I know a few people that drive bare foot, I've always thought this was madness and can drive in most shoes as long as they are not too high. |

Thats interesting - I've got a pair of crocs and agree they are comfy - but I cant drive in them - I find they get caught in the mat. |

I drive in flat shoes but they must have a thin sole, can't wear trainers with thick soles as i can't 'feel' the pedals properly. |

I cant drive barefooted. There are always sharp little stones that get into the car and they cut my feet. |

I cant find anything saying its illegal - only recommending you dont do it as you could damage your feet if you have to break hard in an emergancy - which makes sense - but not illegal. |

Maddiecow, sun is just a distant memory. We have had such foul weather over the last 2 weeks, rain hail thunder gales and now there is a lot of snow predicted. I hope we get some up here, havent had any for years. There was a good fall in 1939 (I was just a small child then) and in 1974 (I think it was) there was another fall, I actually saw it falling but it melted before it touched the ground although up on the higher parts of our hills it was 'better'. If it must be so darned cold, please let us have some snow. |

There is also the issue of what happens if you are involved in an accident. The consensus is that the insurance companies may well refuse to pay out and you could end up with having to foot the entire bill. |

I can drive in most shoes but I usually keep to one or two pairs - not at the same time though! - as I find the back of the heels get scuffed. |

I like to drive in lace up shoes with a thin sole, so I can feel the pedals, and lace up so my foot dont come out of them. |

Grannie, Dont worry, I would not drive in shoes that had hole in them. I just mean that I would not like to drive in trainers with a thick sole. |

I am off out now, its been interesting reading all your comments. I have elected for soft pump shoes and shant be going barefoot today, however, I dont think I dont think I can say hand on heart in a similar situation I wouldnt drive bare foot again. Unless of course there is something to say it is definetly illegal. |
