To ask if you can drive in any shoes?

[Allmyarseandpeggymartin]

Tried to drive my (newish to me) car in boots with a small 1 inch heel today and constantly felt like I was going to stall the car!

I’ve been driving ages but I can’t see to drive in anything other than flat boots, converse or ballet flat!

Is it just me? What am I doing wrong? I don’t want to be going around revving like a boy racer cos I want to look less like a potato!

I would drive in flats and swap to heels once parked.
I can’t drive in heels of any height.

I keep an old pair of trainers in the car for this exact purpose! I can drive in most things now, but anything with a seperate heel won't work - I can do my platform trainers/chunky platform boots, so it's not the height, just the angle of my foot I think. Oh, and Ugg boots - I once tried to drive in those and did some accidental braking, terrifying.

I'm a pro at switching to my old trainers quick in the car now

I can drive in any shoes/boots/trainers.

No, definitely can't drive in heels! I keep flats in the car to swap for wellies as I can't drive in them either.

@PheasantsNest I am in awe! How?

Does the car feel different to you when you change shoes?

@Allmyarseandpeggymartin no. I've driven barefoot before only in a car park and it was no different.

I can drive comfortably in any shoes, including heels. I find no difference between any sliders, boots, trainers, heels, anything.

I can't! Although I rarely if ever wear heels but do recall they can be tricky. I also can't drive in anything with too thick a sole or that's wide like hiking boots as you just can't feel the pedals.

Also drive in any shoes, prefer heels to be honest!

I can pretty much drive in anything. I'm not keen on high heels but cant rember last time I wore them. I tend to wear Nike Air most days to work.

I can drive in any shoes, but wouldn't drive in very thick soles as too difficult to judge pressure, nor in sliders - very unsafe as the can slide off.

Yes I can drive in heels no problem. It does ruin them though so I keep an old pair of shoes in the car just for driving.

Can't drive in walking boots though.

I felt a massive difference when I had some trainers with thicker soles 😂 but you soon get used to it!

No I can't drive in heals, wellies, UGG's, and I won't drive in flip flop's as you can fined for that. UGG's are too wide so I don't trust that I only have my foot on one pedal, with wellies I can't feel what I am doing and with heals I can't get the pressure right as the foot is on an angle.

Sorry, should be heels, not heals.

No.
I take spare shoes in the car with me if necessary so I can change when I get to my destination

I can drive in any footwear. Funnily enough I had this exact conversation with DD2 today. She just passed her test a couple of weeks ago and was saying she can only drive comfortably in a couple of pairs of shoes.

It’s really dangerous to drive in heels. An impact can break your feet.

I can drive in any shoes.
Don't like driving barefoot though.

Wouldn’t be able to drive in ballet flats for one thing! They don’t stay on my feet which is why I never wear them.

I don’t think I could drive in heels. Can’t drive in flip flops (obviously!) or stiff walking boots. Needs to be flat, normal shoes or boots.

I wouldn’t drive in heels or flip flops. I just wear a pair of trainers and swap

Can drive in bare feet though

I can’t drive in heels or doc Martin type boots.

Can only drive in shoes that are secured to my feet - ie boots, trainers. Cannot drive in flat shoes - even thought the shoes fit perfectly they seem to want to slip off and also find flat shoes horribly uncomfortable to drive in.

I've driven in buffalo trainers before. Big platforms that the Spice Girls wore. I can happily drive in anything other than flip flops. Which I think are just dangerous.
