Whats your favorite footwear while driving,???
bought a new pair of boots, could'nt find Redbacks or Blundstones, so ended up with Elastic sided Baxters, made in NSW, needed real bad, my others were falling to bits,
Hate breaking in a new pair of boots with the stiff leather, went down to PO in slippers and what a relief, so easy to press the pedals,  
Normally on a trip wear leather runners ,any model as long as its leather cause my feet get hot in the enclosed space of a car,with cotton socks

Depending on the climate I wear good sneakers and good thick cotton socks, or if it's warmer I wear comfortable reef sandals. As long as the shoes are secure to avoid tangles with the pedals, and slows down the swelling and sweating.

Bare foot.Joggers to hot,chinese bloody things cant be trusted.I guess that whatever you feel safe and comfortable in is your choice.As long as is not sandals and socks.Cheers.Ibbo.

.. joggers, light shoes or barefoot .. Basically for comfort but without impeding or restricting anything that might jepoardise my capacity to efficiently drive the vehicle ..

hi.     i have all ways driven in bare feet, ( but its now against the law in most states )    i have allways thought that i had better control with the pedals.

Sandals with socks? Eeeeew! A bad fashion statement - Don't dress like this! Chris

summer at home, thongs, bare feet inside summer out there, ankle socks and apropriate footwear (uncomfortable shoes winter at home, ankle socks and steel cap rossi boots (why does the hammer or lump of steel always hit just behind the steel cap?????????) socks inside winter out there, uncomfortable shoes and socks why the uncomfortable shoes and socks, because the dragon expects a "reasonable" dress code, and what the nagasaurus wants the nagasaurus gets, or I suffer, "such is life"

I'm with you on that one Ken. Like you I even drove the truck in bare feet and it DOES give more control.  Nothing worse than wearing inappropriate footwear only to have the foot slip off the pedal.  Can lead to all sorts of disasters.

yeah tried barefoot in the kenworth hauling wheat in to Pirie, didnt get too far, the boss stepped in some 3 corner jacks and left my feet full of splinters and blood after he left them all over the floor of the rig dont have to worry about that anymore though, mister government man done tooked my HA license away, something about insane people not allowed to drive big rigs, no sense of humour these folk

Best Driving shoes I ever had, were a pair of proper Indian Moccasins, for the same reason as Ken said. It's the closest to driving with bare feet, which I prefer also. Only problem was, they were Hickory smoked, and whenever out of the vehicle, whatever dogs were around, used to follow me every-where. The Moccs. smelled like Bacon. Cheers, xina.
