    I never drive any car barefoot. Or shirtless. Come to think of it, I always wear pants too.

    What is the point in driving without shoes?

    I’ve been told it is illegal to drive barefoot.

    I find its really not comfortable for me.

    It's legal (at least in America), but sort of... odd.

    Always drive barefoot
    My 12s don’t fit in the pedal box and I have 100% pedal feel without shoes

    The same as driving with shoes, to get somewhere.

    What I don't understand is wearing shoes in the house.

    In summer, wearing deck shoes, I kick them off for a run up the highway - gotta let the old dogs breathe, especially if I'm just sitting on (or near) the speed limit on a long slab of tarmac.

    I bet I spend less than 1 waking hour/day not wearing shoes.

    :) To each his own.

    I can't even wear socks and pants without feeling restricted. Maybe I'm closer to the chimps than you are?:D Anyways, driving barefoot feels very natural to me.

    Even less here. If I'm not in bed I'm wearing shoes.

    To each his own.

    Sometimes, I take my shoes off to drive my 308 for practical reasons. The 308 pedals are off-center and tightly spaced. My size 12s barely fit between the dead-pedal and the brake. When pressing the clutch, my left foot sometimes catches on the dead-pedal. I have a better connection to the car without shoes, and I have more control. It feels better, like unprotected socks.

    I never wear shoes when I'm driving the 308, pedals are just too close together. I store it 6 months so cold feet is never a problem in the other 6 months!

    +1. I’m 6-2 and size 13. No way to drive the 308 except bare foot. Hop in with flip flops and it’s a fun drive.
