I drive barefoot too. Shoeing your foot doesn't alter how hard you can press the brake.
Just keep flip-flops handy for forays outside but not in the driver's footwell as they may slide forward under the pedals.

Vibram five fingers are amezzin. Highly recommend despite their 'different' (ahem) styling.... At least they are not crocs.

I fear saying that at least they are not Crocs is damming with feint praise.

My Dads Velcro slippers aren't Crocs but...well....you get my drift. Those five toe things just give me the willys whenever I see someone in them. It's almost like wearers are trying to prove they don't have webbed feet, come from Norfolk and their Sister is their Mum.

Other than boat shoes, expensive leather boat shoes I find wearing things without socks rather uncomfortable and not a little hot and claggy. Comfy trainers with trainer socks for the start of a drive to the Med changing to barefoot with flip flops in the door pocket. Job jobbed.

I can't take those seriously. All I see is Colin off the Fast Show telling me how much fun he is because they look like alien feet. Doubtless he would also wear a blue lycra outfit and foil hat bu you get the idea. Now ordinarily i don't much care for the views and opinions of others when it comes to my relatively low sartorial standards but ... I just couldn't, any more than I could wear a pair of mini-Speedos through a main street shopping centre (mind you...no...) wink

I only drive wearing purpose made driving shoes and then preferably ones made with nomex. Piloti make some excellent shoes.

I also like to wear branded clothing that matches the vehicle I'm driving at the time.

These are not acceptable in any situation at all.

You'd have to be a major cretin to even think about wearing these boys.
What do you wear when you're on holiday, strolling on the beach of an island in the Indian Ocean, or climbing a rocky outcrop on the coastline of East Africa? Doc Martens? Don't be so fking silly.

Am I the only one who just puts the aircon on? You can even direct the air around your feet if you want.

We're going in the MX-5.

I've wore my trainers on our 'test run' in Ireland last year but I'm hoping it will be a damn sight warmer than it was there.

I do tend to suffer from persistent dose of athletes foot between my 4th and pinkie (RF) hence the need for something breathable.

I might give barefoot over distance a try next time we go for a run out.

Get some decent sandals. Real men aren't scared of stripey feet except when they're attached to a tiger.
