Race boots or Puma speedcats are a definate I would say.

My size 11s are fine in my Vortx, I can drive in normal trainers but prefer my speedcats.

My normal trainers are too large to drive the Indy. However even if they do you don't really want to be driving with big sioled trainers anyway, you want to feel the pedals. Best option is obviously racing shoes, or Speedcats, however I got some cheap chav Lonsdale jobbies which are perfectly fine provided you don't wear a hooded top too :P

My mate drives a Westie with no problems and he has size 12/13 feet. Obviously size 13 Doc Martens aren't necessarily going to cut the mustard, but I dont think you'll ahve too much trouble with sensibly chosen close fitting footwear

My son - size 13 manages my Striker OK, his problem was the width - the pedals are quite close, but with suitable footware he manages to drive it, manages to drive it quite well in fact.

I have 12/13s. I find it easier to drive my old Westfield (1990) & current Stylus than I do the wifes Cleo or any other hatchback come to that.

There is no excuses.
