When I had my Elise, I had to drive wearing Sparco driving shoes, the pedals where close together and if I had clogs on the possibility of hitting the brake and throttle together at the same time was high!
When I collected my Maser I did not think about the shoes I was wearing, and being a work day I had my steel toe capped shoes on, bad idea, I nearly ran into the back of a car at the first set of traffic lights less than 5 minutes from collecting her. Not good! So drove her home wearing just my socks, which actually, I quite like doing in hot weather, done it for years.
Now I find the drive by wire throttle very sensitive, much more so than my cable throttle Elise ever was.
So driving shoes, I have bought a pair of Piloti Sebring driving shoes, a bit more classy than the Sparco number, but I find the 'feel' underfoot a little lacking, which is surprising to be honest, the sole is so stiff compared to the Sparo shoes I have, that are very thin underfoot.
Does anyone experience the same problem?
Cheers
Mike
