i hate driving w/o shoes. it is so much harder to press down the pedals, especially the clutch when you dont have shoes on.

It feels weird to drive with slippers, not to mention without shoes. Plus, I would never touch those dirty pedals with my bare feet.

i drive without shoes a lot of the time ... its so hot down here in houston that all i wear is flip-flops if anything at all and I keep them under my driver's seat .. and you can't very well drive with flipflops in a manual.

I also like the improved clutch feel you can get bare-foot

Ok,

now this is gonna sound wierd. I actually perfer when driving competition to drive shoeless or in thin racing shoes (I actually just use wrestling shoes). Driving in socks or thin shoes lets you feel everything that goes on and the response is great. Give it a try. It might be harder to press downt the clutch, but I garuntee after some time you will start to drive smoother and better.
