I do have a pair, well a couple of pairs, of driving shoes. You might know what I mean. Generally slip on with either no heel or a very small one the material of which sometimes extends up to protect the heel counter area of the shoe. Thin soles so you can feel the pedals.
Of course, if I'm just nipping to Sainsroses or some such I don't bother with them but for long journeys I find them much better for driving than a heavier winter weight shoe or boot. In summer I sometimes drive in bare feet for even more feel.
A friend who originates from NZ has what he calls his driving trousers. They are in fact an ancient and very careworn pair of canvas army surplus cargo shorts which last saw the inside of a washing machine when they had mangles on the top. He wears business suits most days and likes to protect his best strides by swopping them for the shorts when he has a long run to do. He has occasionally arrived at meetings having forgotten to change back into his trousers.
Do you have any automotive apparel or footwear preferences ?
