I LOVE driving barefoot. I know, safety blah blah blah... I still think it's frowned upon in general.
That's why I drive in barefoot shoes. And also wear them everywhere else.

What does your underwear have to do with driving shoes?

What did you wear between your butt and the nomex suit? No thong? Your funeral.

shoelaces dangling over a dog cage...

those would be pulled into the cage in the 45 seconds it takes me to put him in there and then get to the door to leave.

After a few more miles on the Puma Speedcat, plus the Cusco pedal insert. I have to say it has changed my driving experience for the better.


Side note, I went to a shopping outlet and visited a Puma store. They've got some pretty nice looking shoes with lots of F1 merchandise, pretty cheap too. Guess it caught me by surprise seeing a company that is so involved in motorsports having such cheap items.
