PlanAhead to carry the right shoes for the day/night and wear the right shoes for driving!

  • Avoid barefoot driving. If you need to stop quickly, a bare foot may not provide enough braking force—and heavy force can lead to injury.
  • Flip flops can easily slide off your feet and off the pedals—decreasing your reaction time.
  • High heels can get stuck in floor mats and force feet into unsafe angles that impact reaction time and braking force.
  • Shoes with very smooth soles can slip off gas and brake pedals—impacting driving safety.

The best shoes for driving have non-slip soles and allow the foot to feel the pressure needed by the pedals to achieve the desired braking or acceleration. PlanAhead. You can always change shoes once you arrive at your destination.
