    I'm a gimp anyways, thanks to a drunk driver, and my left leg looks like chopped liver from knee to toe. In that case, I almost never even wear sandals. Heck, very rarely even wear shorts since my left calf looks like a pencil next to my right calf. Plus, it tends to hurt walking bare foot for my left foot with the nerve damage I have. Every step feels like 50 tacks being rammed into my heel.

    So, nope, "I" don't drive barefoot. I do wear DC track shoes when I autoX though (and almost every day for the hell of it) and they have very little sole, so maybe it's as close to barefoot as I will ever get in a car. As for how I feel about other drivers driving barefoot.... I have no "major" issue with it until they hit me. I do tend to believe it impairs their pedal operation slightly, especially with a clutch, but that's just my opinion.

    Oh, I get it...

    Under no circumstances should anyone ANYWHERE EVER drive without proper footwear! Proper footwear meaning fully covered preferably over-the-ankle in case of twisting shoes or boots with adequate cushioning on the insole of the shoe for comfort, and good tread on the soles to prevent shoes from slipping off pedals.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.
