A strange topic you may think but for driving my zed, I have to wear school p.e type plimsolls.
This is because there's not much hight from the floor to the trim above the pedals, so unless I wear my plimmos, my feet sometimes get trapped, which is not ideal.
Not having petite feet doesn't help (size 12).

Been looking at specific driving foot wear, which I can find online, such as these ......

But does anyone know of a shop in the u.k that sells them ?, so I can go and try them on before parting with any cash.
Donington park used to have a shop that stocked these things but it sadly closed down.

Sports Direct or similar stock light driving trainers Steve. I have a pair very similar to the white ones. V comfy for driving as under light.

Edit: you'll get fleeced for bespoke 'driving' trainers.

Tried our local sports direct and a few other places but they don't go up to size 12 in anything near suitable :meh:.

Great topic!:thumbsup:
I noticed also it's dangerous to drive the Zed with "no matter what" on your feet!

We have the flagship sports direct on our doorstep. It's absurdly massive so next time I'm in I'll ask for you..

I usually wear Sketchers "Go Walk" shoes Steve, very light and extremely comfortable to boot :)oops:) I have brought Reebok driving shoes home from Fla. which are smarter to look at but not as user friendly.

Any decent motorbike shop will sell “paddock boots”. CMC at Chesterfield have a shop that sell discounted clothing at fair prices.
