Big shoes means he wears big socks LOL. The real test is measuring from your thumb to pinky finger...thats actually pretty accurate according to some studies.

Are you taking the measurement when you make a fist?

Wait you mean if you get married you get worse? This could be a very bad thing for the forum if I ever meet that right girl.

I wear boots like these. Am I nuts?

EarthNTX ; Who cut the Tops off of them

Unless with the seat foward you need the extra length seem the heel would keep the front of your foot high . I tried wearing boots and thats what happened to me.

EarthNTX · « **Reply #163 on:** September 17, 2011, 08:57:47 PM »

Well? My seat's as far back as possible. My knees sorta bang under the steering wheel, but I'm strange and that's what I do!

Mind you, I DO wear runners with thick soles so the clutch pedal does give my foot a cramp..ever get that?

The boots I wear are full size. I just didn't have a picture of them. These were the closest style...yeah. That's it!

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #164 on:** September 17, 2011, 10:08:57 PM »

If your foot is on the clutch long enough for you to have a cramp I'm thinking that you're doing something wrong.

Ya like having the seat to far back and a little to low .When you push in the Clutch the Flat of your foot should be on the peddle . If your toes are on it you are putting a strain on the lower calf Muscle. Thats what I think . My

and i'm sticking to it

These are the shoes I wear normally. Dr Marten Lenny and Puma Racer Leather. Both can be considered a driving shoe if you look at what a driving shoe consists of: Barely any sole to feel the pedals best and a little bit of heel padding. They have very little padding so they dont feel clunky. I also like when the sole goes up the back of the heel a little bit so to cut down the wear and tear in that area. The Dr Martens are my everyday non-work shoe. Had them for 4 years and they still look like that picture except for a little toe creasing. The Pumas are for whenever I dont feel like wearing the docs. Just got them earlier this year.

That's not what I mean Bobby, I mean you should only have your foot on the clutch long enough to shift between gears or into/out of neutral. If you stand on the clutch at a stop then you are putting unnecessary strain on the clutch components. You really shouldn't have your foot on the clutch for (some of all you all in Texas please notice the rest of the world spells that F O R) very long.

EarthNTX · « **Reply #168 on:** September 18, 2011, 12:10:06 AM »

I know how to use the clutch pedal.

AND with a harder shoe, it doesn't hurt my toe joints. You young whippersnappers! Imagine telling "ME" how to use a clutch..hahahah...I was born with a silver shift stick in my mouth, don't ya know?

For those who don't know, I have R.Arth and some days are hard on my joints, including my feet. Driving my car makes me feel better and alive!!!!!! Yah!!

LV it is not a photoshop. it's the old brand Robe di Kappa, renamed now Kappa.

http://www.kappastore.com/UK/prodotti.asp?stile=Sneakers&IDMagazzino=&IDReparto=41&IDNegozio=6&IDCategoria=0030&IDSquadra41=0

i saw someone wearing the shoes, with big letters writing Kappa, and i immediatetly thought of this forum!

EarthNTX · « **Reply #170 on:** September 18, 2011, 08:39:12 AM »

FEET and Sneeker shoes!!!

Carol and I have been to many National and several regional meets in the past including the first National Meet held here in Kansas City, Missouri on July 14th, 15th and 16th of 2006 before the Kappa's were even built, and I kept the sticker for that first Meet because being an emotional chap it was a fantastic Meet and then when we finally took delivery of Miss Red Eagle I attached the sticker from that first Meet on the inside windshield glass near the top.

Sometimes I just put the sneekers in the trunk and go with nude feet! Now, sorry about the slightly off topic post but most of you don't have size 15 B sneekers so there is a handicap indeed for driving long distances, but sometimes discard your driving shoes and just try nude, uh, feet, and see what happens, uh, to be honest there is a lot more feel with the flesh only!!!

You see, I have just one old pair of old sneeker shoes that I can drive "Miss Red Eagle" with and and yes, they are my driving shoes and by now they are getting a bit worn and smelly but they are good for long or short trips indeed! All you young chaps and gals who can drive with the Driving shoes are indeed lucky! I don't believe they are available in large sizes!

Actually, your parents didn't want to tell you, but you were born with it in your other end.
They quickly removed it and put it your mouth.
Sorry to be bearer of bad news, but at least now you know why that spoon always tasted like crap.
