Here are Pietzsch’s suggestions for some of the best-and not-so-great-footwear options for driving.īest Shoes To Wear While Driving SneakersĬomfortable tennis shoes or running shoes-ones that fit securely to your foot and that have a flat sole-are best for applying even pressure on the brake and accelerator pedals and for pivoting your heel from one pedal to another.

Then just swap them out once you arrive at your destination. Pietzsch suggests putting on your driving-specific shoes before you hit the road, and keeping your other shoes out of the footwell where they can get in the way. The shoe should wrap around your entire foot yet allow for freedom of movement in the footwell–the compartment in front of the driver where the pedals are located. This allows you to distribute force evenly across the surface area of the sole and onto the car’s pedals. In general, driving shoes should attach securely to the foot and have a flat sole with adequate traction. Of course, you won’t always be wearing sensible shoes when you head out, so the best practice is to keep a pair of shoes in the car specifically for driving, Pietzsch says. The good news, though, is that the right kind of shoes can help prevent these types of incidents. “The wrong kind of shoe can cause an obstruction or a hazard while driving,” says Ryan Pietzsch, driver safety education expert for the National Safety Council. Some 16,000 crashes each year are due to driver pedal error, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Wearing the wrong kinds of shoes when behind the wheel can lead to “pedal error”-your foot slipping off of either the brake or accelerator pedal, or pushing the wrong pedal-both of which can cause a crash. Turns out, though, while those shoes may look great with your outfit, they may not be the best choice for driving. We’ve all been there: You’re heading out wearing high heels or slippery-soled men’s dress shoes and get in the car to drive.
