    I wear driving shoes, because my sneakers are two wide in the toe area. With my sneakers it's too easy to hit the brake and the gas at same time. Done that, scares the crap out of you.

    Another more expensive possibility is to replace your steering column with one of the new short columns The steering shaft is just the 3/4" double D shaft which gives you more room at the firewall than a standard column. You could also add one of the Steer Clear units give you more room for pedals and feet by offsetting that allow you to mount your short column up to 16" off of the floor. Speedway sells them ($600 - $700). Not cheap buy a way to find more room for a 3rd pedal.

    For the additional $1000 (Steer Clear + shorty column) you can buy a lot of driving shoes.
