Skechers Shoes for Driving

Some brands and designs make specialized driving shoes, though most athletic and slip-on shoe models will suffice.

There are also a few shoe models and designs that should be avoided at all costs when driving, which we will discuss further along.

However, Skechers shoes for driving offer a safe design, with a more flexible and grippy sole for the pedals, and a comfortable fit, with light cushioning that allows you a better feel of the pedals and soft underfoot comfort.

Do You really Need Driving Shoes

Bringing a vehicle to a sudden stop to avoid a crash does not just require effective brakes but likewise your ability to act swiftly and place adequate pressure on the brake pedals.

Despite being aware of this, few drivers pay much attention to their footwear when driving, especially female drivers. Though most footwear would suffice, shoes such as high heels, flip-flops, slide sandals, or even going barefoot may not be the best way to ensure safety on the road.^[1]

• How Your Footwear Affects Your Driving Ability – To be honest, I have found many shoe types that have hindered my ability to drive. Flip flops tend to get caught on the pedals or slip off your feet, high heels affect the pressure you use on the pedals and can also get hooked on the floor mats, and on the other hand, very heavy platform style shoes place excessive pressure, which you cannot always feel. Your footwear should never obstruct how you feel the pressure of the pedals, especially the brakes. There should be nothing that can slide off or get hooked on the car mats or pedals. Your footwear should cover your toes, and the sole should not easily slip off the pedals.
• According to the Rules – Sad but true, very few countries have any rules in place that stipulate the appropriate footwear for driving. Thus, it is up to you to be aware of the footwear you wear when driving and warn others.

What Shoes Not to Drive With

• Barefoot Driving – Though you may feel that driving barefoot gives you more control over the pedals as you can feel more, trust me, it will make your feet tired and sore quite fast. It would be best if you had heavy pressure to use the clutch, which can make your feet ache and place strain on your foot and ankle muscles. Sweat can cause your feet to slip off the pedals, and your feet lack the grip that most shoes have to stay on the pedals in case of an emergency. Furthermore, your feet are fully exposed should you have an accident.
• Flip Flops – Flip flops offer no support for your ankles, especially for long drives, and they can easily slip off your feet and the pedals when driving. Flip Flops are among the worst choices in footwear when driving. They can easily get jammed behind or underneath the pedals and interfere with pressure, as you need to concentrate more on them not slipping off. In an accident, you have no protection for your feet or toes in flip-flops.
• High Heels and Platforms – To drive safely, your heel and foot need to touch the floor in order to move from the accelerator to brake swiftly. Your forefoot and heel must touch the floor when placing pressure on the pedals. High heels elevate and distort the amount of pressure you place on pedals. They also get caught on the floor mats and can get stuck underneath the pedals. Platforms and wedges are even worse in this regard.

Features of a Good Skechers Driving Shoe

• Uppers – Skechers shoe models for driving are mostly slip-on designs that have no laces that could get caught or in the way. They may have leather, canvas, mesh, or flexible knit uppers with a roomy and breathable fit.
• Cushioning – For comfortable underfoot support, Skechers shoes for driving may have an Air Cooled Memory Foam or Goga Mat insole, and a 5Gen or Ultra Go supportive and shock-absorbing midsole.
• Outsole – Skechers shoes for driving will have a durable rubber outsole with a more lug-patterned tread for better traction on your car’s pedals.
