As far as I am aware it is not illegal. Driving in bare feet however is, even socks or tights are classed as bare foot driving I think. I don't drive in heels, never have, never will. I did once reversed my car off the drive wearing a pair though. It didn't cause me a problem, but I could never forgive myself if I drove any distance and then caused an accident and it was down to what I consider non sensible foot wear.
I always wear trainers or my work shoes (standard men’s leather loafers), if I am going for a drive then I will wear my driving trainers, a pair of Puma Speed Cat’s a nice unisex trainer, not manly but not particularly girly either.
Women’s Speed Cats
Men’s Speed Cats
See pretty much the same, though I was lucky and got the men’s ones (big feet) that look the same as the women’s.
And for you lucky girls that have smaller feet (UK8 or less)
Future Cat, Women’s these are cute.
