The right shoes do make driving that little bit nicer, especially when the pedals are a bit crowded as in a Morgan .... I've obviously worn flameproof driving boots in the racer and they give great feel (but a bit pretentious for a road car 🙂) ... by an odd wrinkle of the rules for Hillclimbs, full FIA fireproof suit, gloves and helmet are mandatory .... but boots are not. As the fireproof boots are somewhat expensive a good few drivers wear boxing boots .... neat fitting with no welts to catch etc (and usually straight black rather than lurid race colours so less intrusive to wear in public) .... everything you need in a driving shoe but can be bought cheaply at any decent sportswear shop .... I have some and they work well though I usually wear some not too clumpy ordinary boots in the Morgan as most of my driving involves walking about somewhere when I get there and, like Hamwich, I can't be arsed to be changing shoes all the time. The only thing I miss with the Morgan is not being able to wear my signature DMs as they catch on the pedals.
But to each their own and, although I'm too much of a peasant myself, I can see the pleasure in having the right good-quality tool for the job .... and that includes beautifully made driving shoes if that feels good for you.
