I know I do. But only in the summer months
As a kid, I noticed my friends mom driving her VW wagon barefoot in the
Summer. I asked why. She said that when she was wearing sandals, it was
better to remove them and drive barefoot.

As a teen driver, I fell into the same habit. It makes sense to me. IF I'm
wearing sandals or some such I remove them as IMHO, bare feet are better
than Birks flopping around. And I'm quite comfortable with it. But I might
be breaking a local law...... I just keep the Birks handy.

So who else drives bare foot in the summer?
