ok everyone, when i test drove the TC i was wearing my sandles, but since it's been kinda cool i've been wearing my sketcher boots. when i wear these boots and go from breaking to accelerating, my foot will sometimes catch the break pedal. there's not enough room between the two, also when i step on the clutch the top part of my boot will catch on the panel, causing erradic shifting on my part. the boots are only a size 12, i guess they don't wear size 12s in japan. is there anything i can do besides get new shoes (which i'm not opposed to because i love driving my TC)?

 

I remember seeing several threads about this. I think people suggested changing the pedals but I'm not sure. I'm too lazy to look up the threads and unfortunately chucksu is in boot camp

 

I too have seen a few threads about this already. in fact, I started one myself... :D

i have driven in size 12 tim's and had no problem except the clutch felt weird like it was to sensitive other then that im alright with it

 

i'm glad you started that thread chrisO, lots of good info there. i just thought i was out of luck, now i know i'm really out of luck. LOL

 

I Plan on taking my tC to a custom car shop to move the pedals around, but I think the only thing that could hold me back is that the gas is drive by wire. Don't know if it's adjustable.

 

I had this problem at first, but soon you get used to the placement of your heel and you won't have the problem any more.

But, you will soon find the cheap carpet mats fading where you pivot your foot But we have a 3 year warranty on em. Replace em if necessary.

 

I think toyota engineers used "average specs" when designing their cars.
5' 10" is the average height and size 10 is the average shoe size in North America. The rest of you GIANTS should've bought a truck. :D

 

Well, I guess I'm 3 inches bigger than average .



By that, I mean I'm 6'1". Of course.

 

errr i have a size 14 and i have no probs... i do have auto though so that might be the diff

 

I have size 15s, and there's no problem driving my manual tC.

 

Yes! I'm getting my mat replaced this Friday, and I got my car in July....cheap? They were over $100!!!!

 

I'm on the other side of the scale. My feet are too small lol. I have no choice but lift my whole leg because my feet won't reach far enough to disengage the clutch if I just pivot at the ankle.

 

drive pigon toed it helps instead of having your feet like this \ / which is the way i drove my last car i now drive with my feet like this / \ or \ l depending on what shoes i'm wearing. hope it make sense and i'm not rambling like an fool

 

Well.....got new reaction "box toe" shoes......I now have to wear other shoes when driving, the left shoe rubs all over the place on the clutch and is pain in traffic.

 

damn...I have this problem also! I thought I just had Hobbit feet!

 

Perhpas you do, just know that there is another soul with them too. :-)

At least we both have tC's!

 

If you only sometimes catch the pedal, you'll eventually train yourself to place your feet more precisely. You should try driving my Miata (but lots of people with big feet learn to deal with them).
