In regular tennis shoes, I've mastered it. Off centered to the right plus learning this new clutch engagement is all it takes.
Now, with the work shoes. All I can do is the off-center thing. It helps alot. And next time I just wont get chunky rubber shoes.

im pretty sure driving with-out shoes is in fact illegal. My dress shoes clip the brake when I hit the gas. I just drive with my foot on an angle, I don't wear dress shoes often....
Hmm.. We might have the same shoe. Sketcher's leather low top w/ a boot tread?
The rare times I drive with em, I keep my left heel off the carpet entirely and only engage the pedals with the front 1/3 of my foot. Works well enough, or buy some thin italian style wingtips instead

Yao Ming was to represent "Asian", not Japanese. I have several Japanese friends as I am FAR more intelligent and culturally aware than the stereotypical Kentuckian. I speak German, French, some Italian, and am in the process of learning Japanese.
Careful on those stereotypes and instant personality judgments, chief.

OP, did you ever think of possibly getting new pedal covers? I have the OBX covers and the only time I've ever had trouble with slipping, is when my KSwiss shoes are wet. Any other shoes in any other condition and I'm fine.
