Whenever I'm driving a manual tranny car, I almost always take my shoes off.
Really.. I am not a fan of driving w/o shoes on.. kinda feels weird to me. Odd law though.
I dont own any shoes.. just reefs... and ive been pulled over.. you cant even really see your feet in a supra, cop didnt say anything anyway I dont think they really care.
fork a shoe
hmm.. I was thinking about this the other day...
my gf got me a pair of Old Navy sandals over the break this past weekend, and I've been driving/wearing them since....
I would be curious to know
It's not what you have; it's what you know.

I do believe the law is you have to wear shoes, though.. I don't know about sandals/flip flops, someone said it was illegal because they can get caught on the pedals.. But I never saw it in writing.
I don't think there's ANY law stating it. Cause I know alot of people who drive with out shows on, and they've been pulled over and the such.
If it is a law, it's probally like that law that says if you're under 18, you can't ride with more than 1 passenger in your vehicle. It's usually an offense that only asshole cops give out.
It use to be that way but they changed the law back to where you can drive shoe-less

I was pulled over once in MA (not FL I know) and the cop said he could give me a ticket because I had slipped off my sandals and was driving barefoot. He made me put them back on and said it was impeding vehicle operation
I got pulled over for excessive acceleration and after the cop attempted to figure out why my car was still running even though I had handed him the keys, he told me to put on my shoes and exit the vehicle. No problems driving barefoot from him. Barefoot driving is really the way to go because it gives you a much better feel for the engagement of the clutch, imo. The only time I throw on my shoes is for road racing to help heel-toeing.

I just asked a cop buddy of mine and he states it is illegal to drive barefoot but anything that resembles footware is legit. He just says a lot of cops probably dont give a squat about it or notice because they are more concerned with the possibility that they might be pulling over someone dangerous or somehow place themself in a dangerous situation by pulling you over. So all you chancleteras are ok
sounds good, i miss driving with chancletas, ill start asap
