Default Pedals And Foot Room

Tried a 1988 911 and found that it is very easy to hit left toe of size 13 shoe on part of the body when the clutch is fully pressed in. Only solution I can think of is to use dress shoes which are smaller. Anybody have this situation and a solution?

Was this a Targa, a coupe, or a convertible?. Yes, it does make a difference.

This may be a solution:



These are Piloti's, but there are other brands of driving shoes.

Size 13's in my Targa, no issues with my big honkin feet, you just get used to it, shoes can make a big difference.

Porsches weren't really designed about mutants! This is a common problem for larger people today,--and hence the reason Porsches have grown in that area.

I bought a pair of Piloti's but usually I just wear water shoes from Costco.
