Default Small Pedal Box

Having just recently acquired a very nice '95 993 Cab, I'm starting to realize that it was not designed with much consideration to accomodate large feet. Have any unique solutions been devised, primarily for long feet (width is a lesser ssue)?

Driving shoes or skinny sneakers. I cant wear running shoes in mine because they are too big.

Wait and see how small the pedal area is in a Pantera.

Not sure on 993, but Targas and Cabs are smaller footwells than coupes on 911's.

Pull up the carpet and padding and you can get another 1.5 inches..

I have big feet (sz 13) and never had an issue in the street car as long I wore small shoes, but it was tight.

In the race car, with all of the carpet and padding removed, its perfect.

I'm sure you could devise some way of removing the padding just below the pedal without it looking too bad...

Funny how much smaller the pedal box is on a 993 compared to a 911. I'm comparing an '85 and '87 to my '95. The transition was not fun. I prefer the larger pedal box on the older cars.

I don't have huge feet - but I can't wear running shoes either.
