I know I will get some flack for this, though I will say if you have not done this before, you definitely should put this on your bucket list.

I did this last night for an after-dinner drive and rowing 3 pedals while barefoot was a very tactile experience...Especially in the 997 the connection to the car, road and driver was closer...

That's why I drive with no pants on.

Aww, fer cryin’ out loud OP, such lofty praise - and you were only barefoot. Seems like you’re on the brink of being an autosexual. Just come out of the garage, drive naked, and be done with it. We, or at least I, won’t judge you!

+1. The only thing better than feeling it through the seat of your pants is feeling it directly through your buttcheeks.

all fun and games until the feet start sweating, then wham, no brakes, popped clutches, and damn, the wheels fly off

I have done this starting with my first car, a 1970 VW Bug! Love driving barefoot.

I definitely always kick off the Olukai’s then drive barefoot.

Drive Barefoot?? Well.....I never had any shoes.....used to have to walk 20 miles uphill each way to school!

Yup. Me and my brother had to share 1 pair of shoes. It sucks wearing 1 shoe to school.

I drive barefoot most of the time. Living in Hawaii, I wear slippers (slippahs) or flip flops 100% of the time.
My car in SoCal, which is conducive to sandals 10 months of the year, follows suit. If super cold, I wear my "driving shoes".
(My "driving shoes" are minimalist trail running models with a wafer thin sole.)

I find barefoot heel-and-toe shifting and subtle brake modulation are much easier than with shoes on.
When in Sport mode, the throttle sensitivity increases by half and modulating the gas pedal is a bit tricky until underway.
It is a snap when barefoot.

You can't really claim proficiency in toe/heel until you can do it in flip/flops.

And yes, barefoot whenever possible.

Sounds like the voice of experience LOL!

Didn't expect this to be my first post but this did bring back visceral memories of a much younger me driving my 71 bug down the road barefoot, oh what a feeling!

Duh! That's pretty much the only way I drive in summer. Flip flops showed under the seat, 3 pedals barefoot. No driving shoes can give you that feeling.
