Has anyone ever driven the Si with steel toes? I'm starting work soon at a place that requires steel toed boots. I dont want to keep a 2nd pair of shoes in the car (everyone at work drives with steel toes but they have automatics). How easy is it?

i hate drivin with any shoes at all...long barefoot summers ftw...just take them off thats what i do or keep a pair of slippers in the car...lol works tho

You'll get used to it after time. You wont have as much pedal feel obviously.

It is probably manageable but it will be more difficult than if you were to use other shoes. I find it taking some adjustment time whenever I switch from sneakers to flip flops or dress shoes.

I could drive this car perfectly with NO FEET. Steel toes are no biggie, just do it!

Yeah, only prob. with steel toe is pedal feel. Although when I was driving my car in traffic with some heavy boots on I went to push the clutch in and skimmed the brake with my left. Needless to say, my neck hurt for about a week from the jolt. Other than that, it is no prob. Oh and you will get use to it.

I have a pair of crocs for driving tehe!

They hide just under the seat. Then again I guess I don't have to do as much work while driving a CVT.

For my summer job I worked in a window factory and had to wear steel toes. I always carried my regular shoes with me to and from work so I could change into them. I got tired of changing my shoes all the time so I just drove with them on. It's not as bad as you think, very do-able. Like others have said you just loose some feel for the pedals.

try driving with metal tip cleats........ lol

I drive with them everyday and never have a problem, so it shouldn't be too bad for you.

I HATE driving with my steel toe boots, I stall so many times. I usually carry them in the trunk and drive with normal shoes and just swap when I get to work.

steel toe boots aren't bad. A little getting used to but overall, not too bad. Try driving with ski boots on! haha. (i tried it around the parking lot one day, to see if i could haha) (not on the civic)

This is my first post, had to add in. I worked as a mechanic and was backing out some European car with the clutch depressed, got rollin, went to hit the brakes and nothin. My toe had gotten stuck in between the thin pedals and lodged under the brake arm. Hit a car....

Our pedals are not that close together though.

I wear boots to work everyday. (Not steel toe.) I don't have any issues.

Although, I will tell you that they seem to wear the floormats pretty fast.

I usually drive with my rollerblades on, so steel toes shouldn't be a problem!!
:biggrin:

<------- Air Force AMMO. Almost all of my driving is with steel toed boots. I dont' find it any different than driving with my Tims on. Nothing beats my Kart Kats or my Future Cats though.

I wear steel toe shoes all the time, learned to drive my car with boots, and rarely do I ever wear sneakers. I found it to be no big deal, though I will admit it took abit to get used to the clutch when I did wear sneakers.

I would imagine you could get used to driving with anything - including STB's. ...probably do a lot of cursing in the beginning though. Good luck! :thumb:
