Quick question, anyone here use the heel-toe technique? I always wanted to practice n get it dwn, hopefully use it next eom
I heel and toed religiously in my Miatas and in my truck when I drove those. Unfortunately, I find it very difficult to do in my current daily driver and I've gotten out of practice. I use it in the S always, but I'm not as smooth at it as I used to be and I think it's because of the lack of everyday practice.

Any good fitting, moderately thin soled shoe with medium grip that transmits pedal feel well should suffice. I like my 5 dollar kmart specials. But I learned to heel and toe when thick soled Reeboks high tops (with those silly multicolored laces) were all the rage and I was wearing them all the time. Once you know how to do it, you can generally do it in almost any shoe that isn't a clog or a spiked heel.
Or, you could do these $1500 Jimmy Choos...
You know, I used to see these guys running around in their fancy Pilotis and afraid to get them dirty. About half of them were being worn simply because it's like getting a Rolex or Dom Perignon. The owners frequently didn't know the difference, they just bought into the hype.

True most people cant drive and simply wear gear just to floss.... mostly of the Armenian and Arab type or my fellow Indians
I prefer using my Adidas campus shoes but chucks work just as well. Ive started using my competition shoes from Simpson just to get used to my gear again for drift season, the shoes are lighter and offer some more feel of things like the break pedal but if you dont know what to feel for the added sensitivity is for nothing. Keep it simple and keep it fun and most importantly dont fake the funk

I would say, if you are using your regular shoes, tuck in your shoe laces.
I once had the shoe lace stuck somewhere in my civic moving to brake from gas pedal. I was just cruising to a stop so i shook it off and was able to brake. Just thought I would share my experience.
