It's hot here right now so I use barefeet ftw. When it's cold I usually use socks because the metal on the G27 pedals are usually cold. I never wear shoes or jandals because I just don't it feels weird.
 
Since its winter and my Pedals are Metal. *G27* my feet are cold as hell. i like my Sockies warm and have decent grip on the pedals :)

Even in summer i will wear Sockies

Thats why sockies are awesome :sly:

best advice guys. wear tight slippers there just like a pair of sparco racing shoes lol

LOOOOOL 👍

Socks, because Logitech pedals are crap and I need to protect them from my sweaty feet.
Shoes are too big, especially to heel/toe.
I wear SPARCO semi-racing shoes. Blue-white colour. I adore dem!
I envy you. Where'd you get em?
 
Never shoes because I simply don't have any indoor shoes and don't feel a need to get any. Always sockies for me, but sometimes 2 pairs because I freeze easily on my toes.

[...] because I have always done my best in time trials while wearing them. Placebo, maybe, but I never time trial without them.

Well of course you get your best time trials while wearing them, if you never time trial without them. Just like you also get your worst time trials while wearing them, if you never time trial without them. :dopey:
 
I wear socks, the metal pedals aren't only cold but they're pretty sharp.

Yes they are I wear shoes personally my socks slide of randomly sounds dumb I know but when racing and your foot slides of the brake it gets intense lol
 
I always wear trainers, big chunky ones too, hehe!


:dopey:
 
I wear socks, because of the DFGT pedals. I think I'll get a pair of racing shoes soon, though.
 
I drive with Fanatec CSP v2 and the breaking forces are pretty high and way too much to be comfortable with socks. I drive with Sperry Driving Moccasins, they are light, very comfortable, very flexible and with excellent traction.

How do you manage to do that? You might have some talent lol. You use Basketball shoes?


HA-ha! I'm just used to it I guess, nothing to do with talent. Not Basketball shoes, more like a casual hiking shoe trainer type thingy.

I wear socks when I use my G25, my size 11 Adidas Samba shoes would be too big.
 
I wear socks, but I don't really prefer to... I'd prefer if I could find a setup for my G27 that allowed me to wear my shoes and heel and toe. But when wearing shoes my feet are crowded and rub.

Nonetheless, I don't really have a setup that I like, as I don't even have an angle I can heel and toe with. Then again my "setup" is a $30 sawhorse from homedepot and a convenient ikea Poang chair.
 
I've always used my G27 with barefeet. The strange thing is I drive with both feet (one on gas, one on the brake) and barefoot but I have never done that with a real vehicle.

I also left foot brake when I'm not using the clutch, though I've never done it in "the real world".
