It does help to be selective in the choice of footwear for driving. I have not resorted to driving shoes yet as I did find a pair of Sketchers that were styled fairly narrow and the soles are smooth around the edges and don't protrude out past the leather portion. Most other casual shoes I have seem to have the edges of the soles sticking out quite a bit all around the uppers. And they hang on the pedals and both shoes sometimes hang up on each other. And shoes with lug soles that are knobby on the sides will really cause you problems.

The Cobra foot box and slightly skewed seating position does feel a bit un-natural at first but I got used to it pretty quickly.
