Driving with Numb Feet.

For what its worth my nissan dealer could not recommend.. He felt that after market product like this were not reliable. Has anyone had a good experience with non slip foot pedals and if so where were they purchased?

Thanks.

The Xero shoes do fit true to size. The toe box is wider than most other shoes and don’t feel flimsy but they are flexible. The lace up ones are tighter but I personally like the slip on. They worked well for me for driving

I have numbness down side of my right leg, centering around the ankle & extending to bottom 1/3 of the foot. I have been diagnosed with some compression of L5-S1. The reason I went to MD was this NEAR miss auto accident. Instead of hitting the brake when the car before me stopped, my foot had 'traveled' to hover over the accelerator & when I pressed the "brake" down to stop my car-it shot forward. Thankfully left lane was open & I steered into that lane. This happened one more time but I had begun putting my car into park every time I stopped so all that happened was my car's engine roared like my car was on the NASCAR starting line & the flag just waved. But every time I talked to the Neuro/orthopedic about these incidents-concerns, questioning what was going on & what can I do to resolve it, I could see a mental shrug -and no one had any comment regarding possible reason or advice to correct. When I read others talking about their problems -then read several articles about results of Clinical Research & driving with diabetic peripheral neuropathy linked, I wanted to sob. When I continue seeking more info & answers & discovered written material about spine compression, peripheral neuropathy & problems driving because their foot had "traveled' over the pedals - I did sob. To me it was confirmation I wasn't crazy! Any advice about how to resolve or any shared experience would be greatly appreciated. I have felt like I was stranded on an island, seeing nothing but water then suddenly I seeing a boat. Thank you for your time reading. Wishing all the very best.
