Driving with Numb Feet.

Posted by davidpn @davidpn, Jul 25, 2023

Over the past year the numbness in my feet has increased and at times I find my foot slipping off the brake. I’ve kept my driving to less than 2 miles and this might occur about once per drive.

My license is due for renewal and the medical form filled out three years ago (numbness not as bad) is due to be resubmitted. I can’t lie to doctors and pretend everything is okay but I do have a question.

Can any one recommend a shoe, currently using skechers which has helped with walking, that might help this problem.

Thanks much.

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.

That could be why the pedals I received didn’t fit like they were supposed to…

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

xeroshoes are a strikeout for me. They are too narrow and the opening of the shoe is too small. Especially aggravates 1 foot that swells due too old injury.
