We ladies love to look good all the time. Whether we have just woken up or going to the shop around the corner, looking good is not an option but a priority. Although driving in heels may make you a classy driver, it could pose a danger to you and affect your driving ability. How so?
Research shows that wearing inappropriate shoes for driving can reduce the amount of control you have over a vehicle's foot pedals causing you to lose control of the car in turn causing an accident. Many motoring experts say this is a serious safety faux pas.
Heels are dangerous to wear because while driving you're not getting a good feel of the pedal and your feet /shoe might get stuck under the pedals or slip off.
Flip flops usually don't have support around the heel which makes them difficult to keep on and unsafe to wear when driving as they may also slip off resulting in a terrible loss of control.
I know what you thinking, yes you may have been driving with heels or flops for years and nothing has happened. But think about what will happen if your car breaks down and you need to walk a distnace to get help, you will need a reliable comfortable pair of shoes to get you there as heels won't do the work. Also by losing control of your car, not only affects you but other road users as you could end up colliding with them. One can't predict when an accident may occur, it is advisable that you are cautious in terms of wearing shoes that will make driving safer and comfortable.
A rubber soled flat shoe that allows for easy movement and has a solid grip on the pedal should do the trick and help you avoid being in an unsafe situation
