Can you get a ticket for driving without shoes?

I hate shoes. I think of them as foot prisons. So when I’m driving and the weather is nice, I always take my shoes off. Can I get a ticket from law enforcement for driving without shoes?

Eric Schad · Updated on Apr 7, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Contrary to popular belief, you cannot get a ticket for driving without shoes. Not a single state has any laws that prohibit driving barefoot, but safety issues remain.

Driving with shoes is a

safer idea for driving

because you get more grip on the pedals. When you’re barefoot, you’re far more likely to have your foot slip off the brake or gas pedal, which can result in an accident.

While driving barefoot may seem like a more comfortable idea, investing in a pair of good driving shoes is perhaps the better option. If you want to save some money to buy a pair of shoes, start by comparing car insurance options with the

app.
