Is it illegal to drive barefoot in Florida?

I’m on vacation in Florida, and I don’t feel like bringing shoes to the beach, but we have to drive there. Is it illegal to drive barefoot in Florida?

I hope you’re enjoying your getaway! No—it is not illegal to drive barefoot in the state of
Florida
. In fact, no state currently has laws banning barefoot driving, although it’s not exactly advised.
Driving barefoot can hinder
safe driving
because it poses the following risks:
  • Bare feet often lack grip and can easily slip off pedals
  • Your feet have less protection in the event of an accident, especially if you have to exit a car around broken glass
  • Without a shoe to evenly distribute pressure, your foot can become fatigued more quickly and risk cramping while driving
It may be irritating, but you can always leave your shoes in the car once you’re done driving.
