Is it illegal to drive barefoot in Wisconsin?
We were out on the boat last weekend and my shoes accidentally went overboard—it’s a long story. I didn’t get pulled over on the way home from the lake but I’m curious: Can I legally drive barefoot in Wisconsin?

Sorry to hear about your shoes, but you’re in luck! It is not illegal to drive barefoot in
Wisconsin
.While it is not illegal to drive barefoot in Wisconsin, local law enforcement may recommend that you do throw on some shoes. Here are a couple of reasons why:
- Shoes prevent slipping off of the gas and brake pedals.
- Taking your shoes off while driving could obstruct the natural movements of the gas and brake pedals.
- Driving barefoot can also be deemed as negligence in a car accident. Even though it is legal, your car insurance company may have the ability to deny a claim for driving barefoot—even if there is limited causation.
