High heels convert to driving shoes for women drivers

A shoe that changes from stilettos into flats at the push of a button has been created for women drivers.
The high heels can be concealed inside the shoe while the wearer is behind the wheel and then extended for a more glamorous look.
The 'driving heels' design was commissioned by insurance firm Sheilas' Wheels following a poll of 754 women that showed four in five wore the wrong shoes for driving.
One in 10 admitted they had had an accident or near-miss because their shoes slipped off or got stuck between or under the pedals.
Around a third had worn flip-flops and 18% had worn no shoes while driving.
Sheilas' Wheels spokeswoman Jacky Brown said: "Stilettos, sling-backs and strappy sandals are not the sensible choice when it comes to controlling a car."
If I'm wearing a mule or sandals or heels, I drive barefoot, which is almost nine months out of the year here. But I'll bet that's one butt-ugly shoe they've designed. Any pictures?
One of the best for driving, in my opinion, is the loafer.
Same for me - if I have a high heel on - I simply take off my shoe before driving. I like that close feel any way.
Yup...if i can't drive in the shoe, I simply take it off.
I can remember my aunt had what she called her driving shoe, an old loafer that remained in the car. As kids, whenever we got into the car with her, we had to scramble under the seats in search for it.

A few people don't even wear a shoe when they're in their car.
They use their naked foot.
