Driving in high heels can lead to an accident
Every woman loves high heels. And although they sometimes say that these beautiful, exorbitantly high heels are only suitable for a car, because, probably, not for walking, the truth is a little different.
Although the rules do not regulate the shoes in which we must drive, high heels and wedges (and flip flops in summer) can affect driving safety. The constant pressure on the clutch and brake, and a moment later on the gas, takes a toll on our numb left leg in boots with rather high heels. Unless we have a car with an automatic transmission. Let's think about what can happen when the heel gets stuck in the groove of the rubber mat, preventing free use of the gas pedal, clutch or brake in an emergency. Then we and other road users are at risk.

Poles drive cars in high heels
When walking in high heels, our foot does not have enough traction, and the heel suspended in the air does not have support, which reduces the possibility of feeling the pressure transmitted to the pedals. Also, remember that a sharp pin shortens the life of the mat under the driver's feet.
That is why I advise you to choose shoes for your car that are primarily comfortable, have a flexible sole and do not hinder our movements in the ankle area. They also should not be too wide, because such a sole can lead to the simultaneous pressing of the gas and brake pedals. If we cannot give up our favorite high heels or, for example, we are going to an important meeting where we want to look elegant, we must find an intermediate solution. Takes a change of shoes. If the above arguments are not convincing, I have another one - shoes with heels deteriorate twice as fast when we drive in them than when we walk in them. And every woman who loves her shoes suffers from torn "heels" of shoes in the car.
We will find in our car a place for removable shoes - special for the car - this can be a glove compartment, trunk or a place behind the driver's seat. In addition, we are not doomed to drive in shoes that are not very feminine, because we have extremely charming ballerinas, moccasins or women's boots, in which we will look equally fashionable and feminine, but will also be more comfortable and safer for us. ride in them.
