haha stereotyping.

By that logic, you're from Germany therefore you must be a Nazi.

Never tried it and probably never will. Why would I wear my boots any longer than I usually want to?

If it is under 30mins I just take my right boot off. Not worth the hassle of driving with both boots to save 1 minute of time and it probably would make my drive longer if I had both boots on.

im gonna call bull shit to anyone who says they drive in shi boots. down the road does not count.. its very hard and very dangerous. not to mention you cant really press the petal in most cars without moving your ankle.

kinda what I was thinking too... maybe its just me but I couldn't even get the clutch half way in when I tried. Also my foot would hit the brake because my pedals are pretty close together.

well i don't have to worry about a clutch and it depends what kinda car you have too. My pedals are perfect for it and I can drive in boots all day.

With my bigger boots its not possible w/o ripping out wires n shit. Plus its waaaay more comfortable and safe to just wear shoes.
