Shoes or Socks?

[01GTP]

Mocassin slippers for me.

My feet are somewhat tender so I need some protection.

slippers

^ EDIT: I was laughing at Sureboss' comment, not yours 01GTP. You just posted quicker than me. Honest
I play bare foot. Minimal slippage, maximum feel.

 

[MarkWebber]

Socks for me

 

[Ren]

Usually socks... now that it's hitting over 30 degrees here regularly I adapted to barefoot

 

[Zimmerd]

Socks, as most people here I see

 

[Dynablaster]

Pair of WHITE socks.

 

[Fredzy]

wow great question, never thought so many people would do the same as I,

socks

 

[kikie]

Socks!

Prove:




Question: what has this got to do with GT5D?

 

[yossigab]

Yep barefoot here also! with socks on my feet slip off the pedals at the crucial times and without they stick like glue basically 👍

I'm using socks as well.
In order to solve the "slippering" problem that you are having (I had this too), I bought a special pen-tube in kind of a "home depot" store. This special pen-tube is something like a "colored glue" for painting & decorating. My wife made a few stripes on the bottom of the socks, and when it dries it made my socks anti-slips.
It is very good solution !!!

Socks... I even got a special pair of black ankle socks with grippers on the bottom (I think for Yoga).

Socks here.
Smell good.

Kinda' like these that I used (slipper-socks with grippy rubber design on the base):

Bit expensive for what they are, but very warm and toasty when the cold weather arrives!

Shoes, more realistic.

 

[Glubags]

Socks. The G25 pedals aren't stiff enough to provide enough resistance for good pedal feel through even my flimsiest old Puma driving shoes... shoes result in a heavy foot for me every time.

 

[cletus 669]

I am socks only on my DFP. Next question.... How many of the socks guys have special "racing socks" and keep them seperate from thier everyday socks?

 

[LearnersPermit]

Shoes, because the Fanatec Club Sport pedals are tough to press since I have the springs set very tight.

 

[TouringDevotee]

I only wear tabi slippers. Or at least I would if I could find mine. Time to order another pair.

Just as I thought the GT5 forum couldn't have questions any more foolish, this thread pops up. I use neither shoes nor socks, bare feet here.

So why do you bother to answer the OP his question than??...



spy.

Uhuh... Are those shoes professional racing spec? If not, I'd say the more "realistic" option is that which gives the gamer the most tactile feedback through the pedals, and given that most gaming rigs have pedals that are nowhere near as heavy as pedals in a real car, socks or bare feet offer a far more "realistic" experience in that respect.

If it's such a foolish topic, why did you bother responding in it?

 

[ADEuk]

Real men do it with their socks on

[HEMIata]

There is so much heat transfered from the engine through the firewall to the pedals that I have to use socks. My ol' feet are not as tough as they use to be or I'd be barefoot

 

[K1LLD0z3R]

Socks FTW

 

[novcze]

DFPro here and I wear slippers made from sheep wool

 

[Tenacious D]

Socks FTW

Same here. 👍

Not pro, more of a sport type. They have a very thin layer of rubber, so you get great feel of the pedals. I prefer them to socks because:

1. You wear them when driving for real.
2. Better grip on pedals
3. Easier to heal/toe. Doesnt hurt your feet compared to socks.
4. Toes dont get split between the edges of pedals

I'll just have to concede that there are people out there who take gaming far more seriously than I do

 

[TrievelA7X]

Socks.

But I do have a pair of racing shoes I use for real track days that are flexible and light enough to use if I choose.

Hey man, I thought you said you were running with a DS3?
