Don't think it would make much of a difference depending on the shoes.

That's my point. A shoe with a sole raises your entire leg and when every quarter of an inch counts it's far more cost effective to change to a low profile shoe when driving. You could pick up a pair of Aqua Socks or something similar.

As the clutch disc wears in any car, you will start to take up free play, so its important that you keep an eye adjustment as you put a lot of miles on the car. If the pedal is so far out in order to maintain any free play at all , then that is an indication that your about out of clutch disc material and be prepared for a replacement sometime in the near future. If you want to feel what a perfectly adjusted clutch pedal feels like in an s2k, drive my car.
Could you point me to a DIY or explain it further? I'm assuming this is the 12 mm nut and the turning of the master cylinder rod but how do you know when its set correctly? I'm hesitant to mess with it since I don't want to be partially riding the clutch. Although if I could get the clutch closer to the brake, that would be ideal.
