This is my left shoe being chewed up by the clutch pedal.

What is that, a steel-toe work boot? Pull the rubber knobs off your pedal if its hurting your shoe.

They are ECCO's.
Walking / tracking shoes with softisch sole.
Not your best choice of driving shoes
And its hard to heel-and-toe with it too, allthough they are wide.
I will definetly NOT remove the rubber knobs off the pedal!

Because of the total lack of torque I have to shift all of the time to keep the revs up

I'm glad that's not happening to the bottom of my left foot!

I wear sandals almost all the time (change once I get to the office), but go barefoot for the clutch pedal. The rubber pads are somewhat annoying, but geez wearing through shoe soles?!?
