Starting with a pair of lace up shoes on, then ending with lace up boots on.
One pair takes me 2.05 mins. plus 4 or 5 bruises.
How about you?

What sort of boots are you wearing?
These (I have these and the zip at the side makes them so easy to put on/off)
or these (non steel capped)

I find it almost impossible to drive my 5 with steel cap boots on.

People who work on sites that are entry prohibited without safety footwear.

Come on Bruce, never mind all the macho stuff.
I'll bet you've changed out of your work boots into your 'fun' boots in the car occasionally.

When the diesel shortages were in place in 2012 I drove my MX to the job every day, work boots and our little cars do not mix and OH&S says "No boots, No entry".
The compliance signs at entry points mean what they say.

I've done a complete clothing change (underwear not included) in 5 mins in the drivers seat.

Really?
On the very rare occasions I drive mine into work I wear my steel-caps and don't have any problems.....

Having large feet I can't even drive my NB with runners on.
I also really dislike driving in dress shoes, because I worry that the hard soles will dig into my pristine mats, so whenever I need to look professional I need to change from loafers to dress shoes when I arrive.
I just flat-out can't change shoes in the drivers seat, I can't reach my right foot because of the wheel and the intrusive door panel.
I have to get out and change.

Nevyn72 it could be that I have added slightly larger pedals, especially the accelerator to assist with heel/toe. The space between the pedals is the issue for me.

Likewise. I have bigger pedals. Steel caps are impossible. I just drive in bare feet until I get there.
