Many VFFers have discussed on the forums how much they like driving their cars while wearing fivefingers. The lack of padding and sole in fivefingers plus the smooth surface of the sole makes them easy to maneuver around the pedals, providing the driver with a strong sense of force and control.

Less discussed but similarly applied is using your fivefingers to control effects pedals — the kind you see pictured above and used in conjunction with an electric guitar and an amplifier. Very cool!

Bonus points to anyone who can correctly guess what kind of car Lou is driving!

No self-respecting guitar player would drive a lotus, there’s no room for the half-stack! I’ll guess it’s a Subaru Impreza of some kind.

Your right Doug. It’s not a Lotus. But its not a Subaru, it’s my 2007 VW GTI. The half-stack and guitar only fits as long as i fold down the back seats. I love driving it with these shoes though.
