I have a problem with my feet that leaves me with sore and swollen heels (feet) especially when I have been driving a while, this also causes my feet to swell.
Started to wonder what the rally drivers etc wear for comfort, but leaving out the fireproofing side of thier footwear.
Have been looking arround and wondered if any one made shoes/trainers with a gel support arround the heel.
Prefer to wear trainers but of the stuff I have looked up on ebay all the items have very poor/basic descrips. Even the gel trainers @ £120 they seem to think if you are buying them you automatically know all about them.
Any thoughts/advice?
TIA :y :y

I must admit Skruntie I always drive in the shoes I wear most days; between 3 & 1/2" or 4 & 1/2" heels! 8-) 8-) 8-)
Of course that is no good to you (I hope!!) :D :D :D ;)

I bet you can. :o But I think my vision of Lizzie in 4.5" heels is better. Especially when I think of the rest of the things she has mentioned in the last 12 months of the forum. (whips instantly comes to mind) ::) ::) :-X

Why would it be, it's legal to drive in high heels and that could perhaps be a little dangerous, but so could a clumpy pear of boots in the wrong vehicle. I went through a stage a few years ago of using stocking feet. :y

Did you keep the belt on and roll the skirt up, just incase the police stopped you.

Only coz you were unsure which colour to wear, so i said I think women look best in black, so you decided to wear red ones to match your car. ;D ;D

Taken as a matter of fact. Had you forgotten or not driven a mini before. Funnily enough I keep looking at a Mini at work, trying to remind myself of the many many miles I Have driven in a wide range of Minis over many years. ;D ;D ;D

You have really missed something there Andy! :o :o :o
Learnt to drive and passed my test in a mini, then owned a Wolsey Hornet version once. Great fun cars, that every one should have the chance to enjoy before they disappear :'( :'(.

i love driving my sisters cooper, but only for about 10 minutes (i'm 6'3" ;))

They must all have dissappeared by now! ::) ::) :y

No Andy, you'd be surprised :D :D.
There is one that I see here in Ashford, plus I have noted others when driving further afield. The other Elf version I have also had the pleasure seeing in a number of locations.
The truth is all mini's, as well as the other versions, are still well loved and treasured. So many are now 'classic cars' that are sought after. :-* :-* :-* :-* But of course they will become very rare in not many years from now! :'( :'( :'( :'(

My first car was a 1963 half-timbered Mini Countryman (383 AOW)
Since then I owned several saloons, a mini-van & best of all a mini pick-up in which we went on honeymoon, picking up 2 hitch-hikers in Salisbury taking them all the way to Yeovil. (boy did they get cold in the back!) :)

Quick update.
Watching Sky/How do they do that series over the weekend and saw how they made the Asics trainers.
Having seen these on Ebay I thought the ones I saw in silver looked gimmicky before the weekend. Had a look arround the net today and saw these. Free 2nd class delivery, £2.95 1st class delivery (Makes a mockery of some of the enay sellers and thier charges)
Had a really good chat to the guy from thier shop and he directed me to them, They will only be for indoor use and the car etc. So looking forward to see if they are any good.
According to the Sky programme I saw. Lots of testing, computer modeling. 300 parts to each trainer. Time will tll.
