Genius plan to distract the customer from the fact that someone that drives around people for the whole day for work is using slippers instead of proper shoes or at least a sandal with back support
what kind of lumbar support does the average boot provide?
lumbar support? I mean the back strap that keeps the sandal firm on the feet
It's illegal to drive in slippers in certain countries, afaik. Slippers can.. um.. slip? Or whatever, they don't offer the same amount of control, that's for sure. Irrelevant 99.9% of the time, but for that 0.01%..
someone that cares about the safety of the car occupants and especially pedestrians. Many accidents are caused by improper footwear interfering with the pedals.
One thing is a tourist driving 10 minutes with slippers to go to the beach, another is a gig worker doing a 10 hours shift
