Footwear Policy

Safety is our top priority for both our students and other drivers. To ensure the safe and effective operation of a vehicle, novice drivers are required to wear appropriate footwear during driving lessons. Improper footwear can hinder a driver’s ability to operate pedals safely, increasing the risk of accidents. Fully enclosed, sneaker-like shoes are mandatory for all lessons. 

Required Footwear Guidelines

1. Full Closure: Shoes must fully enclose the foot, providing proper support and stability.

2. Well-Fitting: Footwear should fit snugly, without being too tight or too loose, to ensure complete control over pedal movements.

3. Closed Toe and Closed Heel: Open-toe or open-heel footwear (e.g., sandals, flip-flops, or high heels) is strictly prohibited, as it can interfere with safe pedal operation.

4. Flat Sole: Shoes must have a flat, non-slip sole for consistent contact with the pedals. High heels or excessively thick soles compromise pedal control and are not permitted.

Examples of Suitable Footwear
• Athletic sneakers
• Flat, closed-toe casual shoes
• Low-profile, sturdy boots

Footwear to Avoid
• Sandals, flip-flops, or slippers
• High heels or platform shoes
• Loose, oversized, or ill-fitting shoes
