Size 10.5 Shoe, Too Big for G35?

Well, I don't think my shoe size is that big, but apparently a little too big for the g35. Does anyone else have this problem? When I try to press the brakes, my toes get caught on the plastic molding that extends down from the dash. I basically have to decrease the angle my foot rests when pressing the brake so it doesn't rub.

Wierd, ive never heard of that. It must be the way you position your feet when driving.

are you humping the steering wheel when you drive? I have 10.5 shoes and I don't even go all the way up on the peddle.

Seriously. I wear a 13 and have no issues.

Do you press the pedal with your heel?

must be the way I just set my feet on the pedal, unless I have some weird overhang on my plastic molding. There does seem to be a little play in it. I tried moving my seat in all different positions to try to make it better, but nothing. Maybe I'll just make a cut out on that piece of plastic.

I used to have that problem on my '92 300ZX and wear 10.5 shoes, but never noticed it with my G35 unless I wear dress shoes with a longer toebox.

I think if you raise the front of the seat to raise your knee, your heel will come back a bit and angle the foot so that it happens less. You'll just have to experiment.
