Shoes can cause shifting and launching problems.
We've all read where some members have a hard time shifting and miss gears. Well if your wearing the wrong shoes that could be the problem.
I wear Simpson racing shoes with a thin sole so I can feel the clutch and the pedal better.
Last week I saw a friend who was wearing some "running shoes", looked like blocks of rubber on his feet and he really had a hard time with the small pedals and missed gears several times. Not to mention he over staged twiced.
He was bitching about his clutch and I looked at his feet and said go barefoot this run and see if you do better. Anything is better then 2" of rubber between your foot and the pedals so you can feel what' the car. He did and ran a mid-12 in his 02 Z06. Came back with a smile and said your right, it's the shoes.
Hope this helps those who are having shifting problems. Just thought I'd mention it as many people overlook this problem.
