Maybe its just me

Every now and then my size 15 sneaker gets in the way when working the gas/brake pedal. To me the pedals seem a lil more close together than other manuals Ive owned. Does anyone else have this problem?

I wear size 15 also and don't really have an issue with gas and brake more the cluch not releasing evenly. Try different tilts with your right foot. Mine is at about a 45 deg angle with the tip of my shoe on the gas then I can rotate around and it works well that way.

I just realized that a certain pair of nike shoes I have are wider than my other sneakers. Im sure thats where the "every now and then" problem is arrising from

Not close at all. Im 6'3" so its pretty much all the way back I keep the seat at an upright position. I have no issues with the clutch, just the gas/brake at times
