| I had to wear wide width shoes due to my toe being pinched. i was driving a 2005 volvo xc90. a couple of times, instead of applying the brake, the shoe was on the accelerator. the gap between the accelerometer and brake is very little. when i was driving with a non-wide width shoe, i did not notice this problem. this happens almost all the time wearing this one particular shoe (4e wide). *tr | |||
