Foot hits the Steering column cover

Does anyone else have this problem? When I move from gas to brake, the toe of my boot hits the steering column cover. I really don't have big feet, so I would think others would have had this happen.

 

when I first got mine I did too. Now I've adjusted to it.

 

I only wear boots every other month or so for a few days at a time, but when I do I hit it. No prob with shoes though.

 

my military snow boots did this. ther are HHUUUGEE!!! i dont wear them much now

 

The steering column plastic shroud seems like a design flaw to me. It's fairly dangerous. When i first got mine, there were a few times that i didn't think that i would stop in time, due to the top of my shoe hitting the shroud and pedal simutaneously. But as the other poster mentioned, you learn to adapt to it.

 

I wear size 15 steel toe boots and I don't remember having any problem with hitting what you're raining about

 

Talking*

 

See pic. Note the black plastic cover inches away from the brake pedal...

 

Yep experience this too. The dinky pedals suck!

 

I'm a size 13, but don't ever recall having this problem even with work boots on.

 

Instead of starting a new thread...I'll just revive this one...

I have size 11.5 US shoes and the tip of my shoe hits the damn plastic cover on the steering column when I switch from gas to brake. Its annoying as all get out, especially so after all the issues Toyota has had with the gas pedals and floor mats.

I have also found that if I lift my foot too far off the gas pedal as I transition to the brake my toe hits some kind of plastic housing hanging down (I stuck my head under there today and it looks like a vent).

Anyone else experiencing this? I've tried pushing the seat back as far as possible to change the angle of my leg, ankle, and foot but the steering wheel only telescopes out so far.

 

Y'alls gots big feet and/or short legs. Never had a problem.

 

can't say that I've hit it but I push the pedals with my toes and not my heel

 

Whatever...just thought I'd throw it out there. I will adapt and overcome. Carry on.

 

you're doing it wrong

 

Never had this problem. Sit further back and shift your foot position slightly lower. The center of the brake pedal should be between your toes and the ball of your foot.

 

Weird. Ive never had this problem wearing work/hunting boots in my truck. I wonder if the 6 speed pedal cluster sits a little different than the automatic pedal clusters?

 

I found my boot would hit the vent that blows hot air to the driver's side foot area so I unclipped it and removed it , 5 minutes , problem solved

 

My biggest issue is using the left foot for braking - damned brake pedal is offset too far and the gas pedal seems like it's buried too deep in the firewall , always catching one foot or the other on either brake or the stupid vent . Will look into chopping or removing the vent outlet , may space the gas pedal out a bit as well .
Best would be to cut the brake pedal pad loose and center it on the arm .
