My B does have power brakes, but the brake booster isn't hooked up.
One of these days, I'll have to look at why the PO disconnected it,
but I haven't gotten enough round tuits to do the job. As you would
expect, the pedal force requirements are fairly high.
I'm currently wearing Nike trail running shoes, lots of sole, stiff,
but low cut. They work great for walking, riding, running,
whatever... except driving.

I suspect it hasn't been an issue because I've always had shoes with
stiff soles, so I don't want to give up one pain for another.
Do the wrestling shoes mentioned earlier have pretty stiff soles?
