Dang Kas, I thought this was going to be an easy fix. I guess the
Velcro I was going to put on the gas pedal and Susan's shoes won't be

It also looks like any sort of spray on solution had better be used as a
last resort considering how hard it would be to remove.
Thanks for the insight on the heal and toe issue.
