Check out the PIC below. I wound up damaging the LHS of a left shoe as shown. It turns out that this happened when that area of the shoe touched a sharp edge on the upper right hand side of the dead pedal during clutch duty. I marked the edge in question with an arrow. It's very easy to file this sharp edge to a round one. Takes like 5 minutes. While I was down there I smoothed out a few more edges and corners too. As Randy has pointed out, this might not be the world's best choice of cars for barefoot driving. No you can't file the pedal edges while seated in the car! Caution: Do not file your pedals while you are driving the vehicle either...
These particular shoes have a thin nylon top with some suede along the sides. The damage didn't occur with one event, it happened over a period of time, and would not occur were my feet properly on the pedals. I don't have large feet either...just 9 1/2 normal width.
