The Pedal Laboratory

Savannah has brought an assortment of shoes to the laboratory to see which ones maximize her comfort and control of the pedals of the laboratory pumps. She begins by working each of the pedals in a pair of cutaway high-heeled pumps, then moves on to a pair of medium-high wedge-heeled T-strap sandals, then a pair of flat thong sandals, then a pair of strappy flip-flops, then finally, she works the pedals barefoot. Which will she prefer? There's only one way to find out!

The Lab is building a new driving simulator, and Sadie has been assigned the task of testing the real car pedals that have been attached to sensors to interface them to the computer. She's wearing some very flexible thong sandals with a low wedge heel, which allow her toes to flex to the maximum degree, and she has the driver software up, which allows her to set the sense limits of each pedal, and see the response from all of the controls. For each pedal, she first keeps her foot completely away from it, and presses "set minimum." Then she uses her toes to mash it as far down as it will go, and holds it there while pressing "set maximum," and further waiting for it to finish sampling. Then she gives it several full-travel presses to verify response. All of this works perfectly for the accelerator and brake, but unfortunately, the clutch gives no response, even after several ties. She suspects a bad electrical connection, which she will report. Once it is repaired, we'll see who the lucky lady is who gets to test the complete system.

Indica has brought an assortment of shoes to the laboratory to see which ones maximize her comfort and control of the pedals of a stickshift car. She is joined today by Sunshine, who helps to document the proceedings and provide a second observer. She begins by working each of the pedals barefoot, then moves on to a pair of flat thong sandals, then a pair of closed toe flats, then an unusual pair of flat thong sandals with an additional cross-strap, then some simple cross-strap sandals with a low wedge heel, and finally, some high-heeled pumps. Which will they prefer? There's only one way to find out!

Nyssa has brought an assortment of shoes to the laboratory to see which ones maximize her comfort and control of the pedals of the laboratory pumps. She begins by working each of the pedals barefoot, then moves on to a variety of sandals. Which will she prefer? There's only one way to find out!

Bellah Dahl has brought an assortment of shoes to the laboratory to see which ones maximize her comfort and control of the pedals of a stickshift car. She begins by working each of the pedals in a pair of flat-heeled thong sandals, then moves on to some elegant high-heeled sandals, followed by a pair of unusual low-heeled sandals, and finally, a pair of simple thin-strapped sandals with a low wedge heel. Which will she prefer? There's only one way to find out!

She begins by working each of the pedals in a pair of medium-heeled wedge T-strap sandals, then moves on to a pair of strappy sandals with a nearly flat heel, then a pair of sneakers, then a pair of simple sandals with a low wedge heel, then a pair of flat-heeled thong sandals, and finally, she works the pedals barefoot. Which will she prefer? There's only one way to find out!

Bailey has brought an assortment of shoes to the laboratory to see which ones maximize her comfort and control of the pedals of a stickshift car. She begins by working each of the pedals barefoot, then moves on to a pair of very open high-heeled sandals, then some more boot-like high-heeled sandals, some strappy "gladiator" style sandals with a flat heel, and finally, some thong sandals with a flat heel. Which will she prefer? There's only one way to find out!

The Lab is building a new driving simulator, and Summer has been assigned the task of testing the real car pedals that are about to be attached to sensors to interface them to the computer. She's brought along four pairs of sandals - two each high and low-heeled, and uses them to mash the pedals all the way down, assess their resistance and placement, and generally give it a "dry" test run. While the brake is a little disconcerting without its load cell to limit travel and simulate hydraulic pressure, the accelerator and clutch are very realistic. Keep checking back with us to follow the progress as the simulator takes shape!
