I had to wear wide width shoes due to my toe being pinched. I was driving a 2005 Volvo Xc90. A couple of times, instead of applying the brake, the shoe was on the accelerator. The gap between the accelerometer and brake is very little. When I was driving with a non-wide width shoe, I did not notice this problem. This happens almost all the time wearing this one particular shoe (4e wide).
