not unless you want to splash out on a pedal box, know what you mean though I love driving saxo's but they have ruined pretty much all of my shoes because the brake pedal rubs my foot when I have it on the accelerator

Try driving the automatic saxo,the brake pedal is huge and really close to the accelerator pedal.Made the mistake of putting my foot half and half and ended up drifting round a roundabout(true story)

I bend the clutch pedal and accelerator pedal out about 10mm and try not to wear my skate shoes. I've a pair of Puma Cats and they're the job for driving - https://www.zalando.co.uk/puma-speed-cat-trainers-pu115b00i-q11.html?gclid=CO3m9uL0x80CFbMK0wodaJACtA&size=4&wmc=SEM44_CR_EN_2103106.&opc=2211&ef_id=VkBlzAAAACFFVv@m:20160627093936:s

+1 on that, I bought and used many pairs for that purpose alone. Including a few of these:

That said, I could drive mine with steel toe dickies on.
