That's an excellent point that hasn't been mentioned yet. The first thing I did with all students was to have them remove their shoes. Barefoot (or in socks, usually) gives the best "feel". Racing shoes have a very thin sole (1/8"?) with no padding, and are rather uncomfortable to walk in, but are great for feel.
