It depends on the car. It really didn't matter with my old 96 Civic. That had a mechanical throttle cable and took real movement of the pedal to change the throttle. My new Fit has drive-by-wire throttle and is much more sensitive.

I have always kicked off my shoes for longer trips. I may start doing so on short trips now.
