Default want to move clutch pedal

is there any way to move the clutch pedal over to the left about an inch or so? or is there like an offset pedal assy? reason i ask is normally i drive barefoot, but now that its winter i wear shoes, and find my foot clipping the brake pedal when i shift. its always been a problem with me since i bought my gt vert in 86. so now i've finally asked the experts. i can't be the only one who's thought of this

you could try bending the pedal arm a little to move it over

on my 4cyl pedal set up I removed the clutch pedal and heated it up and bent it a little, but after that it never seemed to feel right, so I eventually put a 5.0 pedal set up in

As someone with 13-14 sized shoes (depending who makes them) I feel you pain. I would pull the pedal out and then cut it about half way down then weld in a piece of 1/2 inch steel plate cut to fit the arm the weld the pedal to the plate at the sock length. This way it will have the same swing to it. 1/2 inch will be very noticeable down around the foot area and keep your foot off the brake.
