Towing an expensive boat like that with flip flops on? Indicative of how prepared/detailed he was.

As per MythBusters Episode 184: Driving in Heels driving in high heels is as safe & fast when racing as normal shoes. I can't see flip flops being any less safe than high heels.

I often wear flipflops getting into the driver's seat
but I kick them off and tuck them somewhere they won't bother the pedals for the duration of the drive.
I much prefer barefoot driving, or wearing comfortable shoes without lugged soles.
I have a newish pair of running/walking shoes (Hoka) which have soles that are too wide and they grip the pedals far too well. It's ok in my truck but not in my stick-shift car, which I often side-slip from pedal to pedal.

I always drive barefoot, nephropathy pain in the feet makes wearing shoes unbelievably painful. So bad I cannot even stand to wear socks, so the shoe (whatever it maybe) is kicked off under the seat until I need to get out.

Well, that is a lot better than flip flops. Loose things on your feet can get in the way of safely braking in an emergency.
So can heavy work boots... especially when they are soggy after working in the rain all day. It's not uncommon for me to drive home barefoot after one of those days.

Well, you don't have loose things on your feet when barefoot.

I believe it's illegal to drive barefoot in PA.
I never wear flip flops, crocs, or anything other than proper shoes when driving. "Proper shoes" may be anything from tennis sneakers to loafers. I may wear work boots or loggers when driving my truck, where pedal spacing and foot well room is much better than the car(s). If I'm going somewhere that the boots will be real messy upon return, I throw a change of sneakers in the back seat, to wear driving home.
