Yes, you need to take off your shoes. There are height requirements for driving, so you will be asked to remove your shoes for the height measurement. The medical examination items are as follows: 1. Height: For applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses, the height must be above 155 cm. For applying for medium-sized passenger vehicles, the height must be above 150 cm. This is the first step of the driving medical examination. 2. Vision: For applying for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach 4.9 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart.

I just got my driver's license last week, and the physical examination part left a deep impression on me. For the height measurement, we had to take off our shoes. The nurse specifically reminded me about this, saying shoes would add a few centimeters and affect the accuracy of the reading. This is to ensure everyone's examination standards are consistent. I remember waiting in line at the examination center, seeing everyone standing barefoot on the scale while chatting about driving experiences nearby, which gave a strong sense of community. By the way, the vision test also requires serious preparation—many of my friends got stuck because they didn't pass due to nearsightedness. The whole process was quite relaxed, but the small detail of taking off shoes is actually crucial. It ensures your physical condition is accurately reflected, which helps with subsequent driving safety. After all, height parameters relate to seat adjustments and more. Don’t be embarrassed—just take them off boldly.
