Abstract: A foot support device of a vehicle has a foot support plate. The foot support plate is pivotably fitted to a foot space on a floor of the vehicle. A support device is arranged between a lower side of the foot support plate and the foot space on the floor, and contains at least one support element to introduce a force, which is applied to the foot support plate into the foot space on the floor. Via the at least one support element, below a predetermined force threshold value there is provided, for the force applied to the foot support plate, a force introduction path that, when the force threshold value is reached or exceeded, is substantially completely eliminated by reversible form change of the at least one support element.
