Driving Shoes

I have seen your shoes. They look very metro sexual and something you would find on Queer eye for the Gay Guy. I'm not a big fan.

 

I used to wear Nike wrestling shoes "Takedown Supreme" red black, but now I'm using Puma racecats black yellow. I think they work too well. The narrowing effect has my feet sometimes sliping between the pedals. Its easier for me to heel toe in my Kenneth Cole's.

 

Check out Alpine Stars.They are available on the Internet in a number of places.They "work" fine in a 360 with a stock pedal set-up,are comfortable{I prefer the low tops},and IMO,look good and are not expensive.

 

Brown & Blue speed cats for day to day...

Black Todds slip ons for date night...

Blue Momo's for the track...

 

I have the puma speedcat. Great for driving, not for walking around. My feet hurt if I walk in them for too long. I don't know how so many people buy these for just regular shoes.

 

Woah, if anyone has not seen the Puma Ferrari future cats, well, they are just awesome. I had previously not found anything that fit my feet, without going to rediculous oversize shoes. I found we have a new "Puma" outlet store at the outlet mall, actually a show store that sold Puma directed me there. I walk in, cute girl asks if she can help. I start to say I was looking for a pai....... And they caught my eye. I ended up getting the MS mid future cat, and while they have to be size 13 to fit me, they were not actually oversized at all. But the red low top future cats, and the yellow, and the black.... mmmmmmmmmm I want another pair. They are really neat looking. I got them for $52, which from looking online was quite a steal. I have to see if they can get a red pair in size 13.

 

If you go on long drives and are willing to change your footwear when you get out of the car, then I recommend racing boots, as in high-top shoes. They are wickedly comfortable and designed for the job you have in mind. Why boots rather than shoes? With boots you tie the laces then use the velcro straps to keep them out of the way so that they can’t hang up on a pedal, unlike laces on shoes. The soles are also made out of a compound that doesn’t slip on metal pedals when oil is present. Lots of companies make them, such as Simpson.

Christmas is coming! Treat yourself.

 

Here is what I wear. It suits my driving style.

asics are also great for driving and are very similar to pumas. Very popular racing shoe in japan.

 

OK, so I prefer wresting shoes. Assics or Nike.

Puma Speed Cats all the way. I have size 13 feet and the pedals in the 355 are very close together. These are the only shoes I can wear in the 355 to drive.

This does not surprise me. Wrestling shoes for driving...

 

Puma Speed Cats for me. They feel right, fit the car's narrow footwell, come in a big selection of colors, and are inexpensive. Lots of stores carry them, and you can always buy through www.puma.com if you wish.

 

I also wear Piloti's. they really are comfortble in and out of the car.

I normally use my Cole-Haan loafers.

I have these for fun but they are fire rated and that's a plus in my book.

Just picked up a pair of Piloti G16's.........wow............ what a shoe! (could not get the Spyder on right because the lace area was so long) But man those G16's are comfortable and light.

(For anyone in the Atlanta area, J3 Motorsports has the full line with most sizes in stock.......same price as you'd see online)

 

or just go to www.piloti.com

 

I have the DTM's and love them. On the track, on long road trips, or in the paddock they are wonderful. I actually think they might be more comfortable than my everyday shoes.
