| Not Ranked : 0 score Puma replicats are pretty good I hear, and cheaper than most, I bought some online when they had a 40 %off deal but they were a little small. Or get some sweet wrestling shoes or something.....vibram five fingers would be good as well. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Believe it or not, I have a pair of Kenneth Cole shoes that are GREAT for driving. Actually, the brand is Unlisted and the shoes are called Quick Wit. The soles are ultra soft and by far the best shoes I have found for heel-toe. These aren't sneakers, but hope this helps anyway.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Puma if you want to cheaply get the "driving shoe" style without the price. The ones that wrap the tread up the heel. Bit narrow for my feet, but not altogether too bad. It's gotta be some sort of sneaker for me. I can manage barefoot, but not at my best. And the worst experience I've had was steel-toe work boots, that was a nightmare; too wide so I kept trying to push two pedals at once, and way too stiff in the ankle so I was all awkward and "Hulk smash pedal!" And barefoot's too far in the opposite direction. Need slightly stiff sole but freedom of movement in the ankles is a perfect shoe for driving for me. Anything else and my clutchwork gets clumsy. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I prefer my DC's, my favorite pair is my DC flat tops because they allow the ankle to move freely and have awesome tread so you're never slipping off the pedal, granted our pedals have grip anyways. I'm also a big DC fanatic and have like 10 pairs so if im not driving to work in my dress shoes i'm wearing DC's... i may be slightly biased haha.

| Not Ranked : 0 score I rock the New Balance Minimus but any minimalist shoe will do. The Minimus uses a Vibram sole, just does not look as gay as the Five Fingers.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Puma Evertracks. Very thin and flexible sole to "feel" the pedals. I need the thin soles especially with the MS3 on/off clutch grab point feel. And having a 34 inch inseam it helps give me another 1/4-1/2 inch more leg room without having to move the seat back any further. I already have the steering wheel all the way out and the driver's seat lifted in front 3/8 inch to provide more thigh support. I wish the steering wheel came out another 1/2 inch. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I'm still learning how to drive a stick and I do far better barefoot. I can feel the clutch catch better, but I have yet to try to drive in my puma's and after reading a few comments here I'm going to give it a whirl. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Dont "learn" to drive in any one thing, every single pair of shoes you wear will make it a slightly different experience, some have softer soles, stiffer arches, its all going to be a little different.

| Not Ranked : 0 score +1 to that. I've been working my way into the minimalist scene for the past 4-5 years, and the NB seem to of found a near perfect balance of comfortable/normal looking/everday wearing/minimalist/driving/running shoe.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Yeah I've got some Adidas with a flat bottom and the rounded bottom and they seem to work well for me, I have some Cole Haans drivers that aren't bad for driving in either. |
