Driving Shoes?
 

Hey guys,

I have been thinking of getting some comfortable driving shoes for a while now and was just curious on what people like to wear/look for when buying a good pair?....

If I could find some Sparco Pitlanes in my size(12) I would be all over them.

:chairshot: lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Don't a lot of drivers wear low top boxing shoes or some shit like that?

I wear puma speedcats because I can wear them driving and can also wear them around otherwise comfortably. Sperrys too. So comfortable.

Vibrams five fingers nukka

Pumas

Sperry

I have been looking at Sperrys for some time now also...right now I am wearing some Nike Gato's, I believe they are an indoor soccer shoe but they look good and are pretty thin on the bottom for feel but I want something new.

NikeStore. Shop the Official Nike Store for Shoes, Clothing & Gear

I can't drive with my running shoes on. Absolutely no feel. Rev matching is fun.

Anything with a thin sole should help with pedal feel.

Or, barefoot.


Tapawhat?

my uncle buys me piloti shoes from somewhere, they are pretty good. other than that, pumas are good too

flip flops

I usually take my shoes off. But then sometimes my socks slip on the metal pedals

or the cheaper verison from fila skeletoes,but i usually go bare foot , nothing beats that !

Fuck yeah, thats all I wear

All the shoes I buy are driving shoes. I sometimes go bare foot on road trips, or w/e I'm driving my camry, but here's my favorites currently:

My all around shoes, the specific ones I have are not made anymore, but they are identical to these, cept mine are grey: http://www.shoebacca.com/adidas/o-ty...finder_results

My tracking shoes, extremely uncomfortable for walking, but great heel-toe action: OMP Sport - OMP Sport OS50 Shoes

For when I want to pick up hoes, and still drive fast: adidas Porsche Design CL - Free Shipping, Return Shipping - Your shoe store.

I particularly enjoy the picking up hoes pair... stylin'.

how bout bare fucking feet

who the fuck cares. a shoe is a shoe. you should buy cleats and try and drive with them. drill holes in your pedals to fit the cleat and you wont have any problems. :sucks::gives::headbang:

Flip Flops...

Try rev matching in combat boots...hah..

Either i drive barefoot or with my piloti sebrings

buy some converse niggah...the point of a driving show is to feel feedback from vibes and shit (ya like the drive by wire pedal really gives u a lot of input lol)

but get converse u willl be fine...i drive with 11.5s and looks like a ninja

I have a few different pairs of piloti's. Love em.

well kinda hard to find size 15 shoes that dont look goofy as fuck barefoot or my old ass dc's with worn down soles from driving work

This..... I drive and race in nothing but low top chucks. Inexpensive, durable, and great for pedal feel.

Make that three people for chucks.


Tapayommoma

So true man.

a pair of chucks is the way to go

It ends up being brake gas and clutch all at once lololol

I win in Piloti driving shoes. Your results may vary...

For driving I keep coming back to this

I tried puma and other brands, but in long trips I end up taking them off. So far with these I have been able to do over 10 hours of driving and not feel like my feet are falling asleep. Plus they are not bad looking like other driving shoes I've seen. They offer good heel support, but still thin enough to feel out the pedals. I also have been able to stand and walk all day in them unlike others.

flip flops FTW

left foot bare, right foot flip flop.. until winter anyways.

Pumas FTW

Puma speed cats best shoe for driving and for daily use !!!!ftw

Adidas samba or chuck Taylor slims. No need for expensive shoes...you'll just look goofy and not drive any better.

plus you will drive like brian o'connor !

Wrestling shoes work fine as well and are comfy. At least thats how I justify keeping my old asic split soles around...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^This...^^^^^^^^^^^^^

...or some other Piloti offering...

no idea who that is man

from the fast and the furious movies....

I think you didn't get that comment...

hah apparently not... unless he'd prefer his real name of paul walker ?

[UPDATE]

If you guys are looking an affordable pair of driving shoes, I believe I have found a really good pair.

They are called "Bullet" by Saucony, you can have them for as little as $40.

Just thought I would let everyone know about them.

barefoot ftw

flip flops or converse. lightweight ftw

can't drive in flip flops... always take them off and drive bare foot

These Saucony's are half the weight of the Converse. Amazing.

Puma speedcats all the way.

driving shoes?!?! really? this isnt boxing, lance armstrong bike riding or snowboarding where you need "special shoes". throw on some shoes, or go barefoot and stfu....just drive the damn thing!

i can't drive this car barefoot, the way i let off the clutch i'd skin my feet after a drive. I'm use to letting the clutch slide against my shoe to let off the first few inches.

driving shoes do help though, i got so used to them when i wore sneakers i found my self slowly revving the engine at a light without knowing until i was at 2500rpm lol...

I thought I was the only one that did that. Driving in my belleville boots makes me cringe every time.

what he said.

That's what I was thinking. I drive in Doc Martin work boots, flip flops, cheap tennis shoes, Nike football cleats, ASICS running shoes, hiking boots, Vibram Five Fingers... pretty much whatever is on my feet. Never had any issues or preference.

Lol I do this all the time in my steel toed shoes.

Puma speed cats are nice for driving. Walking, however is a painful affair in them at least for me.

use some finger shoes, BAAAMMM

When I was racing karts I wore wrestling boots. Not wwe style, real wrestling boots.

These are fantastic, especially if you have big feet. Makes heel and toe much easier.

I also drive with 11.5 chucks, must be a power lifting thing.

Just don't try to drive your MS3 with soccer shoes or cowboy boots!!! It's not easy, believe me :)

I really like driving in my pumas, i want to get a pear of pilotis

Oakley Makes some nice ones. I had the white hot laps when I was a valet but you can't walk around in them, they wore out real quick.

i've noticed that too, walking in some of the puma shoes becomes painful cause of the heel and little support in the middle... some arne't bad soccer shoes though for indoor

I hate those shoes with a passion, they make the wearer's feet smell like death as soon as they take em off. Once had a chick come over in em, omg when they were off, biggest turn off ever!

I don't think this is a strange a question as others. I drive best with adidas shell tops.

Wearing running shoes, hiking boots, or dress shoes affects my shifting. But...this is probably because I drive most often in the shell tops.

I prefer to drive barefoot though.

same here. flip flops just fall off my feet or get jammed under the pedals. in the winter i wear birks and take them off to drive... when i end up wearing shoes, shit feels all wrong.

I just ordered a pair of these from Amazon:

Piloti Spa 39.99

Figured I couldnt go wrong for that price.

Almost every pair of nice shoes I own are adidas. Those blue and white ones are SEX. Thanks for the link. I will own them very soon. Unfortuanately, probably before one of your occ kits LOL.

I did buy a pair of adidas because they match my car. I'll see if I can find a link.

Pilotis all the way.

Crocs.

I drive in my finger shoes. Cant find real driving shoes in size 14 with a 4E width.
This was as close as I could find.

Those look more like fins....

I drive in skate shoes all the time, vans or etnies, never gave me a problem. Sometimes reebok running shoes when i go to the gym.

Air Jordan Alpha 1, lightest most comfortable sneaker ever, oldschool style, new school tech.

Skate shoes, Airwalks. If you have money or racing go with Piloti.

Alpine stars.

Honestly... I love driving in my New Balance 574s. Even when they were new I could feel the pedals well enough to out drive most people and they just get better as they wear.
