Piloti makes great driving shoes, they are very tight, as small as possible, and have grip on the bottom that is like a Z rated tire, great for heel and toe

i do too, Puma Speed Cat M's


....they feel nice, very light. they are good for long classes too. apparently some M3 race team and the official Ferrari team uses some version of them....that is not why i like them though, they are just comfortable and they look great (goes great with jeans, I have 5 differnt colors of them)


oh, they also have that tread that looks like the Z rated tires...i think its for looks though

Of course there are. Being the sad person I am I do own a pair. They are branded with the ferrari name, however i'm not sure if they are made by ferrari. (They were a gift.) I wear them when I occasionaly get to test drive my neighbors new cars he gets in to the dealership.

Driving a Ford GT (not a mustang gt) with driving shoes and without is a totally different expierience.

Driving shoes are not bulky or heavy. They are very light weight and tight fitting. Making it easier when shifting, heal-toe, and a more comfortable ride overall.

the ones that i have are really really really light. i remember the first time i ever got a pair, i would be sitting in class and then suddenly think that my shoes were off (i never take my shoes off in public, i think it is weird). they also are tight fit, but still very comfortable. they have barely any foot support, so if you are old or something, dont think of getting them. also, they are terrible for working out because the support issue (and the rubber of the shoe is less them 1/3in so it feels like you are running on the ground dirctally, so pretty much they are for the looks and the light feel


ps. driving gloves are gey
