Top Twenty Driving Shoes

So I saw this and thought I'd share, anything I can do to help add to the experience of owning the car.

Driving mocs and sneaker are nice and all, but rarely come in the 11EE that I need. I'll stick to the 12" Fryes I've worn for 6 years now. I'm waiting for someone to make a taller boot with a rolled driving heel to try out that doesn't look like it should only be worn with a fire suit.

I wear these every chance I get... They're comfortable and work good for my feet and driving:

I have a pair of Adi Racers (brown) that I did a couple of autocrosses in. Great shoes for driving, but they killed my feet when working corners. I just use Converse All-Stars now. The sole is thin enough to have good feel, but I can work a corner without radioing in to ask how many cars are left in the heat.

These are my other pair of shoes that work surprisingly well for driving, and go with the more dressier look at the same time. I really like them almost as much as my Piloti shoes posted above previously.

I like driving in bare feet nice and easy, I don't see the point in driving shoes.

Check out the Puma Speedcats as well. I had friends like them in the past.
