Speed cats (or other driving shoes)
 

I really loved my Speed Cats, but I can't find size 14 anywhere. Anyone have a recommendation for where I could pick some up, or something comparable?

I just use adidas sambas. They are obviously not purpose built for driving/competition, but they are very similar in construction and comfort to speed cats. The only 'feature' the sambas lack is the rounded heel section.

With my long and narrow (AA) feet, I found that the rounded heel helps a lot in my crowded foot well. Regardless, I'll check those out. Do you know a good place online to order them in size 14? 15 would work, as well, but I can squeeze into 14s.

Looks like Zappos has bith the Drift Cat & Speed cat in size 14.

have you ever used Zappos? they have 14's and 15's

I haven't, but I'll go check them out now. Thanks!

EDIT: Ordered, thanks again!

the only place I know of to get anything larger than 12-13 is zappos. Damn thats a big shoe.

I use Piloti. but their largest US size is 13

This sounds stupid, but check some of the "outlet" stores for these, like TJMaxx, Marshall's etc. I've found some odd-sized Pumas there a few times.

I have, as well. I went to Marshall's and Ross's already, but they didn't have any. :(

I never liked my Speed Cats. The soles were too skinny to get a good heel-toe, and they were so flat my feet would get sore (I have high arches). I'm on my 4th or 5th pair of Adidas Goodyear driving shoes; loved every single pair!

Search "Adidas Adi Racer" and see what styles you like!

Love my Samba millenniums. Never got into speedcats as a shoe that you can just wear around.

Certain Pilotis I like but I've moved on. That's my own personal preference, everyone else here loves them.

Is there any difference between 'Speed Cats' and 'Fast Cats'? Only seeing fast cats on zappos.

Interesting thread you guys got going on.

I just ordered a pair of Alpinestar's directly from them and I have to admit, I love them. They are a little pricey though but I think they are worth it. I have to say the service is also excellent!

They are Tech K-1 Shoes. I also ordered the Tech K-1 Gloves and they are awesome. You don't really need them for driving, but for karting they are great. I love the padding in the gloves. It stops a lot of the vibrations I normally get in my hands while karting.

These are the shoes. They come in 4 colours including: black, blue, red, and white. I got white. They do have a raised heel and a heel cap and the sole is fairly thin. So you really get good feeling through the soles and your heel is protected.
