The clutch pedal for this car is also too light for thick midsole shoes to have any sort of feel. |

I like Pumas however for heel\toe on the 86 the brake and gas are too far apart so I use my Nike's as they're wide enough so I have my foot on at least half of the brake pedal and not have to use an extreme amount of ankle roll. The 86 is a good candidate for an aftermarket gas pedal that is a bit wider on the left side if you're into a narrower driving shoe.

My 2cents- Skechers CityWalk
Cheap, relatively thin sole that isn't so wide that it snags on everything like most sneakers/running shoes, especially at the heel. Here's a link to amazon, although I recommend shopping around because they're almost always on sale somewhere. https://www.amazon.com/Skechers-City...00MH76UIA?th=1 |

Adidas shell toes ftw.
Or pretty much any adidas classics. Vans would probably work too. Heck, i even bust gnarly heel toe rev matches in my military dress shoes! Hahaha I dont know why people say these cars pedals are far apart. I only wear a 9.5 and have zero problems. But! I had an ae86 and tried some fancy sparco driving shoes. Hated it. I think sparco puma teamed up on those. Circa 2003? Eh, i think just puma. I had sparco gloves. Anyway, adidas!!!!

I've been using these for nearly 2 years, insane feather light weight (not much heavier than a sock) and perfect driving feel with them, better than bare foot!:
Adidas Mat Wizard Think I want to try the Impacts next:

You can find some great driving shoes from Puma. They also are not that expensive at all $40 or less. Just find something with a thin sole and rubber that rides up on the heel. These are mine and I love to drive in them.

These have been great.
I can't wait for the Velox pedal riser to arrive. They'll be even better then. |

I got me a pair of Goodyear shoes. Really light and comfortable. Also the sole looks like performance tire tread:
