Them things are great, I have a pair of the speeds (they have laces, I liked the way they fit the best) and they're probably my favorite shoe to drive in.

They need a driving shoe that has one element...SWAG. I should probably design some swag driving shoes...

I thought this thread died so I guess it has some life left.

Adidas Adiracer for $75 on adidas.com if anybody is interested.

I've tried a few different driving shoes. My current ones are Piloti shoes that I got real cheap at Outdoorsman's Guide (no idea why they had them, but not going to pass up $40 Pilotis). They're nice, lace-to-toe, and comfortable. I think they were closeouts, however.

I've tried Adidas shoes, and they were good. I'd wear out the soles before the uppers.

I've tried Simpson shoes and wore out the uppers before the soles. Not happy with that.

I think I'll try some Pumas next.

I usually wore my converse chuck taylors.. They have good pedal feel.

OrbitalEllipses · 07-31-2012, 01:39 AM

Bump for help me find some shoes.

Requirements:

under $200, the lower the better;
high top, my ankles need support;
great pedal feel;
tight (I hate loose feeling shoes even when properly sized)
available in smaller sizes

Help!

I love my Vibrant five fingers! I have a pair of KSOs, the kind with no tread what so ever... and they are the best. My wife can tell the difference in my driving between them and my sneakers, she has noted that in the vibrams it nearly feels as smooth as an auto.

This thread makes me want to buy more shoes... ugh.

These are my driving shoes. Don't forget the nomex!

jehu · 08-12-2012, 02:56 AM

these are what i most often -and feel most comfortable- driving in:

I heel-toe a lot better in big boots, personally, but maybe thats because I drive a Turbo Diesel hilux.

It's all about the 86 SWAG

But yeah, I have the Puma Cat 'regular' & these:
