Vivobarefoot Evo II or Evo III

So underrated, it's not considered a driving shoe. It's for barefoot running to handle the elements.

It looks like they understand the concept of a good driving shoe, but most of their picks from that list is just straight up ridiculous.

The topic is in regard to driving, not going out in public.

Do you even know what "real" driving shoes are? The headline doesn't say "racing shoes" [i.e. fire/crash safety] either, so that implies recreational driving shoes.

I believe Ayrton Senna would be proud of that list, ignoring the awful Piloti's. The best driving shoes are the closest thing to wearing nothing at all, yet still providing some protection or perhaps a better foundation for heel-n-toe.

LoL, they're awesome... They really suit my personality and style... And the final push for me to buy them was that I felt they would work well with driving... And they do! :happy0180:
