I have a pair of Nike indoor soccer shoes, I find those work great whether they are Puma, Nike, or Adidas.

Oh boy, another Lotus driver assuming he's the only person who know what racing is and or is qualified to speak of such topic. Yes I know what racing shoes are lol. Any other silly questions or assumptions our highness?

I have a slightly older pair of the Adi Racer Low. I absolutely love them! I'm on my 3rd or 4th pair of the Adidas/Goodyear shoe line. I had Puma Speedcats too, but the soles have zero arch support and they're too skinny for good heel-toe maneuvers.

I think I'm getting these next - Feroza Elite:

That list is a joke!

I have a pair or Speedwells (no longer sold in the US ) and an old pair of Puma Rally Cats that need to be replaced. My next pair might be the Alpinestars Tech 1-K or something Puma.

Those of you that think running shoes or skate shoes are "driving shoes" need to try some real driving/racing shoes, you will be pleasantly surprised. Good driving shoes have a thin sole, rounded heel, snug fit, and are very flexible. They usually aren't good for everyday use or for walking around... The shape goes a long way toward predictable foot placement; no flanges or edges on the sole.

Yeah, Speedcats are my favorite. And I've tried a few different kinds.
