I asked this question a while back considering I'm into kicks. Considering what I've heard, Pumas and Onitsuka Tigers are heavily favored. I really like the Onitsuka Tigers Ultimate 81 and I've also got into wearing New Balance. I like New Balance because I can wear for driving and casual use. New Balance=Because Takumi. |

Same here. Not a driving shoe per se but afford me excellent feel and control...and they always look great with jeans. I'm low top only though. Sent from my StarTrek communicator using Tapatalk

+1 on Pumas. The Puma Racer Carbons I just got are amazing.

I like skateboarding shoes. The Puma driving shoes are too narrow for heel / toe shifting as the pedals are too far apart.

Best $100 I spent on footwear for shooting/hiking/climbing. Not so great for driving (doable, but you do have to get used to the numb feeling and judge throttle input by engine sound and tach movment alone, not by pedal feel as well). Honestly, my low top converse were NOT good driving shoes. I do best with a mid to high top shoe. Chucks with their unsupported sole DO hurt after a short while, but put in some athletic insoles and they become fantastic driving shoes. I've been daily wearing/driving my cream hi-top chucks for about a month now with those insoles and have had NO problems with comfort and pedal control is nice and direct for driving.

I also vote Pumas (or similar motorsport influenced shapes). I've also used some skate shoes that have a flat bottom and square edge that worked pretty well, but i still prefer the Pumas by a large margin.
Whatever shoe you end up with, it should have a thin sole (for feels) and a predictable shape that usually either A- follows the contours of your foot, or B- has a flat bottom with square edges. I've found shoes/boots with stiff/thick soles are the hardest to drive with, as well as running shoes with the bulged heel and big bulky knobs everywhere. |

I don't find the Beacon Trainers thick at all. I've had Pumas etc being discussed as well.
