Driving Shoes
So I was watching Initial D and noticed Takumi wore New Balance shoes for driving. I think shoes are important part of driving. Some people like lightweight and comfortable professional shoe easy for heel-toe and some just wear regular trainers. I was just wondering what shoes you wear when you drive? I wear red puma drift cats but I'm trying to find other shoes that are great for heel-toe.

black puma drift cat
they get pricier as the quality goes up. That's for certain. I saw a pair of Asics go for >$500.

Back in the days, I used to wear my old Asics wrestling shoes since driving shoes were expensive.

Shoes is important... but I don't think Ayrton Senna didn't care which shoes he was wearing, cuz he sure was going hella fast w nice fashion shoes

i just wear whatever stuff ive got on - i dont swap to driging shoes if im wearing stuff really, I'll just not heel-toe if it's hard in certain ones, like going out boots and posh stuff. i wear skate style shoes sometimes - adidas, dc etc. Sometimes Converse, Timberland boots...
but these are my every day shoes:  Bit of a geek  if im going to be serious ive got a pair of these:  they have rubber up the back of them for heal grip on the mats

Great for feel, not so good for heel toe (not really necessary for autoX) Normally I use Puma Race cats. |

I daily drive barefoot, thankfully I live in Florida where I can wear flip flops 10 months out of the year. Piloti RSR when SFI ratings are required.
