WTB old school piloti kicks
there was a pelican link posted some years ago to these & few other piloti shoes on clearance for a song. I got these & a set of the nomex mid ankle style and wore the freak out of them. looking to see if anybody has a pair in 9.5-10 that they's wife won't let then wear anymore or jus sitting deep in a closet gathering moths... id like to consider buying them since they are no longer available & for incentive considerations I have an original Jack Olsen 04 group buy PELICAN PARTS TECH BBS long sleeve xl shirt in gray I would include as a bonus in addition to payment... the shirt has <30 washes on it & a seam coming loose on one of the cuffs........ what ya got?

I have a pair from that buy years ago... size 10.
Only worn a handful of times.... my feet are much to wide for these to be comfortable on me. ![]()

Join the crowd...I have a pair that are by far, the BEST fitting shoes I have ever owned. I love those damn shoes and have worn the crap out of them. They are regulated to garage duty and have holes in the soles but every time I put them on, they still fit like a glove.
I watch ebay like a hawk for more but they are getting more and more rare. I could have bought 10 pair back when they were on sale and I had I known Piloti would go out of business, I would have. I'm size 13 so no competition here ![]()

I bought a couple pair on the pelican deal. Still have both sets. Very comfy but the soles have dried out and are very slick. Anybody else have this issue? Piloti is back in biz under new ownership. Some execs from Canadian Tire (think a Canadian Fred Meyer) bought the brand and are relaunching a few models. Expensive I think but if you have to have em....

![]() One of my friends asked why I was buying so many, I replied, at this price even if I only used them in the yard it was a deal, and at my age, not like my shoe size is ever going to change.

Got two pairs, the OG ones in the blue/black/yellow and the all black ones. Both are the Nomex and very little use. They're size 9 though......

I had a pair from the way back machine ... they were super cool .
Decided to use them for a sunday drive . I drove about 50 miles and stopped for lunch, and when I got out of the car the soles fell off . time had disintegrated the foam / glue between the shoe and the sole . I still didn't want to give up on them .. after wiping off some odd foam . I thought "hey, cool booties" the trail of black muck I left is the restaurant was comical. tried cleaning off all of the "stuff" for slippers ... eventually gave up Just saying . if you go old . either look at them or do a walk for a bit and check them out.

I wore them a half dozen times maybe...
My feet are like flippers on a seal or walrus.... wide and apparently webbed... Those kicks never felt good on the few times I wore them Enjoy!!
