Exclamation # Found a 'driving' shoe - finally - that I love

After several years of buying and wearing supposed 'driving' shoes, I finally found a set that is both comfortable and has a thick enough sole to prevent foot bruises at the track:

http://oakley.com/catalog/colors/mens/footwear/industrial/thirteen_twenty/black_red

By far my favorite shoe.

I must add that the shoe isn't as massive looking as in the Oakley site.
Its quite low and thin looking. Built very well. It should be for $90 -

BTW, they run small - I ususally wear a 9.5 but take a 10 in these.
This is one of those items that, IMO, rank up there with WEVO, Smart Racing, etc in hands down quality. The best so far -

I just picked up a pair of these yesterday at the mall.

www.journeys.com/catalog_detail.aspx?c=guys&s=shoes/Athletic&id=17948

The ones I have are black. I mainly got them because I wanted some black leather shoes but they will also be my new racing shoes. Adidas also makes a high-top version like a more traditional racing shoe.
