Driving Shoes
 

Now that Piloti has gone belly up, What are the choices in a good driving shoe ?
I can only find the Puma Motorsport shoes, they seem to be Ferrari branded.
Went and tried on a pair of the Puma's something cat ?
Not as comfortable as my Pilotis

I would think that the various "barefoot" style shoes would give the feeling to be a goos driving shoe.

I've seen ads for driving mocs Men's Deerskin Driving Moccasins by Minnetonka. Are these good?

The Herrington catalog has many driving shoes, and some of them look like they might do the job. They are very proud of them.

Been happy with my OMP shoes.

For the Ferrari:
Car Shoe - The original driving Car

For the Porsche:
Converse.com | Chuck Taylor Sneakers & Design Your Own Converse Sneakers

I have Pumas. There are several different lines they make and they all fit differently. I would try a couple different ones. I buy mine from Zappos.com. They are free shipping both ways so order a couple and keep what what you like.

driving shoes...
 

Ths set of Minnetonka's that I have are comfy for driving but not much support for walking. Adidas sells a Porsche branded driving shoe (bought on Eb*y) that is comfy all around.

Lots of companies, including Porsche offer driving moccasins. They cost around 400.

Piloti style shoes? Who knows.... Does Simpson make a street version?

wrestling shoes

I have a pair that I occasionally use. They look horrible, but feel great.

See if No Fear still makes them? I have a set I bought back in 1998 or so and they are kevlar/aluminized high tops that were super nice.

I love the line of addidas driving shoes...

Car and Driver had these in a special review section and I bought a pair. Not bad for driving but the moose skin is too soft and pliable for walking, IMHO. I would not DE in them for sure.

When did Piloti go away?

Alpine Stars, Oakley, Sparco and several others companies all make racing/driving shoes.

I don't think I have to worry about needing shoes for a while, when Piloti shoes showed up at Ross for $19 a pair, I picked up multiple pairs, hell $20 for shoes is cheap.

I'll second the Puma recommendations. Plenty of selections in non-Ferrari liveried driving shoes. You can check them out on Zappos. They run a little bit narrow, though.

I've also used wrestling shoes.

And don't forget Addidas Sambas; comfortable for walking around in, too.

+1 on the wrestling shoes.

I also have a pair of Diadora Formula mid top racing shoes thats ive had for years. love them.

I like mine on hot days, but not made at all for walking around in once you get there. The little rubber nibs wear down easily and you can get blisters walking too much in them.

I have several pairs of Converse, but would like to get yet another pair, the thin soled ones look promising.
