Piloti driving shoes
Discussion
As above and as I said before, if you are inclined to heel toe and roll your feet on and off the pedals in an attempt to be smoother with the controls(which takes constant practice) then your footwear can make a difference to it.
Onitsuka Tiger Mexico are good to drive in, give plenty of feel and are very comfy, but the square edge of the soles isn't ideal.
A rounded sole edge is better.

I've just bought a pair from the new importers at www.piloti.uk.com
They are also available from Demon Tweeks.

bizarre thread - though i recall being admonished here for driving and riding motorbikes in flip flops and also barefoot - not for any weightsaving or 'feel' etc just that was what happened to be on my feet
to have a special pair or to actually go out and buy shoes for driving a road car??????
do the 'speedcats' have lights in the sole like other kids' shoes?
how about gloves and a race suit etc etc
maybe a teddy bear for when your co-driver is unavailable?
Not for a normal road car , but the puma speedcats make driving my caterham so much easier and therefore more enjoyable , they really do make a difference to have a special pair or to actually go out and buy shoes for driving a road car??????

Their £225 loafers look identical to my £65 DUNE loafers. They are also available from Demon Tweeks.

I have pairs of blue and grey Piloti Protitipo and am really pleased with them. Super comfy casual sued trainer-ish sort of thing, that happen to be more suited than most from driving.
As a motoring enthusiast, I don't think that's wrong?
I need shoes, so like this footwear, with a nod towards functionality.
It's not the same a string backed driving gloves etc
