Piloti driving shoes

[itcaptainslow]

I'm after a pair of Piloti driving trainers to replace my Puma Speedcats, however I'm struggling to find any. Demon Tweeks list some but display no price or availability, and a quick search proves fruitless.

Can anyone suggest where I can get some and also any alternatives that are well liked?

I'm looking for something more trainer like rather than those, nice as they are. I'm after something that can be worn casually after going somewhere in the car as well as driving it.

Speedcats are good but I find the soles just not wide enough for heel & toeing in the Elise.

Searching on eBay has turned up a few pairs but in silly sizes (5's and 6's) where I'm a 10-11, so I think it's going to be a case of being patient

Looks like I'll stick with the Speedcats then, cheers guys quite a few people have said similar things about the Piloti's.

So as another person has mentioned, do people actually buy special shoes for driving a road car on the road? And I mean specifically for driving the car.

If so please can you tell me why?

My Elise yes, the daily, no. When I drive the Elise its for pleasure, so anything to help the your "contact points" with the car is a good thing. The Elise also has fairly dainty pedals so something with thin soles helps, especially for heel & toe.

If I'm just driving the daily to work, then I wear what I go to work in, which happens to be a pair of employer issue safety shoes. You simply cannot drive the Elise in these as they're way too chunky.
