Good driving shoes?

[1ntense]

Im looking for some shoes/trainers, well specifically trainers actually that are good for driving in but also look good enough to wear on a daily basis.

Ive been told that the Adidas Goodyear ones are good and I tried on a pair of the Adidas Porsche Design ones today which looked good but not sure what they would be like for driving.

Any ideas?

I've got a pair of Gola Crux in the boot of the car, ignore the garish colours, they are damned comfortable for driving in though

I need to wear driving shoes for work and have just got some Pilotis through the PH shop, they're absolutely superb, very comfortable and don't look out of place.

Puma do some ok shoes.

Check out Kart boots, I have a pair and they are just as good as driving shoes with a little more comfort (personal preference)

I have a couple of pairs of kart boots and they are good for driving but not very comfortable for walking around once you reach your destination. I might try a pair of Piloti as sold in the PH shop http://shop.pistonheads.com/?section=shop&prod...

I have boats size 12 & 13. I like to feel the pedal. I can't drive in boots or trainers.
Just gone from Auto Jag to Manual T5. I just use a pair of leather slippers got them very
cheap of ebay loads there. Its a lot easier if you have small feet say 8, 9, 10. Check out
ebay search driving shoes.

You know what pisses me off?
Plenty of the shoes mentioned are in the £70-100+ range ... despite them costing about £1 to make by kids in China :/

Proper Sparco kart boots as has been mentioned above start from £30

OK I know that was not your point.

Couldn't agree more, this is why I have now hired in a load of immigrants to start making all my shoes and clothes. Damned Chinese paying a whole £1 to make them.

I have a horrendously battered pair of velcro gola trainers with a very thin sole and a ball on the heel, they're just right for driving in. That said I still heel and toe in my chunky safety shoes on the way to and from work...

Comfy though!

I know a fella who refuses to buy anything Nike because of how they're made.

Puma drift cats for me, very comfy and I often wear them all with no discomfort.

Well yes comfy, but there are plenty of shoes that cost £15-25 that are just as comfy.

For instance, taking normal trainers as an example it has not mattered to me whether I buy Puma, Nike, <insert brand here>, or some cheap crap from Lidl ... they always last ~10-12months, and the cheap ones feel just as comfy as the most expensive ones.
I refuse to now pay more than £25 for a pair of trainers as I know they won't last more than a year for me

Brand in 'costs money' shocker.
