They are very nice

[ZOLLAR]

The speed cats I bought last year are still pretty much mint
Only worn them about 4-5 times for driving.

Those blue ones are nice!

The Puma store in the Swindon outlet village have a few of these in stock.

I bought some BMW Motorsports branded ones to drive my Boxster S - Go figure, but there are Mercedes McLaren branded ones too. I got mine for less than £40.

Perfect for driving in.

Mine have actually stood up fairly well. I've worn them pretty much every day since I bought them last October. Sole tread is begining to wear slightly but is nowhere near worn through, the white stripes have a grey tinge to them but still look great.

Are the Drift Cats any good? Have an urge for a new pair after seeing this thread again.

Just a heads up. The Puma store has up to 50% off + 20% extra.

Ended up with a pair of Drift cats for £36 delivered.

Ah the only ones I want are in small sizes

The navy ones are great but only go up to 7.5

[Birdster]

I wanted those blue reflective ones that were mentioned earlier in the thread but not available in a size 10, as you say. Still happy with the white ones for the price.

Driving trainers? I can't help but think of this.....

I mean... plenty of folk cut about in football, basketball or running trainers with no intent to do any of those tasks, what's wrong with wearing a driving trainer when you might actually be wearing them to drive? The way the sole curves up can actually make accelerator control more comfortable.

There’s a nice pair of pink 7.5’s on eBay



I still have my blue size 11’s that are now about 15 years old - too precious to wear out of the house now - they make lovely slippers

[dom9]

Picked up a pair of white (far from my first choice but the good colours seem out of stock) Drift Cat 5s (I think).

The ones with lots of holes in!

Still got an unworn pair of grey suede ones that I can't bear to wear (ruin).

How do drift cats comepare size wise to speed cats?

I was between sizes in the speed cats and wondered if I’d have the same issue with drift cats?

Also, as a shoe, the Puma Drift/Speed series were really, really comfortable out and about!

Yes they are. Maybe we should petition the company to bring them back!

Best driving shoe is





And we all know Reebok have racing heritage



And Lewis wore them in 2012

In a Caterham they're almost a necessity. I have Speedcats in leather and suede, both plain dark brown, so nicely understated. I'd love to see them back in production.
