Let's talk driving shoes!

[cheezy240]

Emerica Andrew Reynolds 3's there comfy as s***, but mine are worn from skatin before I quit

[Philipio]

I have a pair of these and absolutely love them. The only ACTUAL driving I've done in them is a cannonball run and a track event, but they feel amazing for any kind of driving.

[bersh240]

Emerica mid tops.

awsome board feel.awsome pedal feel.but they wear out in 1 month flat. ive had 6 pairs.

[flohtingPoint]

I have a set of run of the mill Piloti's I use and also a pair of white/blue Kimi Raikkonen Puma's.

Some options to consider:

PUMA by SCHEDONI: http://www.puma.com/schedoni/ http://blogs.motortrend.com/62....html

PORSCHE DESIGN:

Too small is a possibility tho.

And even then all you do is screw a wider pedal on. Easy fix.

It took me a while to get used to heel/toe in the 240sx since the pedals are closer together than anything else I'd ever driven but I manage just fine after a bit of practice.

EDIT: And right now I'm sporting some Adidas trail runners because I have them.

[cheezy240]

Yea mine wear out fast to, bu my Emerica The Hsu's lasted a long a** time and I skated in those everyday

[Chaotic_Warlord]

i drive barefooted

You guys realize that that is illegal right? If you get pulled over the officer has the cognizance to notice that you are driving with no shoes on you can get that fine tacked on to the one you got pulled over for. I believe it's akin to a reckless driving charge.

Personally I have a pair of Tony Hawks that I picked up for $40 @ Kohls that work just fine for me, they are pretty much the same as the older Etnies. Even on long trips I keep my shoes on, sure the dogs get all stinky but I don't have to fumble around to put my shoes on when I have to stop for bathroom breaks or gas.

I've considered on picking up a pair of real driving shoes, but I'd feel like a dork walking out of the house with them on just to go for a spirited drive.

[ThatGuyRoger]

I don't have a dedicated pair of "driving shoes", but I do have these, and I love them for driving.

Adidas Sambas

Sambas FTW! They are a really comfortable shoe, I wear them daily and also when I get the chance to play indoor soccer. I want to get another pair in a different color

[Koshin]

I wear Crocs. Three pairs actually. Comfortable and stylish in any situation.

thats why you crash into people....

I didn't know they made driving shoes - I used to buy them for my kid when he was racing BMX (great clipless pedal shoes).

they make them...

check them out on our website

Some options to consider:

Not sure which is gayer - These or the Crocs.

It's a tie.

[AZhitman]

My kid wore the Dominator version of these... Thank God he was sponsored, we didn't have to pay for them... I think he had 4-5 pairs.

http://www.sidiusa.com/sidi/mo....html

I don't see anything they make that would qualify as a good driving shoe, though...

[Koshin]

Greg, I cant find a pic of these shoes anywhere. I will snap a pic of them when I get home. I actually have never seen another pair in the States. I bought them from the Dealer Expo back in '07....from the SiDi booth

They are very similar to their Vertigo Corsair race boots (except lacking some of the buckles and support like the boots and obviously a low top version), those are the boots I race in.

[BusyBadger]

I don't see anything they make that would qualify as a good driving shoe, though...

They make a general athletic shoe, mainly for sponsored riders to wear (hopefully on the podium) when they're not clipped in but still be seen with a pair of Sidis on their feet.

[ScrapMetal]

I own a pair of Simpson Chicanes.



They're great for driving and they're comfortable for normal everyday activities, like hanging off a swing...

[AZhitman]

I like the Chicanes. Good choice!

[ScrapMetal]

Thank you sir

[flohtingPoint]

Hmm, a simple web search parsed the fact that you can get my Kimi Raikkonen Puma's for rather cheap.

http://www.pumashoesoutlet.com....html

I have the white/blue ones, cept mine are size 13 (cant buy those anymore).

[Koshin]

size 13...

[Mr1der]

why they gotta hate on us bigfooted bastards?

I <3 Chuck Taylors...but that's cuz I wear my life one quarter mile at a time.

[flohtingPoint]

size 13...

lol, yea. I wish my foot was smaller though. If I could fit into a 12, I would snatch up 2 or 3 more pairs of these Raikkonen's right now as I love these shoes. I guess I'll have to wait till Puma makes size 13 Fernando Alonso's.

are these shoes narrow, or they kind of wide? I have a wide foot

[Koshin]

I have no feet, imagine trying to heel-toe

[flohtingPoint]

Yea I have massively wide feet and these shoes took a little breaking in. They're no narrower than your run of the mill piloti, but they will take a day or two to form to your foot correctly. Other than that, they're awesome shoes and I use these exclusively on long auto-x days or HPDE weekends, as I need something with a ton of comfort for long periods of time.

[tigersharkdude]

are these shoes real? alot of the shoes that are there are fake

[tigersharkdude]

im trying to find something to wear for my drive to and from school, as the total drive time is nearly 2 hours

[flohtingPoint]

I dunno, I just did a search for Raikkonen Puma. My shoes look like those and I bought mine in Italy while visiting family in 2k8, so mine were more expensive, but the shoe is also outdated. The shoe was made to commemorate Kimi Raikkonen's World Championship with Ferrari in 07.

Floht -

I wish I had known... The local Ross Outlet store had a crap-ton of Piloti shoes in size 13 for like $15 / pair for a LONG time.

Too big for me.

EDIT: HOLY HELL. If that site is for real, I am SO buying you a beer. Those prices are insane.

LOL, I would have bought the whole store! Proper size 13's that fit well are never easy to find, but Piloti's (after a bit of walking around) fit like a charm.

[tigersharkdude]

just got the felipe massa pumas in blue and white from here. read around real fast, and the site says everything is 100% authentic http://www.eshooes.com/advance...0&y=4
