Driving shoes?

I know a few of you guys use them....
Any recommendations & local sources?

I found some that really look good, but it's a PITA trying to find them.

I like the looks of the Piloti Prototypo (many colours)
- nice spherical heel & a good side flange for downshift throttle.

.
.
AFAIK Pfaff tuning is the only place that carries Piloti up here.
problem is they don't carry much stock & won't get them untill June at the earliest
- can order online, but who knows, with shoe sizes.

i have speed cats and they are fine, more people rock them as everyday shoes but they feel nice to drive in just becuase the thin sole lets you really feel the pedals and they are tight on the foot and not cumbersome in the pedal area, i justttt bought those piloti's for a friend for his birthday and he says they are comfortable as fawk and reall nice to drive in, get those bad boys off line took 3 days for mine to get here, $85.00

i have those piloti's and theyre awesome (actually that exact same color). the speedcats were too narrow for heel toe. i highly reccomend the piloti prototipo since the heel is rounded and the front of the shoe is slightly wider.

if you want more shots of it from different angles let me know. i can do a side by side comparison with my speedcats.

+1 for pumas. Most puma's have a thin sole. I love driving with them. They even carry sizes up to 16 I'm a 14/15 depending on the shoe and almost all puma's fit like a glove.

My buddy swears by Sparco racing shoes, but they're pretty expensive.
