Driving Shoes
Anybody use proper driving shoes? I got sick of using my bulky square heeled shoes in my car so I just ordered these:

I think these will be really nice for Sunday drives. Who has experience with driving shoes? Am I making the right choice here?

From the site looks like $110....
they look nice but are a bit pricy for me
these would work just as well.

and your point is?? and Have you ever seen me drive my civic?
I just wear my skater shoes.........Either my BAM V.2's or my Kenny Anderson V.1 made by ADIO. I like them cause the soles are thin and you can feel the racing pedals better. Plus, my shoe's are PHAT!

Can you heel toe shift yet? you ever see that vid of the n/a cars vs the turbo'd cars the N/A mr-s won...but that s2000 driver was amazing..the way he drove.

Rep Power: 0 cool driving but still not enough reason to buy a pair of driving shoes IMO. i dont know much about auto-x but i thought it invloved drifting and a much harder track than that , just what i always thought.

Rep Power: 0 Wow, this thread got alot of replies already I have a second chance to rethink this, I filled out my billing address wrong so the Credit Card didnt go through. I'll rethink it but I will probably go with the Piloti's. They are just damn kickass.
Sheesh anyother one of these people Nah, its cool. Yes I know what Im driving. But pedal dancing with hiking shoes is like riding a speed bike with rain boots. It just doesnt feel right

Rep Power: 0 Zzyzx, nice driving man! I got a question for you though. When going into thoes very tight corners, did you go back into first gear or second? I always have a hard time getting mine to downshift into first. I heard you heel toe it so Im assuming it was second gear but I could be wrong. As you said the video perspective makes it appear slower than reality.

Rep Power: 380 Look on the tongue of the shoe, if there is a tag that says "not flameproof equipped or Nicht Falmmefest ausgerustet" then they are the RepliCats, if they are Flame proof then they are the Race Cats
