Driving Shoes?
Who uses what for driving shoes? Whether it be for SCCA, Track days, or just some twisties. I wear converse old school low tops, i like em, good feel and pretty comfy as long as your not on your feet too long. kinda odd ? just curious though.

Puma, the unofficial Evo driving shoe
They are not real driving shoes, but when you have 4E monkey feet like me you need something to squeeze your feet so you only push one pedal at a time
Not super comfortable just walking around though, and not fire resistant so gonna have to ditch them when I get my comp license

Pilotis, Pumas, Oasics or Sparcos are all good shoes. For street I use Pilotis or Oasics while at the track I use a set of Sparco Super Speedways.

If you track enough, it is worth the couple hundred it will probably cost for real shoes. If not, then the pumas or similar should be fine
If you get real driving shoes, just remember they are designed for driving, not walking. If you walk around in them too much, they will fall apart

+1, real driving shoes are not for walking at all.

Really? Hadn't heard that, but, Puma did sponsor an EVO at one point. I built an RC Car that won a National Concourse competition based on that Puma EVO.
And, ironically, a very similar scheme to my current rally car livery.
