Meh! I am not a racer. I like comfortable shoes that are good for driving, walking and that look good.

I wear walking boots for walking, racing shoes for driving, and trainers to look good.
Just makes more sense to me.

I have a pair of these. Not a dedicated race boot obviously, but great combo driving/comfort/casual shoe.

Oh man! She was good, Nancy with the laughing face. I loved how Tarantino used her song Bang Bang in Kill Bill.

I've been on the fence about buying a pair of Piloti's, but they are having a sale on their website right now. I used this code to get an extra 10% off when I checked out: SPECIAL10

Pumas are a great alternative if you want something that can also just be worn everywhere. They also have themed shoes for their Motorsports shoes. Like they have Porsche branded shoes. Unfortunetly i think their BMW M shoes look the best. But the other great thing about Puma's is the price. Most of the shoes sit around the 90$ range vs Pilotis which are around 200$.

I love my Piloti's but as i have flat feet, once i do any sort of walking in them, i get really bad feet pain.

They have better sales than that from time to time. They were bombarding me with emails with 60% off a few months ago. They're great shoes for $100 but not sure about $200.

My forefoot is wide and I didn't realize they ran narrow, so I ordered a pair about a year ago. I simply can't wear them. They look nice and seem like they would be great for people with narrow feet.

Pilotis are a little narrow. I liked my first pair so much that I bought another. Leather is very soft and they are very comfortable for my narrow bony feet. Great for long drives with cruise on. They are not bulky so I can rest my right foot under the brake pedal. 200 bucks is not that much for a good pair of shoes.

I just bought a pair of these Goodyears. Nice shoe and light, but not very flexible and the sole isn't much thinner than some conventional sneakers I've had. Anyone try Puma Speedcats?

I actually JUST ordered some SpeedCats yesterday as they were on sale for 1/2 off. They should arrive in about a week or so, i'll report back once i wear them.

I always liked the onitsuka tiger serrano for driving but looks like they are not sold in the usa anymore. Weird. Anyway great pedal feel and the black/white one look good.

Im definitely piloti curious though. I’ll check them out.
