The Piloti's are decent for autocross/casual driving. Any track use (which lately has only been w2w) I use the race boots/shoes, unless I'm lazy, then I use whatever I was wearing at the time..

I ordered a pair this morning and just received an email stating that they are canceling my order, due to "out of stock" in my size (10).

I've looking a for deal like this. They got to be better than my Chuck Taylor's. The only thing I'm leary about is the fit. Is a 10 1/2 a 10 1/2?

I have the Prototipos in blue but paid full price from another seller. Reading the comments in your link, it's just totally amazing how there can be such a huge difference in the experience of previous customers. There are enough that have had problems that I won't take a chance giving them my cc number. Thanks for checking.

The 10's I bought fit by 10 size feet well.

I ordered a pair of Piloti Prototipo size 10 last night, had confirmation last night, and rec'd confirmation that they shipped today. Shipping was $8.49.

I'll post when/if they arrive.

Prefer Pumas - replicats make great daily driving shoes

Yeah, those do look nice, and Puma is cool, German brand, right?

I love the feel with Vans skate shoes, nice width and good feel for heel & toe.

$50-$75 is typical

Plenty on EBAY and through online shoe outlets - I get mine from a local Puma Outlet store in Carlsbad.

Puma Online Direct Here: http://puma.subesports.com/products/...UMA/prodID/952

Liked 'em so much I went back and got a second pair!

they do some with Motorsport specific branding, i.e. BMW and Ferrari, but no Porsche ones yet.

They do shoes that range from the 'street' models I wear - through to full FIA approved driving shoes for track use.

Agree, I found my size 12 were "true to size" and very comfortable. Bob

Cool

Tim,
When driving a giant weiner it is important to have excellent "purchase," or traction. Some guys will go barefoot, but I find that Simpson Racing shoes help my toes grip when my weiner is pushing hard down the straights. Simpson Racing shoes also offer good ankle support, though this feature is only useful when actually talking about racing.

YW. That's the point. I'm sure some guys have had good experiences, but man, so many of the reviewers were just miserable that I didn't want to be penny wise, pound foolish.
