the shiny ones last me about a year per pair, and i wear em everyday... after a month they mold to feet and feel like nothing is there.. im addicted (as u can tell) i have a wheel box full of about 50 pairs (i figure i wont live much past 60) LOL

You must have PDK because I don't think you want to try to heel-toe with those.

I never wear shoes when driving; much better feel for what's happening with nice socks.

Yeah, somebody's going to say I'm an extremely dangerous driver because I wear nice-fitting quality socks. Gotta get a bumper sticker that says, "Stay back 500 feet: Driver wearing socks."

Chucks

Wide bottom for easy heal-toe action.

Sandals are quite dangerous as they can slip and you could miss throttle or braking. I would never wear sandals or flip flops to drive, even if I am going somewhere that requires it, I just take em with me, drive with Puma Ferrari shoes and change.
