I went a full size up and they fit perfect. Right shoe is tight in the toe, but that's me...not Piloti. Just loosen the laces.

WE were a big dealer under the old regime and then signed up with Canadian Tire. In 2006 we sold somehere in the neighborhood of 1200 pair of Pilotis under the old regime.
Under the new regime we can't give them away.
Like you, we drank the Koolaid twice. When Canadian Tire came back a third time we passed. They must have thought they could double the price and nobody would notice. I'd forgotten that they were made in in the Nam. Fifty years later and that place still won't let go of me.

Curious of who makes a good driving shoe that really isn't a pure racing shoe. I looked at the selections and some look really good but weren't in my size. After the quality/fit comments I kind of moved on. I have pure racing shoes for racing but wondering if anybody goes with a driving shoe for light track duty that they where around the paddock or away from the track?

Are these Hunziker shoes that Pelican is selling any good? They have a sale going on.

Meh to me these look like ugly rock climbing shoes and the soles are too thick/clunky. I'd rather wear full fireproof racing boots or just Nike frees for driving on the street.

Some of the shoes that Driving Impressions puts out are good. I like the grid shoes https://www.teamdi.com/product-category/shoes/teamdi/

They private labeled these to lots of tracks and groups, so you can find the same shoe with a different color scheme or embroidery pretty easy.

We got them Private labeled. For the price you will not beat them. https://apexperformance.net/shop/dri...ex-performance. I have a wide foot and they fit me great. Feel like you have slippers on.

I like the Puma Motorsport shoes mostly the DriftCat, I wear a 13 https://us.puma.com/en/us/mens/shoes/motorsport

These Pumas and the shoes that Clark at Apex have are good.

OK, thanks! Those Puma’s look cool. But BMW? Really? Mercedes? Never! Ferrari/Red Bull? That sounds poseur... Where them P-shoes at? :-)

I bought the team DI shows based on the recommendation that they are great if you have wide feet. The Pumas are are just too narrow for me. Shipping was very fast and for 50 bucks, I am very impressed. They are comfortable for my wider feed from the first time wearing and the fit was true to size for me.
