I'm curious as I'm looking at a pair of Piloti DTM.

Piloti are excellent!
not sure which ones I have but piloti work great. mine have nomax.
I also like my nike free shoes..very think sole and sensitive.
I also have puma (w/ nomax) and I find these ae little too narrow for my liking.

Piloti are great, for drivin but I use em for day to day footware as well. Previously I had two pairs of Monacos and my present ones are Monzas. I don't what made me buy white tho... I won't buy that color again cause they get dirty easily, it sorta kills wearing them for daily wear.

If you only wear them for track drivin, they will likely last a decade or two but aftera couple of years the rubber sole material start loosing grip so you might as well wear em out. Unless you wear a full drivin suit the nomex material is only there for bragin rights.

I have a set of Porsche driving shoes which are very good, and a brilliant pair of Monopostos, which are custom made in Germany. They are simply brilliant.

I've seen you on the track,,, driving flintstone style.

These DTMs are 30 bucks US so depending on the dollar and shipping it seemed like an ok price.

Any footwear store now sells a variety of driving shoes from Puma, Addidas (including the Porsche design version) and others. Find one that fits.

I like my Pilotis better than my Pumas for toe/heel as they are wider and make it easier to rotate my foot between the gas and brake pedals.

I can heel and toe the Porsche in anything - including hiking boots. I think that's a function of the excellent pedal placment. I could do the same in the BMW. All my rally cars had custome pedal set ups that allowed both H&T and safe left foot braking - 'cause you do that all the time while driftiing a corner to modulate the slide.

The audi is IMPOSSIBLE to H&T - so will need some pedal work.

For DRIVING though, I've found Vans (low and high tops) pretty good, but will only use my Simpson nomex driving shoes for "real" work. Perfectly shaped, supple AND safe.

OMP Sam Remo; they are lightweight, fireproof and extremely comfortable. I only use them on the track though.
