Driving Shoes

[chippiepilot]

Does anyone use driving shoes if so who uses what?

I currently have a pair of alpinestars suede nomex numbers which are like slippers - so comfy and great for long distance and have a great pedal feel as well, unfortunately can't get them anymore.

I do fancy as my second pair either these

Ill be honest, I luv it when the summer comes and I enjoy nothing more than driving bare foot. I think it is actually illegal!!! What a 'Nanny State' we live in these days.

I used to get an annoying drip on my feet of ice cold water, it turned out to be condensation dripping from a split in one of the air con pipe jackets.....good old gaffer tape, problem gone.

So in answer to your question, no. I have some Sparco boots, similar to the above, but they are just gathering dust in my loft...a left over from my Group N rally days.

I used to have a pair but the shoe type not boot which I used for track days.

now now, I cover them up when I step out of the car though if Im going down the pub/out I will swap over to my normal shoes/trainers. Each to their own - anyways it distracts people from looking at my face if they do notice.
