Default Driving shoes
Anyone got a favorite pair of them ?
I would love these



In grey but I'm not willing to spend 200$ on shoes

If you drive an auto you can get away with just one shoe, so that's only $100.

You've got to admit, that is just funny.
Those are pretty cool (Simpsons?) driving shoes. Like those Blue Suede Shoes.
On Edit, I see that those are Sparco's; very nice.

Driving shoes! When we were at the track in ST LOUIS, they made me remove my flip flops and go bare footed

I 'daily drive' these. Low profile sole and really comfortable. Not really a bona fide racing shoe (i.e. fireproofing requirements, etc.) but I get great pedal feel and response with these on.

Out of curiosity I looked up my shoes. It looks like they don't make them anymore, and I can't find any online in normal sizes

I use both feet when driving, gotta torque up tranny when coming off a corner before letting off brake. Woody Kills some of the terrible lag we have in the throttle body which is why I went to dual T/B's.

Were/are you a 1/4 or 1/2 miler ?
I rode Triumph and BSA as an AMA amateur back in the 60's.

Can't count the number of welding rods used to keep the bottom on the hot shoe.
