[Zenki_S14]

I sell these Pumas at my store. http://motorsport.puma.com/products.jsp?id=28& and http://motorsport.puma.com/products.jsp?id=30& , We have them in different colors, though. They're comfortable as hell.

[D1drifter]

Phat farms...Light and stylish:boink:

[aznpoopy]

whatever shoe i'm wearing at the time...

new balance running sneakers circa 1998 ... yes i still have them and i still wear them ^^ . bostonian work slip ons ... like driving in slippers. sketchers black boots ... like driving on wood blocks. it's like driving 3 different cars.

[ONYX S-13]

I used to be sponsered by by osiris shoes so i wear those all of the time....I have to be careful while driving cause i have a size 13 foot and big puffy shoes on...2 days ago when i was shifting i hit the clutch and the brake at the same time...I just startin laughing, but it sucked too....Good thing i wasn't flooring it anywhere and shifting fast or i prolly would have jerked the car pretty hard.:)

[fastpace]

my very comforable nike airmax, the running ones. very nice and light shoe, but I really like driving without shoes. :D

[Muzzy]

OK, I will let you guys in on my secret.

Silver Series(now called 2xs I think?) velcro from walmart. The most comfortable shoe ever, spray painted chrome for JDM bling factor. But seriously, they were $9.62 with tax, velcro on tight in seconds, and have supersoft soles. The real soft soles let me feel the pedals like I was barefoot, but they have more grip than my foot. Proven to take off 1 second on an AutoX course:D

I currently own 3 pair: one white, one black, and one spray painted chrome(the driving shoes)

If I were to ever spray paint em yellow and put stickers on them, I would be unstoppable. (Yellow=fast)+(Stickers=fast)=National Solo II champion

[revat619]

Its all about the low chucks. Mine are nice and worn to, so they're quite flexible and they still have a lot of grip.

It's either those or my running shoes. Mizuno Wave. Pretty comfortable to. They're not as flexible as my chucks, but they have more grip.

[vodka]

Some K-Swiss, a pair of Adidas Shelltoe Superstar low tops, or my Jordan Retros

[Warwick5s]

New Balance 991's. oh, so comfy. damn light too.

[Chernobyl]

Either Puma Top Winners, DC Tens, or Globe Mojos.... pretty much whatever is on my feet when I leave the house.

Unless you break them in like you have. Other than that if you are not careful they can pop off your ankle during rough driving.

My choice are the High Top Monochrome Chuck Taylors.

Those Somoa's look nice, but I have wide feet so they may not look so good. I will have to see those in person.

[black s13]

im wearing Piloti monacos. met a guy at a bmw meet that had them, and i liked how they looked, so i bought them. then found out that theyre fire proof (full nomex lining) and have reenforcement for heel-toe and shit like that. i love em.

aznpoopy: our shoes own ! i have a hole too ! check it out !

[airsoft]

nevermind, can't see it =[

:(

[Exessive26]

Some light weight, "gor tex" North face shoes are what I rock!

[mistaanime]

nike air jet flight...

[pruto]

socks... well, sandals, then sometimes i take off the sandals and just drive with my socks on. it hurt if you do it for too long, but its the best feel :eek: illegal in most tracks, but who cares if you're just messin' around rite?

irc. its illegal in the US to drive with open toed shoes/slippers due to some really outdated reason and i love open toed shoes. :rolleyes:

[DRFT]

my dunks

http://www.stress.no/images/Image_Prod/nike_dunklow_meny.jpg

[aznpoopy]

airsoft : mad 1337 shoes T_T ....

it's all about the horribly worn down bottom making it SOO easy to twist that right foot heel onto the gas. the holes only improve aerodynamic function! but my feet get cold in the winter cuz the cold air goes right through :P

[240trainee]

Speedwell (http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/444399/c/69.html) I wanna try these. 40 bucks and free shipping, can't beat that!!

[OldSklS13]

barefoot y0!

[old_s13]

Yet again, I ask... IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN TOP ME?

I think not.

The shoes? DUKES, they are old skate shoes from back in the day.

Use? Over 7 years of automotive tomfoolery at its best.

I have wrenched, slid, burned out, you name it.. I've done it in these shoes. AND whats even better, is that I still have them and refuse to throw them away. I actually bought an extra set back in the day, except for some reason.. they are not wearing-in as snugly as this set. Its just not the same unless its WORN into the shape of your foot. Its like a pair of jeans that fit snug, there's nothing like them.

Okay.. enough talk! Here are the images.

Thats right, top suede is completely faded to hell. Bottom sole is next to near GONE if it wasnt for a bit of shoe goe to help seal things back into life. My clutch pedal really killed the left shoe.

I own you ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice!!:bowdown:

[Phlip]

My favorite shoe; the Adidas Shelltoe and pick one:
Superstar - Basic low top shelltoe
Ultrastar - Low top shelltoe big leaves for the logo, front and back
Pro Model - Basic high top shelltoe
Pro Shell- Pro Model with a velcro strap around the ankles

... Pick a color, I have like 12 pairs of the various shelltoes in some hard to find colors. When it comes to them as a driving shoe, they are sturdy enough and still narrow enough to drive effectively in too, it's just convenient that they happen to be my favorite line of shoes too.

calm down man, everyone has different shaped feet :rolleyes:
they are just shoes!

i've skated in those shoes ever since they came out back in the mid 90's and love them...very simple design, nice padded ankle support.... Etnies were one of the first skate shoe company and i think their shoes are quite solid.....i
and u think they are bulky?!? :confused:

look at the skate shoes of today!!!! they are like friggin basketball shoes

[dmaestro]

http://www.zappos.com/images/385/124385/52117-p.jpg

Speedwell Lemans II, I like em but they look like a bowling shoe. Can't really where them out unless you wear khakis.

And they're made for driving sooo yea :w00t:

[steedsta]

i wore lugz to dd6, very quick response because of the hard sole and since im 5'4" it evens out my arms to steering wheel and legs to pedels a little so does the 1/2 inch pedal plates. the booster chair i took from dennys really gives me good height also.

[nismo skyline]

my pumas or my work boots, there pretty comfortable and i can "feel" the pedals easier

[Brian]

DC, Addidas and Etnies.

[MorganS13]

Doc Martens :D .. j/k

actually i get around fine in just about any pair of tennis shoes, usually Nikes in my case.. I have a couple older pairs of Zoom Airs that i wore down from tennis that have a real nice feel to them.

[HiPSI]

Merrell Jungle Moc slipons. i've got the soles so worn out that i get a nice feel out of them and they now weigh nothing:D

[240Driver39]

Adidas Shelltoes... good for driving..

[thx247]

Some old airwalks I have that I pulled the soles out of. Even more comfortable now. Had them...5 years? BOOYA

[mistaanime]

hahaha wut did you try to do Old_s13? Super Glue the sole together on the bottom? heheh nice.:D

[Takumi]

The Lugz Funkmaster Flex driving shoes. Haha....j/k.

White Adidas T-Mac II's and some random pair of Sketchers. They're not driving shoes, but that's just uh...the only pairs I wear. The best shoes for driving that I've ever had was the only pair of New Balance that I ever bought.
