Spirited Driving Shoes

euro2low · 04-16-2008, 10:34 PM

What's yours?

I was sporting something like these but in black, back when I had my STi. I still have not tried on anything that gives me the same feeling from the pedals.

Pumas work well, but I didn't get them for the driving, just cuz I liked the shoe.

I'm not kidding when I say I drive better with socks. At least when it comes to driving stick.

Year's_End · 04-16-2008, 10:47 PM

Well I'm actually barefoot 9 times outta 10 cuz I wear flip flops.

pumas of course.

I never understood why Pumas were always preferred.

This thread is funny.
Next we'll be seeing "What gloves do you wear to go to the grocery store?"

Because most of them have a very thin sole, almost giving you as much feel as if you are driving barefoot.

Those OP nikes are rediculous. If you arent going to go barefoot then the best option is puma for second place.

1) They're narrow.
2) Most Pumas are general purpose driving shoes.
3) Most Pumas have a very thin sole that wraps around and up the back of the shoe.
4) They make shoes that say "BMW Sabur F1 Racing" on the side in the team colors.
