You guys need to see the Adidas driving shoe, it has the GoodYear sign on it.. they come in several colors. THey are available in a store called Journeys (which is a shoe store in many malls in Az and Co at least), they look good! Don't know what they are called though sorry, I believe they are $99 and are made for driving

Even though i'm still not able to legally drive, I love my Adidas Tuscany's Australian GP edition black/white.

Most expensive and best shoes I've ever had!

damn, going through the thread again earlier tonight, i came home and spent over $1000 in shoes! I can't believe it....IMPULSE. I got all the Tuscany GT's (i only had the white/black) and they were getting kind of dirty so 4 of those all together. Few pairs of puma speedcats and 2 pairs of future cats along with the 2 pairs of future cat gt's. Like everyone else says, this board is bad for you!!! Makes me poorer than dirt. oh well, new shoes coming

btw, for those of you who havent seen the future cat gt's they're limited edition and part of the ferrari collection (theyre avail in black, tannish yellow, and red). I grabbed the black and red. I think they look nice, but to each his own. pics:





BTW, I did check my reciept for my previous adidas tuscany gt's and i paid 74.99 for them.

I bought a pair of the black speed cat gt's shown in tri7even's pic above for the Skip Barber Racing School. In the narrow confines of the Formula Dodge car, they were perfect. I have a set of Ultimate Pedals in my TT with the wide accelerator pedal. They work well there too. And they look good with jeans.

I prefer the Puma's and Filas.
I've been abusing mt pilotis for 3 years with no sign of wear at all...you must have had a bad pair. I like them better than the speedcats bacause they are a little wider in the toe and padded more on the side where you heal-toe.

I also like the puma grit cats.....their rally inspired shoe...

For a true track shoe I like the sparco low cuts. Never did like the high-top designs.

I had some Piloti's and many of my friends still do. I must also have gotten a bad pair, they really weren't all that comfortable to me.

Oh, every day the Speed Cats are hard to beat on price. Nice looking too I think, even on an old dude's feet!
