Been looking for a better driving/track shoe. Been through about a dozen and haven't find anything I really liked. Thought I would try these

Merrell Barefoot Edge Gloves

Barefoot Slant Gloves

Super light weight, super comfortable, wide at the right part to tap both throttle and brake, rubber heel. Zappo's has free return shipping if you hate them. I have to say they are the best I have ever tried for driving.

Thanks for the information. I was not familiar with Zappo's, but it looks like a great site for shoes. How do the sizes run on Merrell? Puma's tend to run small.

 

My last pair were Puma Speed Cats 9 1/2. They were too narrow for me and tight - impossible to reach both brake and throttle at the same time.

I order these in the same size (9 1/2) and they fit perfect.

 

I wish I could drive barefoot all the time

 

For me, these are the next best thing to barefoot.

 

These minimal shoes have blown up ever since Vibram came out with those Five Fingers. I actually got a pair, but running in them started to irritate my toes, so shoes like this are the best of both worlds. New Balance has a similar line of stuff as well. I had actually gone to the store to pick up the Merrells but found the New Balance ones more comfortable.

Of the shoes I own though my favorite for driving the Porsche are my Piloti G16 shoes. I stole this pic off google image search. I don't think they sell them anymore, but they still have a lot of different shoes. I picked them up years ago, and then later on was amused to see Jeremy Clarkson wearing them when reviewing the Alfa Romeo 8C.

 

My track driving shoes : ) ... i'm sure locals can confirm .. driving shoes makes no difference to me, only in karting.
