Sounds like Piloti's are the for you.

Many different styles and colors. The low top ones can be worn as every day casual shoes. They are very comfortable.

I've tried piloti and the adidas goodyear. i prefer the adidas, but just a personal pref! good luck w/ driving school! lucky you!!

 

wow! after seeing all those shoes posted....i'm thinking about a new pair! those were nice!!

 

I went to the 2day Porsceh Driving School back in March and have been doing lots of track days and autoX...You do not need racing shoes. You do need some thin sole tennis shoes. Puma and K Swiss make some. I also have 2 pairs of Piloti and they are super nice as well.

Pick thin soles not basketball, running or cross training tennis shoes. You need to be able to roll you heel from brake to throttle and heel and toe and thin soles help you feel the pedals and do not get hung up on the pedals.

Go to the mall and you will find what you need.

 

I have Piloti Prototipo.

Incredible shoe. Watchout though, I ordered the ecosse and they are actually almost purple.

 

i saw good prices on pumas, pilotis, and adidas goodyears on ebay. hard to find, but you can have your email set up through ebay so that when someone lists them, you'll be notified. I bought my adidas and pumas through "journeys". when you go to the website, just type in the brand you want and it pulls up quite a few to pick from. fast shipping too!

Good Luck!

 

does anyone know where the best place in the los angeles area that keeps the largest selection of driving shoes instock. I would like to try them on first to get the proper fit. If I order through the internet i'd be guessing what size and style would feel the best.

 

This is what i bought - very comfortable and light weight.

I don't know of any store in the LA area that stocks Piloti's. If you are going up in Monterey this weekend for the Historic Races you'd find Piloti has a booth in vendor row at Laguna Seca. They'll have all styles and sizes on hand.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

 

diamn....I just bought some Adidas! I already have a green/white pair in leather now I got the red in suede...I highly recommend these shoes!

Piloti is based in LA...near Westlake Village so call them up and see where to buy there driving shoes. I'm sure there are plenty of places in LA that stock Piloti.

Here is the Piloti seach feature on their website....also just Google them with LA in the seach...plenty of places!

have mine on today if you want a picture of the actual shoe. they are super comfertable and you can wear them with shorts...

 

Wheel Enhancement is a Piloti dealer. I wear the Spyder SV and they are very comfortable for all day wear.

 

Try ballet shoes for that ever so light sole.

 

I like the puma motorsport, sparco and oakley, I have the puma motorsport and they are the best. You can get them at D&A Autosport that's where I picked up mine. they have nice prices 408-588-1936
