I went to some shoe place with RX3 on the way to track day once just to see what they had. Ended up walking out with a pair of ridiculously comfortable Adidas. They’re like Silver said - thin sole, no laces, easy to feel what you’re doing. :tup:

Idunno, I kinda like my new pumas. Matter of fact, I am wearing them now.

oh and chicanes cost 100 dollars. My pumas were 40.

yeah, any thin sole shoe that is somewhat narrow works well from my experience.

I don’t really put too much thought into it. Just decided to give a different set of shoes a try.

i hate driving in my new work shoes. they are super uncomfortable. i always found pumas to be the most comfortable as my foot is wide enough to heel toe. i wanna try on the new chicanes though.

anyone else all for driving bare foot? that’s my favorite.

I like barefoot becuase I get a lot of feedback, however, you just cannot get great response out of the pedals. A slightly stiff sole allows you to really hammer on the pedals.

I have a pair of these in white with black stripes and I LOVE them. I can’t find them in stores anymore though. Are they available online anywhere?

My Pumas used to be my fav shoe to wear while driving. I used to hate driving in big clunky boots.
