Piloti Driving Shoes

[jameschang]

Has anyone tried Piloti driving shoes? What's your opinion?

[CaptainBennett]

Another question: where can i find some discounted ones online?

[jcsaleen]

Nope stick to my ferrari/puma's!

[drunken monkey]

the real ones or the fake not suitable for track use ones?

anyway.
check out sparco's range of driving shoes.
they fit like a dream and have enough styles to suit most people (and whatever racing suit you've got).
they're also one of the very few shoes that i've worn that don't give me pains in my arches after an hour.

Well, since he asked about Pilotis, I will give him my opinion on Pilotis.

I have the prototipo, in race yellow and black. I get a lot of good feedback on the looks. Guys want the shoes, chicks dig 'em Driving wise, I can safely say that I'm highyl dependant on the shoes now. I can no longer drive with my adidas or nikes. The difference is the soles. On the Pilotis, they are made more stiff, so you can depend on the balls of your feet to work the pedals instead of stabbing them with your toes -- which in my opinion is good.

Heel toe with the shoes is much easier witht he added grip on the side of the shoe, but any shoe can heel toe fine. Comfort on the street is great. I've never had sore feet because of them. They are comfy, and they look great. I recently stepped in mud so I'm going to have to go buy another pair and probably some DTMs as well. Pilotis treat me good.

just googled the pair you mentioned and I have to say, they look pretty good and seem pretty "street-able" too unlike a pair of Top 3s...

might have to invest in a pair and give them a try.
if I could find them in the UK that is.
might explain why i've never come across them before.

I drive in whatever shoe fits my clothes when I go out... Unless I know I'm going racing only, then I most likely take my Puma's...
Not a big fan of the Pilotis...

Aha, good enough for me

The time I wore the puma's they were really comfortable and very streetable if you will. Comfort and very easy to drive with. I wonder what the drivers for R.E and FEED use?

Not bad reviews ~ http://www.piloti.com/about/testimonials.aspx

But they look more like shoes the puma's are amazing if you have thin feet. Imo
