What driving shoes do you recommend?

I love my Simpson racing boots, but they don’t match my street clothes, and they’re a bit much for short trips. Same deal with my OMP boots. All of my other shoes lack the rounded heel and tend to catch on the floor and lack the smooth roll off for fine controll. Solid black leather would be best, but I’m open to other options.

    Yeah, me too. I’ll drive in whatever I happen to be wearing, whether that be Adidas samba, Harley Davidson boots, or chunky skate shoes. I’ve never felt the need to have specific shoes to press pedals.

      I don’t think I’m in the right climate for it. I need heavy boots to counter the cold and snow, and I can’t be bothered to change shoes every time I get in and out of the car.

          Nice! That makes sense. You might have more room around the pedals and a higher seating position. My legs are far more in front of me than under me, and the pedals are very close together.
