My Piloti Spyder driving shoes ... and a pair of new work gloves. Not worried about the gloves, but did anyone notice a pair of these (blue) shoes that must have gotten left behind?

Are those suppose to be good driving shoes or something?

Tom Berry drives with a pair of cheapie Korean made New Balances because they were on sale. Don't worry about the shoes Cam. ;)

With "regular" shoes, my left foot hits the hood popping cable when I go from the dead pedal to the clutch.

Those Piloti's are very comfortable, and fast and easy to put on.

Oh there's an easy fix for that, just put your left foot on the brake ;)

Pilotis are good if your intent is to not change shoes after you run. The Pilotis work good for standing in also. Many driving shoes do not.
I like the Pilotis, I have maybe 7 different ones now. The service is good too from the company.


A good shoe if you are watching a budget is a wrestling or indoor soccer shoe. Indoor soccer shoes often are on sale at Big 5 for cheap.

Cheap ???
What are you talkin' bout here... Ah paid pert'neer 20 bucks for em!

The left foot on the brake thing works.... As long as you don't keep it depressed all the time in a car with 90ft lbs of torque.

I'm probably bracing myself with my left foot/knee crammed to the left ... but yeah, I should start left footing it again.

We'll if shoes can make a difference I guess I'll wear my G-Force race shoes.


I bought these for my off road racing. By the way, My next off road race is sept 27th.
