Got my monthly online flier from Griot's and they are advertising Piloti driving shoes. Very spiffy! But what worth are they? Do driving shoes really help heel and toe that much? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Is this a fashiion issue and not a functiion issue? Never had any so I thought I would ask if any of you own "driving shoes." I mean, I can see having nomex shoes for the track, but hey, if Piloti's cut some time off the autox, I'm ok with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

IMHO, a little of both if I am answering honestly. I actually ran across Piloti shoes at a local store that sells name brands at a discount. I bought them all and actually sold a couple pair on this board. I do not autox, but yes they make a difference from driving in regular tennis shoes. the rubber on the heel comes up 30% up the back of the shoe and you get incredible grip from that. I will tell you that the feature that has most impressed me about the shoes though is the comfort. I find I want to wear them all the time. They look great with jeans, and okay with khaki's and did i mention that they might be the most comfortable shoes I own?
