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)

They also have softer thinner soles so you get a better pedal feel transmitted through to your foot. Supposedly to quicken reaction times. I don't know if that is the case but there is better feedback to your foot with them. They are more comfortable than regular tennis shoe because they are more flexible. Kind of like wearing slippers to drive.
