    Driving Shoes

    I have to wear shoes for autocrossing, but my feet are to big for the pedals when I wear regular shoes, so I need to find some good, inexpensive driving shoes... anyone know of a good place that carries size 13-14?

        For some reason, I highly doubt they let you drive bare foot in an autox :P

            I have a pair of Adidas Tuscanys. Really good for driving and quite narrow as well (I had to change my heel and toe style cos of these shoes). And they have a quasi tread pattern sole which is like full race. Except that it is backwards.

            Bit stiff and awkward at first but once you've walked around in em for a bit they loosen up and now they fit like a glove. lol not the best analogy but whatever.

            Plus they look pretty good for going out in as well.

              go to the puma website, go to shoes, then click on motorsport, any of the 30 shoes in there will fit your criteria, i have a pair, i forget what they're called though, nice and narrow, very comfortable, only cost about $75 shipped.

                    my 14's are a tight squeeze depending on the shoe i'm wearing

                    wearing my new balance running shoes, i've caught the edge of the brake pedal when stepping on the gas. same w/ some clunkier leather boots

                    most of the time i'm wearing dress shoes or boat shoes, which are both narrow and have thin soles

                    wrestling shoes would work well, but aren't cool to be seen in. i guess the same could be said for my boat shoes :roll:

                    those puma's are an interesting mix of fashion and function

                          Robert, check with Pro-Am up off of Richmond in Houston http://www.proamauto.com, they sell racing shoes. I know they have the Simpson's and G-Force up to size 14.

                          You can get the Simpson low-top for $79.95
