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.
take off your shoes and drive barefoot for maximum control, then change back into shoes for your workday
I keep hearing this, but I don’t think it’s for me. So many people seem to like it that I’ll at least respect it, but I can’t imagine liking that.
If you want to feel what the car is doing, it’s great. If you want to feel the clutch point, it’s great. If you want to have precise throttle control, it’s great. If you want to have protection in a fire, not so great.
I believe you. I won’t go barefoot. I also intend not to catch fire.
I wear moccasins for this reason. Thin, responsive, lightweight. But then you do have to change when you’re done.
Thanks. This might be a good compromise.
