Default OMP and OAKLEY SHOES

Is anyone using OMP or Oakley racing shoes and can you give any feed back. Also if you have big feet such as 14 or 15, OMP has them,

when your feet are 15 do you need special clearance under the dash?

The Oakley race shoes I had were crap, the lace rings broke within the first week. No experience with OMP but I Love my Piloti's.

I have the Oakley high-top shoes and so far am very happy. I haven't been using them long - I guess about 10 race days so far - but have had zero issues and I like the fit, comfort, and feel they offer. Mine are size 11 1/2, so I can't speak for the humungous sizes, but here's one vote in favor of them.

I thought I read in Grassroots Motorsports today that Sparco actually makes all of Oakley's stuff? Or is it just race suits? Anyway - I like mine so far.

I have a pair of Oakley shoes as well and love them. They fit great, are comfortable, and have done me very well for the past two years.

I just bought an OMP pair of shoes, gloves, mid priced suit, etc because they match :o I wanted the helmet to go with them but they charge absurd prices for shields which I refuse to pay that much for a piece of plastic when other brands with good shields are 60% less or even better!

Actually I got a pretty decent deal on them and advised I would really be happy, sold to me by somebody I trust very much, in just trying them on they seem great so far
