I use a pair of wrestling shoes - thin sole helps with pedal feel.

no offense, but those shoes on that other site look like

I love the way that sounds... "Countach"

I got them just becuase I thought they looked KOOL! LOL! But, I have driven in regular sneakers, and work boots, and the shoes sure make driving a 6 speed much better! Don't knock them till you try and compare the difference!

They are not ment for long walks and the like. They have no cushioned insole and the like. For driving they are very NICE though! Foot placement and feel is excellent!
