What I want in racing shoe (straight line) is a very thin sole for improved pedal feel and a sole with good traction for grip of the pedals during aggressive movements. Suppleness for comfort is also a plus.
Those criteria came together in a pair of black Diesel sport flats, which I've drag raced in for six years and counting.

I've got a pair of Piloti Prototipo's, which are the most comfortable shoes I've EVER owned. They are light weight and give just the right feel. I do not drive my Vette now wearing any other type of shoe! Highly recommended!! Go to www.piloti.com and check them out!

I have two pair of these - they are great to drive in and walk around in.

I also have a pair of these for when athletic shoes aren't appropriate:

Normally I drive barefoot. But I always have my flipflops handy in case I want to get out of the car.
If I were to race, the shoes some posters have shown look pretty nice.

Take a look at these...

I have some Adidas, no longer offered but in size 14. I don't drive my Z06 without my driving shoes, as my normal street attire consists of size 14 combat boots.... which can make for very interesting driving.
A co-worker has Piloti shoes that he is happy with.
