Default Piloti Driving Shoes at MSI-Free Shipping

We have had many requests to extend the Free Shipping offer.
So here it is. We will extend Free shipping until May 31, 2008.
Order now and get ready for the race season!!
Thanks,
Terry

Hi everyone. It's that time to get ready for race season and update your wardrobe with some cool Piloti Driving shoes.

Piloti is Italian for "racing drivers". The orginator, Kevin Beard, used his background in biomechanics and design to create a shoe that uses an exclusive, patented Roll Control™ heel technology, Nomex® fire-resistant lining, reinforced heel-&-toe areas, tough double row stitching, and an outer sole reminiscent of the racing tread pattern used in the 50's.

Now Piloti has a line of shoes designed especially for car enthusiasts, rally junkies, and street rodders. (Hint: You don't have to rip around a 32% banked turn at 200 mph to enjoy your Piloti Driving Shoes.) Piloti's Touring line of shoes uses all the performance features in our racing shoes-just sans the Nomex®. They're so comfortable your other sports shoes may collect dust

There are many styles available. Check them out on our website

FREE SHIPPING WHEN ORDERED ONLINE!!!

Thanks
Terry

the prototipo's and spyders are pretty good for everyday wear and spirited driving. the rest seem to be geared more for the hardcore racer. the wife got me a set of the yellow and black prototipo's for x-mas and I got her the black and pink ones. I liked them so much I then got 2 more pair in other colors.

I bought a pair of the Prototypos a while back and they are my favorite everyday shoe. The shoes are so comfortable you almost never want to take them off. I am actually wearing them today at work. I plan on ordering some more of these shoes once I wear these outs.

There are 2 brand new shoe design introduced by Piloti.
They are the Sebring and the Prova CL.

"Introducing the Sebring. With its supple, perforated leather upper and full pigskin lining, it recalls the drivers of another era who were virtuosos behind the wheel of the cars featured at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Our patented Roll Control ™ heel technology modernizes classic design with 21st century biomechanics, making the Sebring as comfortable and stylish in the car as it is strolling the Concours lawn. Piloti drives™ style. "

"Introducing the Prova CL. With its full grain leather or suede moccasin stitched, midcut upper, the Prova CL is a modern version of the classic chukka boot. Pigskin linings create a comfortable fit for all day wear. Piloti drives™ comfort. "

We just added these to our website and of course, free shipping.
Thanks,
Terry

Here is some more info on Piloti shoes.

From the beginning, Piloti Driving Shoes were designed for anyone who desires the best in racing and driving shoe performance. These are people who want a high-performance shoe for heel-and-toeing and other fancy footwork. But what makes Piloti really special is the unique blend of styling and comfort for everyday use on the streets. Here's what makes us so special:

1. Patented Roll Control™ spherical heel for unique cushioning behind the heel bone while in the car. Once outside the car, they support your natural stride with a rubber heel wrap for durability and grip,
2. Athletic construction offers you good cushioning under the foot; unlike typical racing shoes or driving moccasins that have none. The unique "Toe Spring" aids in all-day comfort in and out of the car,
3. Reinforced Lateral Side of the Right Shoe for easy heel-to-toe downshifting. Plus, the reinforced upper and outsole rubber wraps up the side of the midsole,
4. The Race Performance line of shoes has NOMEX® lining for fire retardant safety,
5. High-quality suedes and leathers with pigskin and tongue facings,
6. Removable sockliner supports orthotic needs

From the bottom up, Piloti Driving Shoes are built for performance and comfort-whatever you're driving or doing.

You can view all of the styles at www.piloti.com

Hey Jet Jock, here is some sizing info from the Piloti website
"Are Pilotis sized differently than other shoes?
No. Piloti footwear comes in men's sizes 4 to 13 and fits your feet just like most major athletic footwear brands. Piloti runs true to most athletic shoe sizes, except Nike and Asics, which tend to run a bit smaller (Nike 11 = Piloti 10.5).

Are there sizes for women?
Obviously women's shoes are smaller than men's shoes. You just convert a men's shoe size to women's shoe size by shifting 1.5 sizes down. For example, a women's size 8 equals a men's size 6.5.

What about shoe width?
All Piloti footwear is manufactured in "D" width and fit most narrow and wide foot types from "B" to up to an "EE" width.

This should answer your question.
Thanks,
Terry
