Here's what i wear all the time. not just for driving. they are comfortable and are perfect for my size 13 foot when driving the vette which is a MN6. regular shoes tend to get in the way and i sometimes hit 2 pedals at the same time.

Probably 95% of the time I drove my C5 I was wearing tennis shoes. Have to be comfortable.

I love to drive in my sparco pit lane shoes. But I hate to walk in them

I went with the Piloti's. Got both the Prototipo and Spyder models. Best pair of shoes I own. Feel GREAT driving and are more comfortable walking than my New Balance running shoes or Sketchers.

Did a thread on the Piloti's to get input from other forum members before buying. Glad I got them.
