That hella sucks. I thought you'd appreciate these.

Hmm. I dont know if these are fire proof or not dude. I'd roll Simpson or Sparco driving a sprinter. Watching the World of Outlaws back in the day it seemd like they caught fire everytime they wrecked...LOL
I am sure you know exactly what you need though.

Let me know if you actually get them Graham. I was going to pick these up a few weeks ago, but I have heard of some people being overcharged on the shipping and not receiving product.

By overcharged I mean, they say its $10 to ship and charge you like $30...

Let me know tho dude, I want some!

^ Cool heads-up man.

I'll update accordingly.

I'd order a pair if I didn't just spend $80+ on a pair of Puma driving shoes.

Do driving shoes just stick better or something?

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:43 pm

they also are narrower so you can move them comfortably between pedals, and have a thinner sole so you can actually feel the pedals.

Huh, insteresting. Thanks for the info, Mox.

No size 14's, no looking like a pro for me.

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 9:43 pm

Too bad I have "Extra-Wide" feet. According to New Balance I wear 12 EEEE, so these aren't in my size.

Good call though!

Actually I have no idea what I need. I jokingly said "hell I'll drive it for peanuts, maybe a burger" and he said okay

Oh well rung 4 on the weirdest ladder to F1 you've ever seen

Oh I maintain a pair of high top converse (green preferably) are about the best feeling driving shoe Ive ever worn, too bad they arent fire proof.

there are some in my size,,,, but I just got a new pair of Adio's.

Oh well my Adio's look hella better than those ugly things.

I've already got a set of pumas and addidas driving shoes

no needs for any more even tho they are so cheap.

have you noticed a decline in quality with these? I used to be able to go a year without having to replace them and then the last two pair have practically fallen apart in about 4 months....

I love these shoes otherwise ... wtf?!?!?!?

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 12:06 pm

well when I road raced and stuff back home I used piloti. These are the first set of Pumas I've owned. I've had them since November and I've had zero issues with them. I wear them to work on occasions and I usually walk over 4 miles a day at work, but for the most part they are for the track.

11EEE here. It sucks man. I never order shoes online since they probably won't fit.

13.5E here, I can heal-toe in anything unintentionally most times

Wow. I have no idea how wide my feet are.

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 5:06 pm

I wear a size 12, but have no idea how wide. I have no issues with my feet getting tangled in the pedals. I just dislike left foot braking.

bone-yard-racing · Post by **bone-yard-racing** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 5:33 pm

I got measured at a shoe store once. I have no real problem wearing regular width shoes. I dont left foot brake mostly because my leg is too fat to fit under the wheel

grambo · Post by **grambo** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 10:29 am

Shipping confirmed. Should be on my porch in a few days.

Now to check the charges on the CC. ;]

I can't heel-toe, but in the 05 and the 98, I just rest my right foot half on the brake and rock my foot to the right to blip the gas on downshift.

Haha, well you'll be happy to know that any new balance sneaker in the extra wide width will fit you. I have to get my work boots from Redwings in 12 wide with a "king toe" box. There are only like 3 models of boots from them I can wear.

MoxHair wrote:Caveman feet

Nope, just flat footed. If I step out of a pool when I walk around it's a straight outline of my foot, no arches.
