Hope that is real carbon fibre in the Superleggera version. Cue Tut's request to see a supermodel wearing those Lambo shoes :lol:

I just bought an Evora.

The kids are on weetabix and water for the foreseeable and Lisa and I have had to cancel our subs to Naked Wines.

Where the h£ll am I going to find £245 for a pair of Tods?! And I thought Ali's bare running shoe was a bit "out there"...

Holy smoke. I think I'm in the wrong universe.

[all firmly tongue in cheek, naturally...thanks everyone for insights, as ever!]
:damnfunny

You and me both Campbell.....

Like I said earlier there are Puma's on the site for £32 in a size 9, who cares what they look like. :thumbsup

I actually like a more solid sole on a driving shoe so don't think I'd like the barefoot types. I must have soft feet. :?

I am expecting big drifts with these new shoes!

Or do new trainers only make you run faster.....

You will need to get Lisa a pair of new driving shoes too. :)

Can I ask a serious question? Do all of you guys have specific "Driving shoes" that you put on for driving your cars?

Apart from the spacing of the pedals, then is there any other reason for it?

Heard on forums that they are quite nice, think Ali Crozier may have had a pair (may be wrong)? Interested in feedback as well.

George

Sorry not guilty George. I heard the soles were a bit thick (for my liking).

Drive in whatever Im wearing but if I knew I was going out for a long drive or a specific driving event I would favour shoes more suited to the occassion.
