As above. What are all you track day experts or race drivers wearing on your feet these days? Apart from Tut obviously.
Cue Clothes Show theme tune...
The Evora pedal box is quite narrow.
And I aim to learn heel n toe before Frolic. As well as avoid nailing brake and throttle simultaneously.
Thanks, dahlings.

Speedcats seem to be the thinking mans choice. Most Pumas are fairly narrow so good for driving

Your man in Fast and Furious wears them too, totally legit.

The puma site often has offers. Speed Cats and Drift Cats are good and there are versions for various wallets.
For me the main thing is that if I can press the brake in the S1 and only hit one pedal at a time

Re: Recommend me some driving shoes
Adidas are my fave but I can't find decent replacements for my worn old Goodyear versions.
Lightweight and breathable a must for frolicking...
Lightweight running shoes do very nicely...I have variants of both of these, 150 maybe too thin of sole for you but I like them.

Or go the full tut...maybe flip flops for out of the car (and keeping Master Rolfe in check).

Good effort so far, everyone, thanks. Pumas hard to find in size / colour I want, Innov8s look great but all size 4 (!), Converse too like my regular trainers, Merrell great but outta my price bracket!
I'll keep digging around now that I have some pointers esp ref running shoe idea!

Back to the future cat here for £32 in size 9. http://uk.puma.com/en_GB/pd/back-to-the ... t&start=29
http://www.uk.puma.com is the main site.
The puma site has sales on regularly so just keep checking. Plenty of time for frolics.
My alpinestars boots are really comfy but not cheap theses days. Had them for years. Sparcos are good too if you want proper race boots.
