shoes

[scruffythefirst]

tried a search but it just gave a blank page!

What shoes do you guys wear driving a westy.  Thought about race or kart boots but I'd rather have something more "normal".  can't find any trainers that look small enough, any ideas?

Puma Race cats look good too

Next regularly do trainers with a narrow sole, that's what I drive in.

I bought a new pair of blue adidas titan for £35 off e-bay and have a great pedal feel

next trainers    

tried driving in a pair of cat boots once , one boot fit all the pedals

I use Reebok Ex O Fit trainers. I take a size 10 in these, and both my cars have narrow pedal boxes.

I agree that kart or race boots are a good choice for driving, but they are crap for walking in, as are most of the pseudo/fashion type driving shoe replica type trainers.

The old style of Nike "Aqua Sock" are superb!

Extremely thin & grippy "climbing-type" shoes, you can really feel the pedals through them.

Ive had a pair of Clarks No. 10. (not Jims ) for 4 years

You can have them for nowt

They batter my feet.

Ooooh me Corns.

Cant beat an old pair of Nike or Vans flatties (mountain bike trainers), nice smooth sole with non of the "skicky out bits" you get on modern style trainers.

Depends on the size of your feet really, I wear karting boots but don't really have much choice (size 13.5 - 14's), demon theives do some nice kart boots that are just like a training shoe which are fairly narrow & have a good sole, about £30 iirc but they only go upto size 10....

I can drive mine quite comfortably wearing my size 7 DMs

A pair of *Brantano's finest 'trainers' at about £6.50 from their remainder bin. Mind you, I do have dinky feet at size 8.

*for the uninitiated, Brantano is the Matalan of the shoe world. One up from a market stall.
