No_6 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Just got my pair in the mail. Haven't had a chance to drive with them yet, but I am already impressed. Nice construction, attractive, very lightweight, and provide a high degree of sensitivity. A cursory examination show that they are nearly 3/4 an inch narrower than my Teva's, and about 1/2-1/3 and inch narrower than my running shoes, and despite this, they are as comfortable as a pair of slippers (they are a size 7.5). What kind of shoes you fellas have to wear to get your feet to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I wear regular shoes, and I have found that my go pedal can overpower my stop pedal. Was that a birthday present? http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al N. Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Six, I've got size 7.5/8 feet, so I've driven the Seven wearing workboots no problem. I did have a pair of Adidas driving shoes, the Tuscanys. I also notice that Puma Cats seem to be popular among the folks I know. I've thought about pilotis, but think they are just to racer for my tastes. Currently my "dedicated driviing shoes" are Puma S-Bahns, but only because they were on sale. Again, I have small feet so I pretty much wear anything...frequently my Garmont trail shoes. The only shoes I've had issues with are running shoes which have a wider than normal sole.

stevet Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 As my feet are a size 12, I have to wear narrow shoes. Boat shoes work, but my current favs are Puma Speedcats, which are not only very comfortable (and give good feel), but also have some street cred with my Teenager and her friends.

jfgw Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I have pretty small feet - 9 US - but drive in Bell racing boots (had them left over from my hill climbing escapades in the UK). I can drive in one other pair of casual shoes, but the feel i get with the race boots is fantastic, and after all, isn't that one of the reasons we drive se7ens? Sensory overload is how someone once described the se7en and i think touch is one of those senses!

Old Yellow Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 When autocrossing I drive with my right shoo off. I have a size 13 foot and even my Simpson racing shoes sometimes get confused with the gas/brake pedals. I even cut half the brake pedal face off.

JohnCh Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have size 11.5 and used to drive with my crosstrainers (the Westfield has a big pedal box) but last year I switched to Puma Speedcats and now only drive the car with those shoes. I find the rolled heel of a driving shoe is a lot more comfortable when seated as low as I am in the Westfield. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
