    Default Driving Shoes

    Wondering what everyone else wears when going for serious drift/circuit/touge runs?

    Friend of mine is looking at buying a pair of sparco's
    They look great but i dont know if i can justify spending over $200.

    Im normally a barefoot driver but that just isn't cutting it this winter up on the mountain. Im looking for a cheapish pair of shoes nice tight fit and MINIMAL sole thickness.

    Suggestions?

    cons!

    I would only buy some racing shoes if i was racing in a series or soemthing. That are pretty useless if you had to go into the shops or something and a bitch to put on and off.

    What about some rock climbing shoes. they're tight fitting and have a thin sole... no idea on prices tho.

    Ahh just got sucked into buying a pair of sparco's the dollar is just too good atm! Im confident it will be money well spent. Vans cons ect just don't do it for me it feels akward and my knees clash with the steering wheel. Im also sick of hiding my bare feet at the track.

    Shoes came in at around $200 heres the link if anyone else is interested. Good prices and they ship overseas
