Looking to get driving shoes for GT Academy

[Sam48]

I think my avatar says it all in terms of real driving. However, I prefer socks for my DFGT as I don't get much pedal feel when wearing shoes.

DFGT? Socks are the ONLY answer.

Dress socks feel extra good for some reason.

Dress socks feel extra good for some reason.

Probably because they're a bit thinner. However, for me at least, dress socks hurt my heals and are generally too slippery on the pedals.

Way back when I was sing my DFP, wearing shows felt like wearing snow boots in the real car. Very awkward and spring tension [DFP] had virtually no resistance.

What about a pair of shoes like this dudes?



His might be quite expensive but you might find something similar if your dad's got any old shoes kicking around.

^If you use a G25/G27 then you need shoes, your feet WILL get messed up, especially from the brake pedal.

I have the nixim brake/clutch mod and the old brake spring in the gas spring holder.

I race every day with bare feet and have no problem. To each his own

Wow, 70 posts and no one's mentioned Simboot? They're a forum sponsor!

Epicly tree'd by SANDMAN, you are one subtle ****.

Good luck, I think every one came in here assuming you thought you were looking for something to make you faster when all you want is something to help your set up situation to your liking, so no problem 👍

Good luck btw

P.S. I know you bought the racing shoes, but I know you're going to return them, just trust me you will. So just order the simboots as soon as you can and I can promise you you won't regret it.

btw, I myself use socks with G27, would never want it any other way, but I know people that really don't like slick pedals so they're really happy with their Simboots

thanks for the reply, yeah i do love my RLX's though, they are so ridiculously light and feel like a second skin. Their soles are so thin that i still get really firm pedal fee but i still have that ankle foot stability i needed.

I have been a fan of the SimBoot brand for a while. I meant to get a set of the OG design your own, back in the day and never got around to it. I probably will end up buying the simSoxs eventually just to try them.

Like i have said before the only reason that this setup works so well for me is the high pedal angle I have going on, that way I am not fighting gravity... Its kinda funny I used to have all my pedals foamed for Formula 1, but since I got those Ralph Laurens I have taken the foam out completely.

I'm not going to post my time in here yet, still working on it... sector 3 hates me... but the shoes are great.. .

cheers and good luck with 8-5
