winter driving shoe
Leather uppers feet are comfy no sweating. The sole is suede but
For two foot f1 drivers because of the rubber sole inserts are grippy.
good sensitivity with pedals

These are made for women gymnastics so order two sizes larger for appropriate man size.

17 bucks amazon

Wait, is this an advertisement or?

Why not just get real racing shoes? 💡

 

[MuchoJimbo]

Another good alternative are those water shoes. I use them and they work well, also cheap. http://www.bodyglove.com/shop/products/?20933/footwear/water-shoes/riptide-mens

@Crispy, real shoes would be ideal if you actually race too but to spend the amount of money that real race shoes cost is, to me, a little expensive.

Socks work well too

Socks work well too

Not if you have fanatec clubsport pedals. After 20 minutes my heel is completely numb from the metal edge along the base, and if using heel-toe the edge of my foot gets sore after an hour or so.

Echo this. I used to use Adidas or Nike aqua-socks to drive... in real life. Water shoes and aqua-socks have rolled heels, and have soles that are thin enough for you to feel the pedals well, yet thick enough to cushion your feet. Great for walking around in, too, if you don't mind being a bit different.

I sometimes use my Vibram FiveFingers when I go autocrossing. I love them. I also wear old school Saucony Bullets and Onitsukas. Puma racing shoes are too European for me. hah

 

[Mr Latte]

Im going to buy a nice shoe for using only with the cockpit.
Sad as it may be but possibly a pair of trainers from Puma/Ferrari, Mclaren or even Sparco.

Seen some good deals in the sales...

 

[museumsteve]

lol...how bizarre. I was in Sports Direct yesterday and g/f offered to buy me a pair of Puma Ferrari for racing (they did look cool) but I declined as they were £50 and I thought they were too thick. I bought a pair of slazengers for £15 which were thinner and they're still too thick IMO so I probably wont wear them.
I also suffer from numb feet when playing in socks on my Clubsports

All y'all tenderfoots. Lol

Are you required to wear clothes from Old Navy if you wear those things?

^ this guy has the same car and shoes as me (VW GTI)

However, I sim-drive barefoot.

 

[Jav]

I find my racing shoes sole{Puma Mid Speed Cats) to be too thick to properly feel the pedals(CSPs}, I always go barefoot but on long races it can become slipery. Socks are not grippy enough, I'd love to try out the Simboots at some point.

 

[JohnBodin]

My Puma Speed Cats have always worked well for me -- I'm a PC racer primarily, and they have worked well with my TSW2 pedals, my Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 pedals, and now with my T500RS pedals.

 

[superbike81]

Another vote for Puma shoes. I've got the Ferrari branded Drift Cats and love them. I challenge you sock wearers to do some longer races with CST F1 pedals wearing socks and then call me "tenderfoot"

Challenge done. Quite often in fact, racing 100% Legend on F1 2011. No problem racing barefoot. T500 equipment.

 

[superbike81]

How does T500 equipment = CST F1 Pedals?

The Chequered plate

 

[superbike81]

Socks or bare feet is fine for your average G27/T500/CSP pedals, but once you get into the pedals that are actually meant to simulate the feel of a real race car, like these CST pedals or the newest hydraulic pedals, wearing shoes becomes a must.

 

[fatkrakr]

I use to race in socks after installing the perfect pedal I went to shoes also. I just use water shoes as others have said but its alot more comfortable. Plus at 15 bucks or so how can you beat them.

 

[VINCE__]

Well I caved and got some Vibrom's. Not to race with but just to have, lol.

 

[superbike81]

Also, real diamond plate will tear holes in your socks and rub blisters into your feet if you don't wear shoes, especially doing heel-toe.

[Jav]

I don't think some of the guys realize what a real properly bled hydraulic pedal feels like. Those things are the real deal, rock solid and using shoes is a must! Now for anything from CSPs down barefoot is just fine.

 

[Mr Latte]

Well with noticing this thread I seen a bargin on ebay the other day while buying more bits n bobs for my cockpit.



I got these Ferrari trainers for £35
