LOL! I got my Pumas on ebay, too! 👍
My Pumas are very snug, which is nice, but it makes getting them off and on a bit of a pain, so I got a set of elastic no-tie shoelaces, and that made them nice slip-on affairs. You might be able to find them at a local shoe store or sporting goods outlet, but like my Pumas, I found the laces on ebay:

NOT my item for sale -- just trying to be helpful!

Thought you all might be interested in this -- Fast Track Sims will soon be offering these in blue (shown), black, and red:
The price I've heard is $45 plus shipping -- seems like a good deal for a dedicated pair of REAL shoes for sim racing.
very good price point and from the picture nice thin sole and soft shoes, 👍
I used to use socks with the DFPro Pedals, but no way with the CSPs. I just get cold feet and doesnt feel good. Also, when setting the brake level a bit higher I find it is better with shoes, when applying force.
So I got some Sparco cart shoes. They are not fireproof (isnt actually necessary in a racing cockpit ) but except of that, they are the same as the racing shoes. They are very comfortable and feel very good.
Also, it adds some realism to the whole thing. 👍
Price: 62,-
They wait for me in my cockpit to be used

Just now ordered the same shoes in black, they were on sale from a local store here.
Anyways I wanted some shoes for karting.
How was the fitting of the shoes compared to your regular shoe size?
Is e.g. 45 a real 45, or do they fit smaller/bigger?
Thanks for the info, just got a call from the store.
They are right around the corner, so I will go try them on
you lucky one...I have to order online. The next motorsport shop is about 650km away.
I would always suggest to try things on before buying. In this case I was lucky the shoes fitted in the ordered size.

That's crazy that they would make the pedals that hard to press. I just go socks with my CSP's and drive barefoot alot in the summer in my real cars and it doesn't bother my feet at all. I can't imagine why a sim pedal would need to be so stiff that it hurts your barefoot to press it. I understand real race cars needing really stiff brake pedals with the G forces and everything, but I can't see any reason to make a sim pedal like that, unless you had a motion cockpit. Wouldn't making it that stiff just seem a little ridiculous, when your sitting still, and not being thrashed around?

Have you guys seen these Tilton style pedals for the Fanatec CSPs?
They seem to be made out of some type of resin, and have a convex curvature.
Socks are just fine now with my CSPs, no more hard edges.
I bought a set a while back, after I saw them featured on an ISR show a couple of months ago.
Was looking for a pair of lightweight shoes, or slippers to use with my CSPs until I got them.
I really like them, the shape seems to conform better to my feet, shot below of them on my CSPs.
There are some better shots of them on the Derek Speare Designs web site below.

For those of you, who prefer shoes, they also come with optional non-skid adhesive grip, like skateboard decks have.

Yup, They are good. first I used them with the Skate deck sandpaper thingy , but the sand from the sand paper kept rubbing of and got caught on the pedal end and make a sand crunching noise when you let go of the pedal.
, used them for about a month and took it off , now without the grip strip, felt much better And no you don't want to do barefoot with this even without he grip strip, it will scratch and blister your foot after one race.. I tested it
on topic .old puma is the best and that's what I use.

Barefoot... I would not want to do, they are too sticky, quick blister recipe...but I have had no problems with thick athletic socks for the last 10 weeks.

Hey All that are interested in simulated racing footwear,
I have not posted in this thread before now due to the restrictions put in place regarding the promotion of commercial products. Now that simBOOT is official I can finally speak on this matter.

Sim Racing footwear has a very unique set of requirements which we have addressed.
Please take a look and if you use DFGT, Fanatec, G25,G27, Thrustmaster or the like then you may want to explore what dedicated product simBOOT produces and offers. If not, just say hello to a fellow sim racer.
Take Care,
sB

One word: Piloti.
Comfortable for walking, sim-racing, and real world driving. They also look stylish, feel great, and aren't too expensive. A thick but sensitive sole, they don't boil your feet, designed with roll heel (which is a great thing to have while driving) and an extra bit of sole in the right shoe's right side for heel-toeing. Also, if you fork out some extra cash you can buy either their RSR or LMP models (Oh, forgot to say, they have awesome names) which are FIA certified and Nomex lined.
I've got two pairs and I'm one happy man with my purchase.
