Not saying that you should care but I mean if oyu wear say bright blue or red suede shoes with say slacks and dress shirt its a weird mixture. And most of the time i hate changing shoes back and fourth so i just get leather drivers and wear it with almost anything. Granted I also have a pair of driving pumas but in all black to try and match with what i wear often.

I wear size 13-2E New Balance running shoes about 99% of the time. I wear my newest pair while driving the Z to and from the stadium at 5AM for my walking and stair-climbing workout. Older pairs with lots of Shoe Goo serve for everything else.

Early morning workouts are the most beneficial, as testosterone levels in the body peak.

they peak after sunrise, its human nature. forcing your body to wake at unnatural hours is very stressful on the body and doesnt let it recover properly. im a mma and bodybuiding guy, no one works out before 7am. plus your body needs a half hour to wake up, then you eat, then wait a half hour then go work out. at 5am your body wants to be asleep = low test levels. try waking at 7 and working out at 8, maybe youll have enough energy to want to drive a sports car fast.

pumas or chucks .... they're just the best, and if you like the moccasin feel, try a pair of low top chuck slips on's ... you get normal looking shoes, and a great feel.

They look nice and have the Goodyear soles.

I bought these many moons ago and I can't go for a serious drive w/out them. Or long distances since my base has no cruise. I despise driving in my flight deck boots(9"leather boot with ZERO ankle movement.

I generally drive in my Jordans. I happen to have 8 pairs of them, and they're all really comfortable. But by far the most comfortable ones to drive in are my SC1's. Here's what they look like. I also drive in my Supra's sometimes. I have two pairs of them and they're not half bad, but the soles are kinda thin so you can definitely feel the pedals more when they're on.
