I usually wear sneakers, mostly basketball style but they aren't that good for driving. I bought a pair of Adidas indoor soccer shoes and their good. Last week I picked up these babies, they are perfect for driving having a scuff protector on the back and they look good and feel good so you don't have to switch out to other shoes when you get to where your going. Heres the link..anyone else have favorite driving shoes?

I keep a pair of Nike runners under my cargo net for longer drives. They're very light and due to the material don't heat up too much. What's even worse than my having a pair of sneakers specifically for my Z, is that is that they match the color of my car. : )

There's nothing wrong with that......

All my friends think this is weird but, I have kind of big feet, size 12, and I feel like I can still get great pedal control barefoot so I generally wear sandals into the the car and stick them under the seat while driving.
Driving Barefoot is the ****!

Rushguy

Dude..I tried driving barefoot but those pedals hurt like hell. I'm also a size 12.

I've never driven the Z barefoot. I imagine the aluminum pedals wouldn't be as comfortable as rubber pedals are. jcr847, do you drive a Base?

I usually wear my Kenneth Cole black loafers.

I have a base but have the aluminum pedals off the other models. The feel of the pedals doesn't bother me at all. I kind of like it, feels more in control.

The best pair of driving shoes I ever had was a pair of wrestling shoes. They are soft bottomed,so you really get the feel of the pedals,but they have good edges, so you don't slip too easily while H&T'ing....As far as I can tell, they are very similar to racing shoes, at least cosmetically. Don't know if they are the same structurally.

i have a couple pairs of puma track shoes that i like to wear. unless it's a long drive though, i don't make it a specific point to wear a certain pair of shoes

Typically my athletic shoes, dress shoes are ok if need be. Definitely not my Lugz... and nothing else with thick soles.

I agree... only problem is that if I let my toe nails grow too long, they sometimes catch on the clutch pedal...

In the warm weather, my best pair of driving shoes is definitely my black low-top Chuck Taylors....light, thin-soled, and they give plenty of pedal feel. In the winter, I just wear whatever fits the weather...the Chucks are way too cold for that time of year.

I'm a 12-13 so i can't wear all my shoes to drive. I have a pair of addidas running shoes that are 11.5 and pretty tight, but they are good to drive in or i have some puma's that look like track shoes, extremely lightweight and small, its like not wearing any shoes, i love wearing them to drive

ahahah me too bro! I thought i was the only one lmao

I wear shoes to get in the car, but I slip them off and put them in front of the seat and drive with socks on. My size 13 shoes dont help when I'm using the clutch.

eddytsi

man, i did that one time to move my car, it felt sooooo weird letting go the clutch.

i like wearing sneakers but hate driving in dress shoes.
is it just me, but i have an indention in the mat where my heel lies on the left foot?

I usually drive in my sandals because I'm most often wearing them. Otherwise I drive in Pumas (the ones that are basically made for driving) or low top chucks.

I usually drive with what I happen to be wearing at the moment, but, I've noticed that my diesel sneakers seem to work the best for me.

On long road trips I perfer to go barefoot as well. It hurts for a while but the pain seems to go away. It's the best way to feel the clutch!

I'll have to check out those pumas since I've only heard good things about them.

I have a pair of Cole Haan driving shoes. They are light, flexible and have knobby soles that I pretty much wore down wearing them out of the car. I now use a pair of Minnetonka moccasins. They have glove soft leather and thin, flexible rubber soles. They are amazing. Soft, flexible with great feel of the pedals through the soles. I'd have to agree that driving with dress shoes sucks.
