Driving Shoes?
I'm looking for a pair of driving shoes, I'm sure some of you guys have a pair. I've been told to look at Puma's, but I'm sure there are other options, I'm not trying to spend a shyt ton of money here, but I'd like something comfy for my late night runs, I'm tired of rocking boat shoes/flip flops

Couple of my local buddies picked up a couple pairs of Puma's. They're relatively cheap, and decently comfortable.

I have been racing enduro karts for years and I just use wrestling shoes! Don't waste your money on specific "driving/racing" shoes.
The wrasslin shoes work just fine because they have very thin soles. Just don't walk around in them a lot........they wear out quick doing that.

Yeah see thats the problem with puma they are too thin on the bottom and wear out quick piloti's are comfertable and dont wear out quick at all.
