If anyone else is like me and has been looking for real driving shoes that don't look absolutely silly when you step out of the car, I've just found the source.
Puma! Yes Puma, as in Adidas, Nike, Puma. They have 20+ styles to choose from and they are the real deal.
If you've never driven with real driving shoes, especially a manual gear box, do yourself a favor and invest $75, you wont be sorry.
I'm lucky enough to have a Puma store close by, but I'm sure they have them online. Word of caution, they run 1/2 a US size small.

Happy clutching!

I wear the Addidas Goodyear driving shoes and they are very comfortable and nice and narrow for driving. Cost me arround $50-$75. Same type of shoes as the Puma line.

My advice is get the low or mid top, the high top are too "racing specific" and hard to wear it with Jeans, etc. I have these, wear them out for more than just driving on the track too (to-and-from, go-kart, walking around)

hope it help,

Nice, but I mean shoes you can wear to a restaurant that has tablecloths.

Incognito like.

The Adidas are the same they have a lot of various colors as well. The only thing I dont like about the Pumas are that on some of the shoes the laces are not in the middle of the shoe. Puma just came out with a BMW shoe and a Porsche shoe with carbon fiber on the heal.
