Default Driving shoes/boots

I have at the mo some Puma Speed cats in blue and white that i got from all sports. These are getting a little taty as i wear them quite a bit when its dry.

I am considering getting some new racing boot. I saw some nice boots on the GPR stand at Autosport International. I pick up one of their catologues (sp?) and have taken a fancy to Puma Repli Cat Mid III in blue and white.

Click Me

Any thoughts on these, or anybody recomend another make that are good also. I am between 10 1/2 and 11 in a good shoe.

Cheers

Darren

I've got a pair of Sparco driving boots, and they are very nice to drive in but they *really* suck to walk in... I start getting pains in my feet if standing and walking in them for a couple of hours, but as long as you only wear them to drive, they're fantastic

They all seem to be much of a muchness to me. Bought mine over a year ago, Oakley ones, they only get used when the pug is dragged to a track so still like new. Comfy and do the trick all the same......

Just so long as you're not using them for everyday driving, people who do that look stoopid IMHO

Best thing I've used for driving the westie so I can fit my size 12's in and also have good feel for hee'n'toe etc. are Converse All Starts. Cheap and perfect for driving.
