    Cool something fun for footwear

    I know many of you have talked about footwear, everything from CS shoes, to wrestling shoes, Pumas, etc...
    Driving my car the first time the other day made me realize I need much thinner shoes, those pedals are awfully close together.

    I'm not normally a Van's shoe guy, but these caught my eye and the Van's custom shoe site are 20% off right now which came to about $64 shipped
    https://www.vans.com/en-us/customs

    create your own style ����

    to give you an idea of what my paint should be, you can visualize it a bit in the shoes

    Although I just got the off the shelf ones. I like how narrow they are.

    I'm a fan of the Puma Speed cats. About as narrow as they come for people with big feet.

    +1 for the Pumas. Narrow and comfortable. Really appreciate the thin and flexible midsole and great traction for positive pedal contact. Love them for driving. Pro tip - order a half size larger as they seem to run slightly small.

    Me too, it’s almost all that I wear. I think they are the best driving shoe, so comfortable and even the wide ones are narrower (and less chunky) than vans. I do have a slip on set of vans though.. even though I have a dozen pairs of chucks I don’t like the slip one version!

    Most indoor soccer shoes work well, like Adidas Sambas.

    I got some from piloti. They are a little pricey but really comfortable. Also just wait for a holiday as they have sales all the time.

    I have a pair of lowtop chucks that I think are right in line with these, but that checkered flag is nice
