What driving shoes do you recommend?
I love my Simpson racing boots, but they don’t match my street clothes, and they’re a bit much for short trips. Same deal with my OMP boots. All of my other shoes lack the rounded heel and tend to catch on the floor and lack the smooth roll off for fine controll. Solid black leather would be best, but I’m open to other options.
I wouldn’t call it life-changing, but driving a manual with thin, flat soles makes a noticeable difference. Driving in my hiking boots feels like trying to use a game controller with thick ski gloves on.
Spring to fall, I drive in bare feet whenever it’s appropriate. It’s so much more direct and comfortable. That said, I prefer bare feet when possible anyway - I realize it’s not for everyone.
Thanks for responding. It’s probably not for me, but I hear that a lot of people prefer barefoot. I wonder if the toe-shoes are a compromise.
