your a clown Bahnstormer! anyway what makes shoes like those (the velcro ones) or any other "driving" shoe besides the actual racing shoes like the schumacher ones there any better or worse for driving?

Usually "driving" shoes have a round heel (rather than a squared off one like regular shoes) for better comfort and so you can more easily roll your foot from the brake to the gas.

"Racing" shoes are similar, but with a thinner sole and nomex.

bought 'em from a buddy who raced SCCA when he let me use his Formula Ford for a Solo 1 at Roebling Road...plan to use 'em this fall at VIR for Driver's School (in the 318iS )

Enjoy!

MY 4 year old has shoes with Velcro like that. He's working on learning to tie real shoes.

As do some of the folks in the Alzheimer's unit next door.

Piloti has great driving shoes and they can be worn walking. They give a very good feel of the brakes clutch and gas pedal.

Not to mention the most play Jimmy has ever gotten with us . . .

Wrestling shoes. I have several pairs just because I like them, and they are remarkably similar to high-ankled driving shoes. They start at around $30 a pair and you can get really techy ones for $100.

They are probably less stiff, but they are tight as a glove and light as a feather (the soles are plenty stiff). Probably not fireproof though like a good pair of driving shoes. YMMV!
