I got my Piloti Spyders in the mail... they fit well and look cool, but as a "driving" shoe, my 5-dollar water shoes work better.

I think they should have made the sole of the shoe quite a bit thinner, although the pedal feel might improve a bit once they're broken in.

The heel is a little thicker than I would have liked... but that shouldn't be a problem once I get the Momo steering wheel that I ordered installed, with a spacer.

I got them for like 60 bucks from ITB Motorsports, though

(Edit: I must say they do work adequetaley well as driving shoes... simply that a true racing shoe should be much more sensitive)

Are any of you guys or girls over 6ft and if so can you tell me how heel toeing works for you?Im like 6'3 and have really long legs so when I sit in my fc my knees hit the steering wheel Or can all of this be avoided by changing to a smaller diameter steering wheel.

A smaller steering wheel (preferably with a spacer), as well as thinner shoes, should help.

got a pair of puma kart cats for my birthday a few days ago....freaking love em!! with my huge feet and the pedals so close together in my FC heel toe was practically impossible with normal shoes. and they're super comfy and look great.

highly recommend pumas
