Ooooh I want these soooo bad! But they're $125 on ebay. They have all kinds of sizes. I don't want to spend that much money on some dumb shoes, but these are rally driver shoes and how cool would these be to drive and walk in?

they actually have little to no padding on the bottom.. just enough to keep your feet safe from the pedals and a small walk to and from the car. They are generally made so you can feel the pedals through the pedals what your car is doing.

Yeah, I have a pair of old shoes that I've worn down that I drive with if I remember to wear them.

I hate fresh shoes where you can't really feel the pedal in your toes.

hahaha!!! yep yep they're quite expensive. korean ricers huh? really... haha imagine wearing a driving helmet for no apparent reason. although i think it would look really cool in the tiburon!

yeah hamhead like work shoes? uuugh... but on the other hand driving with bare feet is worse. i do it all the time in florida from the beach and it feels so uncomfortable, as if your foot is a pole or something.

colin mcrae has his own line too, they look cool as well although you wouldn't be able to tell they were driving shoes. kenneth eriksson (hyundai f2 driver) wore the blue sparco shoes, i think i might consider those just to try something different.
