Sparco driving wrc Shoes

I juat bought a pair of WRC shoes from Sparco. Should be great with the manual. I'm going to take these to Europe with me. Just wanted to let you guys know that the wrc.com rally store is full of acessories from clothes to car stuff, and ship immediately.


^ just some stuff I ordered, antenna and tire caps.

haha yeah they look like golf shoes, but hell, SPARCO shoes! there are one or two skate-looking sparco shoes on ebay that i think are rips, but these are nice driving shoes!!

tibby01, how the hell!!! i can't drive with bare feet at all. when i drive in florida barefoot from the beach i feel my bone pressing against the gas pedal to the point where it just makes me feel nautious. i don't know how you do that man... yeek. cool.gif

i have to agree, pums makes some cool driving shoes. haven't tested any of them but this is basically the same stile. light and simple with no complicated irrational ghetto bulges in wierd spots.

i think the antenna is retractable. i'm definitely getting one. wrc.com store ships immediately too, and well packaged, and worldwide.

I've had a set of puma Speedcats and LOVE them for driving. those look nice, but the back is too tall IMHO. the ferrari f1 puma shoes are really bootlike, I'm guessing thats because they're using the entire leg to push pedals. In the tib tho, we don't need all that force, i like the cut on the shoes nice and low. Let me know how you like those. smile.gif

that's the first thing i will do when i get them. yeah i totally don't understand why the back of shoes are always all thick and ghetto. everytone drives who wears size 9-19 so why not make them good for everything?!

yeah the f1 shoes and wrc shoes are boots. not worth $180 though at all. i bet they are heavy duty though.
