I've got a pair of old school Lanzera indoor soccer shoes. These things are easily 13 years old and the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. They're thin soled and you can feel everything. In fact, it kinda hurts to walk on gravel in them.

They look just like this, except they're not the kid's size ones.

onitsukas tigers are really good too. soles are thin so u can feel the pedals. they are pretty much similar to the 5zigen shoes and they're made by asics.

You really cant beat a basic puma driving shoe in most cases. Many of them have the same basic design as their race shoes, but can be bought for well under 100. Usually you can find some style on massive sale somewhere. I have a pair of drift cats that I wear around most of the time. Super light, feel every thing, and good design. Pilotis are great too and have a bit more to them. Neither are great for a lot of walking. The keys are narrow, thin sole, and rounded heal.

I also have a pair of Alpinestars race shoe which I absolutely love above all others, but pointless if you dont need the nomex and even less comfortable to walk in

Here is a link with 4 differant colors of the Ducati panigale shoes by Puma. 109.99 each.

Damn had to come back and say they don't have them in wide, I'll have to find out if I can get them in wide. If not will probablly have to go half a size up.

I know these are for driving but I have these for my "everyday shoes", they feel like any other shoe DC makes.

piloti's are okay. very comfortable to wear daily too. otherwise i'd recommend some puma driving shoes - extremely thin soled so don't expect to get much life out of them wearing them daily.

Doug Herbert Performance, a mostly on-line based company has Nomex Simpson driving shoes in black with white laces in the low, mid, and high top style right now on sale.... i think they were like $50 or something when I was in there today, considered getting some, but my car broke down in the parking lot due to bad gas!!!
