Anyone know how these shoes fit?

I mean, like Puma's are really thin and small so I have to get a size bigger than normal. If I usually wear a size 10 K swiss or Nike or whatever casual shoe, should I order something bigger or smaller from Piloti.com? Also, do I have to order online or are there any stores that I can try them on at? Thanks. I just dont want to go through the hassle of getting an uncomfortable shoe.

this might sound stupid.. but i bought puma shoes just for driving.. they are bad as$... the bottom sole is thin just like a driving shoe.. its almost like your driving bare foot as far as the feel.... very easy to heal-toe with them!!! here are the puma's i have

^^^ I wear those to drive too. They are suppose to replicate driving shoes, just without the fire proof material. I just wish they had alittle more arch support. I have also used wrestling shoes, but those had squared heels, which isn't nice on long drives.

DC made some really nice driving shoe's for a while, however, they were a limited time thing. and only so many pairs were made.... to-boot they were the colors of the 3 camo STI's that were in the gumball rally.

on the old subi forum i was on Ken Block chimed in and said they were going to start making racing shoes again.

good news if you like your DC's

Same here, but DO NOT walk any futher than you have to in them. it is worse than walking without shoes on. I wore them arouund boston this summer while I walked the paul-rever-red-line-british-are-comming-trail. I could not walk for 2 days after that. Excellent for driving though.

I use the Piloti DTM for autox:





I prefer the mid-cut style and the shoe fits great. Great for heel/toe and overall a good feel while driving.

I have those Pumas too, but I think they are horrible driving shoes. The soles have very little grip and I have to constantly adjust my left foot to modulate the clutch pedal. Also, my right foot tends to slide off the brake pedal when I try to heel and toe, but thats partly because I have small feet. My 5 year old nikes do a much better job.

I have the piloti Prototipo and they are really Comfortable. I love them. They may not look that great but they feel beter than all my other shoes.
