I wear them all the time now and the sole is very soft and is wearing down quicker than I'd like
I think with any Pumas you kinda have to wear 1/2 to 1 size bigger just to have the perfect fit haha But yeah the Pumas wear down quicker than other shoes if you do a lot of walking. I am doing ok just because I have 6 pairs of their driving shoes haha but it's a good excuse to buy new ones those looks good btw!

My feet are the same size as yours, I squish them into the Pumas and just swap them out if I have to do a bunch of walking. I had the toenail on my big toe turn purple and fall off from wearing them for two days while walking around at a track weekend but if I wear shoes that fit then it is hard to hit just one pedal at a time.

I bought a pair of Sparco Speedway's and they have worked very well so far. Not very comfortable outside the car but on the track they had great feel and grip which helped my heel toe.

I rock some old Kaepa volleyball shoes, they actually have everything a good driving shoes has:

- Super thin sole so you can feel the pedals.
- Smooth high grip rubber (Goodyear Indy 500 series).
- Rounded heel
- large fillets, rounds, along the entire sole.

They dominate, and look pretty good in black.

I like my Puma Kart racing editions (the ones that the left foot says brake and the right foot says power on the soles). they're not bad. But my favorites gotta be my nike total 90's. (indoor soccer sneakers) thin,flat sole with lots of grip...
