Im noticing all my shoes are painful as shit whenever I drive for long periods of time. What do you guys wear when you drive? Do you wear specific shoes when you drive your car or do you just wear whatever you have on?
I needed new sneakers so I just ordered these (pic related) because when I googled driving shoes, people said to wear light sneakers
Tl:Dr - What does Veeky Forums wear when they drive?

This, all the time 5/5

Protip: your driving shoes should not be the shoes you use to walk around in or do work in. They don't have to be "lolracershoes" but they should be comfortable, breathe easily, and have a very thin sole for maximum feeling through the pedals.
So what you do is leave your "driving shoes" in the car and put on your "work shoes" when you're done driving.
Easton Stewart
Congratz you just bought fake nikes for a real nike price.
Zachary Lewis
Textile vans are gud for walking and driving.
Matthew Lopez
Flyknit 4.0s
Thin enough sole that I can get accurate report from the clutch/pedals, comfy enough to walk around in. Not a full-on driving shoe, but still nice enough to drive in.
Tye thicker the sole, the harder it is to feel the pedals/clutch.

Robert Miller
I pretty much main puma suede's all the time, timeless design IMO.
Stiff low-profile rubber transfer good feedback from the clutch and are wearable for daily use.
David Hill
light and comfy as shit, nice pedal feel
Cameron Jackson
I just checked cuz I do make those mistakes sometimes but I got these for $30 and the nikes are $60 so really, I could get two of them for one pair of nikes
Josiah Jenkins
Is there any other choice?
Elijah Baker
Puma makes some really nice every day driving shoes check them out
Connor Gonzalez
Perfect for the upstanding tracksuit.
Julian Williams

Jonathan Peterson

Jackson Lee
I only wear glorious German shoes when I drive my glorious German car.
Aaron Perry
are you a girl? i've only seen girls wearing onisukas
Owen Robinson
Or just any slippers that will only be worn inside your car and at gas stations during your trip. Moccasins are comfy as fuck.
Michael Stewart
I wore a pair for most of last year. Great driving shoes, on par with .
Wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything else when driving a car.
Blake Brooks
These. Light, narrow, good feel. 10/10 would buy 3rd pair.
Dominic Hill
I like the Nike flyknits for driving. The flexibility of the sole and mesh makes for a very connected experience, especially when a clutch pedal is involved.
Tyler Phillips
How gay would it be to buy these to drive on the street
Nolan Adams
I have a pair similar to that, the thick soles make it kind of awkward. Thin soles give you better pedal feel
Dylan Roberts

Brody Evans
>What do you guys wear when you drive? Workboots. Composite toecap
>Do you wear specific shoes when you drive your car or do you just wear whatever you have on? I have a pair of specific 'driving shoes', but that's just for when I'm going somewhere that might be muddy. Literally the cheapest trainers I could get on Amazon. 99% of the time, it's my usual everyday workboots.

Owen Kelly
that doesnt look grippy at all
Luis Bailey
Tbh I wear crocs a lot, so I drive with them as well, sometimes I take them off to drive barefoot. I very much like driving in fivefinger shoes, much better feedback than sneakers.
Nicholas Thomas
So the general consensus is that Adidas sambas are the way to go?
Oliver Evans
low sole/rubber like (actually my fav for driving) or just some basic flat bottom vans/adidas
my clutch and brake pedal have those bump things. weird feeling on the toes. I drive barefoot on the random occasion I have to wear dress shoes.
Jack Ortiz
Shame they're only worn by south americans
Parker Walker
This is retarded
Tyler Collins
I have a pair of these but they are made by champion. They are terrible. Especially driving stick. The shoe just bends around the pedal. I wear vans sneakers when I drive. Don't wear these or boots
Asher Collins
Superior feel.
Kevin Thomas
Holy fuck, those shoes suck for driving.
Leo Scott
I walk, drive, run, climb, hike, and skateboard in the same pair of New Balances, dedicated driving shoes aren't really necessary unless you're seriously racing, in which case things like fire proofing need to be taken into account.
Carson Evans
Do you also wear driving gloves and wear a helmet?
Adam Johnson
pabst blue ribbon shoes
Logan Flores
These
Jayden Ramirez
How so?
Cooper Ross
thick soles
Wyatt Perez
Speedcats
Leo Clark
I wear Macbeth shoes like this, only cost $30 (in Australia) and they're great for driving in. I also wear vans or Nike/Asic sneakers
James Jenkins
I have some first gen nike free weird to think how they are being aped now
make note that shoes with a heel off set between 10 and 15 mm are good for running in strait line but for little else unless you are on your toes when turning
segmented shoes have gotten a little better but there is still a way to go
Jordan Cook
Any ideas how to spot the good ones?
Apparently newly produced Sambas are total shit.
Does anyone know if the ones made in Indonesia are better than the ones made in Vietnam? Or the other way round?
Hunter Thomas
they are an outmoded form of volleyball or tennis shoes the good ones are made of four types of material glued and stitched together as a bridge between the fabric and the base
soul- edging strip- toe cap- just to name a few
the cheep version has the soul cast and attached to the fabric as one material but this is now the most normal type
Jayden Evans
a fatal flaw of this type of shoe is wear around the end of the 1st and 5th metatarsus the edging and toe cap septate from the fabric round this place independent of other wear patterns on the soul (fore foot in careful movers) (big toe and back heel in careless movers)
Asher Edwards
What are those
David Nguyen
These are Sperrys
Nathan Barnes
Porsche x adidas ultra boosts
Nathaniel Barnes
I use vans slip ons. Having a rather large foot, finding a non invasive shoe is even more important.
Wyatt Hernandez
wow, do you nerds wear racing gloves too?
Charles Stewart
can confirm, bought me a pair last night because mine were worn to shit, very comfy shoe and nice clutch feel
Julian Sullivan
Any show with a rounded heel is great.
Andrew Watson
some of them are out of production pla type 65 encompassing a number of shoes as do many other brands in terms of size shape and construction depending of their location of manufacture
Jack Diaz
>wearing separate driving wear and not a onesie
fuccbois step aside
Gabriel Sanchez

Samba is always the answer.
David Flores

Hudson Reed

Luke Taylor
Leather sambas?
I need new shoes anyway, so I figure I may as well get a pair that drive well
Lincoln Butler
Get the Originals, m8
pic related Lighter and have a thinner sole than the long-tongued ones. Also flatter (no arch support).
The arch support on the samba classics were really uncomfortable for me, even after I removed the foam supports they still hurt.
Zachary Davis
barefoot 4ever
wearing shoes whilst driving just doesn't feel right to me t.bh
Levi Flores
80's as hell.
Owen Richardson
...
Julian Barnes
They're fucking awful.
Cost about the same as adidas and nike, chinese build quality, the sole started craking after 6 months, and the rubber reinforcement of the back got split in two even earlier.
I'm gonna go back to adidas after this.
Matthew Turner
i like your style
Nicholas Miller
Plenty if you could stop guzzling semen for a minute.
Dylan Evans
>doesn't wear based chucks I'm sure your sketchers look great on the bus
Bentley Bell
>max comfy I didn't even realize how good they were for driving until I tried using more conventional gym shoes or (god forbid) work boats.
Charles Lee
bro chucks are basically sketchers these days.
Jackson Morales
I do this. I use my fancy lacoste shoes walking everywhere, and in my starion there are waiting my 7th grade shoes beat and widened to hell and back that weigh like feather and have a thin fucking sole. God, it feels so good driving in them.
Jordan Cox

Legit have heel & toe wear from driving & karting with these. Skate shoes master race.

Caleb Long
>anyone who doesn't wear my faggoty shoes automatically wears sketchers
Cameron Price
im talking about regular chucks. thats 8th grade tier.
people pull them off with fits that cater to chucks, but not as an everyday shoe unless you're still 15
Joseph Lopez
>gays, mostly >prove me wrong
>yfw making this post [puts on chucks, drives away]
Asher Bailey
What did he mean by this?
Chase Harris
Nope. That wear pattern indicates you walk with your toes pointed outward. Similar to how a fat person slovenly walks.
