The freaky thing was Pablo talked about the piloti shoes i was thinking about getting, in a similar thread to this that started almost the same time.. i had just found them on a google search that day..Maybe us S2000 owners develop some kind of telepathic power..??

If i dont buy the pilotis im probably gonna get the puma's..

Maybe these bad boys will be my next driving shoe!! lol

Gilgothdae · 05-29-2008, 01:52 PM

those toe shoes are the shit. I have a pair for hiking and climbing and wading and man I love em, you have to get used to the fit tho because they make your foot use completely different muscles. I'll see if they are any good (doubt it) for driving, plus gettin out of your car you'd be unique in your foot wear.

Neil · 05-29-2008, 02:19 PM

I'd look like a wookie wearing those !

Gilgothdae · 08-08-2008, 02:15 PM

hmm, just found those shoes again maybe I'll take a spin to test em out. I totally forgot to do that. hehe

I like these! Where do I get them?

Gilgothdae · 08-08-2008, 02:26 PM

Mine are slightly different in that they do not have the top strap but you don't need it at all, they fit snug. I got mine at Babbits outdoors supply, (think camping store, like Summit Hut or something) Pretty cheap as I remember too. Just make sure to read and follow the instructions if they come with any. basically just ease into them don't wear them for hours the first few times you do wear them. you'll see why when you get them hehe. sore feet
