Lightweight driving shoe?
Can anyone recommend a nice lightweight driving shoe with breathability? I wear flip flops here in Florida most of the time and end up driving barefoot fairly often which needs to stop.
Thanks! Max |

I have a great set of Puma driving shoes that are very breathable. They have a ton of mesh. Problem is I don't remember the name of them. I will check when I get home.

I assume you're talking daily driving shoes,but if not,these are light weight and breathable.

I use the Vibram 5 Finger shoes.
Don't laugh, I'm serious- they are minimalist, super lightweight, and maybe only 1/4" thick. I can really feel the vibrations thru the pedals now. I know they make several versions, but the Trail Running shoes have the thickest & stiffest soles. With these you can really do some Heal-Toe driving. (rimshot!_)

I got a pair of cole han shoes at an outlet mall for about $100. They are light and have Nike soles so they are comfortable to walk in also for long days.

Pumas! Best driving shoes I've had. Speed cats are good.

What are the benefit of a driving shoe? As a football and basketball guy, I get the benefit of the right shoe, but for the life of me can not grasp the need for a dedicated driving shoe over a good sport shoe in a normal car. I can understand that a wide shoe in the narrow foot well of a race car could be a problem, but in a street car...kind of drawing a bank!
