BTR69Comfortable shoes question??
Reading the helmet thread reminded me. I've been curious about what folks like in respect to shoes when racing. Been wearing RJS brand and damm if they don't get uncomfortable about 5 minutes into wearing them. Swapping to my comfy slip on's after a pass isn't really a big deal, but if I get busy between rounds, I don't want to forget. I'm sure they'll protect my feet quite well in the event I need them to, but hurtin feet suck... What shoes do y'all feel good in when racing? Really like to have something I can wear all day and at least feel ok in.
Thanks...

Lenny5160I wear Puma Speedcats. They aren't SFI certified but they are small with great feel for the pedals.
My Nova has the stock pedals in it, but with bulky shoes the outside of your foot can get caught on the trans tunnel when you mat the throttle.

Al AlguireAnother vote for Sparcos here. I have had G Force, RJS and thew Sparcos are way more comfy.

x2 on the Speedcats - nice compromise of a regular sneaker & a racing shoe. There is a Sparco edition that really looks the part, too! I wish they came in wide sizes...

Rodney PryorI wear Sparco as well - but it was a game changer when I upgraded the insoles!

EmanHot weather have to wear shorts so slip on sneakers for the win so I can put pants on easily in the lanes or when we're called up.
