i've never tried speedcats but i've got pair the orange ones to match the tangerine dream and find them really comfy and nice drive in. i use them on night events and spot on for that

[BIGS]

ideal just what i wanted to know. ill be getting the blue and white ones then :D

speed/drift/future cats from "The office" "schu" shops and le roudette (spelling) catalogue.

Some sport soccer places might have them but you will be lucky.
I've got 4-5 pairs of various speed/drift/futures as they are damn comfy, look good and work well in the car :D

[matt_vaughan]

Sounds daft but I've found those 2 pound odd Genuine Cedarwood (Primark :D) slip on pumps to be great for driving in, can even heal toe pretty well with them

Yea i remember a old thread you said about that. ive looked but cant find them anywhere. So seen these a thought they look the same shoe. And ive been speaking to someone else and they said about OMP Racing 2 aswell. But think im going to get the pitlanes anyway as i loved my speedcats and would wear them anyway

You can get them in black, white or even orange iirc lol

They'll last 1 trackday then give up though, so dont bother lol

[BIGS]

Ah ill leave that then, and i want them in blue/white so they are out anyway lol

[dj_wudgey]

best shoe for driving is a worn in pair off reebok classics lol

[Adam]

Just get some cheap thin soled trainers. The kind that Diesel/Adidas etc do.
Good pedal feel.

At Combe last year i did a few of my sessions in my steel toe-capped work boots as it was raining and my trainers got wet lol lol

I have been looking into buying some of them puma's too, there nice.

Or just use worn sole shoes as Adam said..

This is a pair of gola (converse style low tops) there worn well in, you can see how thin it is now as I'm pushing my finger in the sole, they were £5 lol

Jd sports have Speedcats on offer at the moment :D

I got a pair of ferrari ones for £35 but peeled the prancing donkey logo off them. Cheapness :)

[MK999]

Just looked on the JD sports site, seems speedcats come up as womens footwear?! lol

[Stuart]

lol

there are about 3-4 different types of the same concept.
Speedcat
driftcat
futurecat
and some other one

Its really pants that the nice looking brown speedcats are womens only :(

You star im going on there now to have alook :D

[MK999]

They have them on offer online but I went into JD sports in town today to see what I liked and they're all marked up at £70!

[Ash]

I have some puma future cats. good shoes. Really nice soft leather. Not an out and out driving shoe tho..

Purchased from here (http://www.auctiva.com/stores/viewstore2.aspx?id=281753&page=home&search=future)

[MK999]

Got some drift cats today, they are on offer in JD :) They're pretty comfy atm, have thin soles but seem quite hard too? Haven't tried driving in them yet as my car isn't on the road (tomorrow I hope :D) but they are quite tight on my feet even being a size bigger than i'd normally, and I usually have to do laces up so tight that the leather on both sides touches lol So I wouldn't recommend them if you have wide feet at all!

[Welshy]

dont bother with all these hi tech ones, it sounds chav but hear me out, reebok classics, are extreemly comfy for driving as you can feel the pedal and know whats hapening through your feet, just a thought and my opinion
welshy

[MK999]

As sad as it is I tried a few 'pedal movements' in them on the way back on the bus and the curved heel on the back feels great.

I haven't driven anything in a month, gimme a break mmkay lol

[Stuart]

I have fat ass feet and the puma cats are fine. They hurt after a day of wearing/walking round (such as a beer festival/shopping etc) but for a few hours/track days they are spot on

[BIGS]

Yea the speedcats are nice but as you say on a full day it can hurt abit. but the drift cats i dont find as nice. I tried some on and wasnt happy tbh
