ive got some mahusive feet and im going for a test drive to mk on sat and its been advised to get some smaller shoes to me usual vans ? me local shops are a bit crap for choice im wondering where everyone else has gone for there shoes or what kind they have gone for? has anyone gone for racing ones or is it a bit much when normal shoes do the job?

i was thijnking the classic look trainners or maybe the slipper style ones i see all the young uns whereing nowadays, some thing thin ish if i can

i have size 10 feet and normally wear skate shoes like Vans and yes they are far too wide!
i'd go for some narrower ones with a thin sole myself, or else you will be mashing 2 pedals at once!

I have 12 or 13. It's good getting shoes actually - no need to choose, just go into the shop & you HAVE to buy the only pair they've got. I'm doing a book locost & reckon there's just enough room to hit one pedal at a time. As was pointed out some shoes are much more suitable than others

only thing ive driven in them was a landy tho so cant really say what itd be like in a locost lol

Keep a look out for "factory outlet" type shops, theres a Puma outlet near us and they had the replica racing boots for about £15 in unusual sizes they couldn't sell
Not sure if they went upto size 14 but they were certainly the larger and very smallest sizes they had left.

Me and me dad are size 10 and 11 and wear either these style boots or the Addidas Goodyear trainers.

We can get away with other trainers but its much better with these and no hair raising monents when you get both pedals

I've got size 13 feet and I took my unused christmas present on my test drive, yep slippers.

While your in Sheffield pop over to MAC#1, they square off the footwell and Colin will offset the pedals to give you more room.

This was one of the few cars I could operate the pedals in.

i have a couple pairs of the pumas, i like them.

They're called Speedcats.

adidas tuscanys for me (the goodyear soled ones) size 10, 100mm at the widest part of the sole, like i was wearing at newark.

they've got a rounded heel, which suits the driving position of something 7 stylish, and the thin soles give really good pedal feel. slippers would appear to have very similar properties, and for about a tenth of the price of mine.

if you can't get any proper driving shoes, i'd seriously consider some slippers, a bit of gaffer tape over the top to keep them held tight on your feet too.

looooooooool gaffer tape !!! bad tom ! lol id cruse up in my kit car looking cool in my shades people are in ore, thinking wow then i climb out with feet wrapped in gaffer tape ! :/

ill just say i swapped my shoes for the shinny chrome grill at the front

i brought some size 13 addidas jobbies a bit tight and look like a pair of chav slippers but they are pritty thin so should do the jobbie on sat
