I bought a pair of Piloti Stradale last year.
They're great for short drives, but NOT on longer drives.

At the top of the heal there's too much of a padding roll, it rubs on my throttle foot at the achilles.
These are the only shoes I've ever had that have done this, so I'm looking for something else.

Send them back. Apparently they had a bad production run and I think if you ask nicely they'll replace them.

Pilotis are cool because they are properly engineered for driving yet you don't look like a complete dork wearing them around.

I also like Chuck Taylors, but I've got a couple of pairs of Timberlands that make nice driving shoes as well. I wouldn't mind a pair of Piloti driving shoes, but none of the ones I've tried look good at size 15. (Hey, heel and toe is a breeze )

I rock these when I'm karting. I don't wear "driving" shows when driving the Z though. What's the point?
