Honestly didn’t really how much force your putting into load cells. Find the heel and ball of my feet aching often may get these.
I upgraded from T-LCM pedals to the Fanatec Inverted V3s and I needed shoes or something other than socks because they were hurting my feet.
I ordered the Sim Hound Shoes and did encounter a slight delay because my package was lost, I contacted them amd they had A+ customer service, they waved the shipping cost amd were in constant communication via E-mail with me up until the shoes arrived.
The shoes are great, thin, breathable, light and very comfortable. My foot feels better not and I can use the proper force when driving.
Great shoes, I use them daily they are almost 1 year old and they are still like new.
They do have a little funky smell from the long sessions but nothing some foot odor spray doesn't fix.
I highly recommend these of socks just are not cutting it any more.
You don't even notice your wearing them when driving, but if you go to log some laps with out them you will notice your inputs are much different than while wearing the shoes.
Still using cheap watershoes and they are perfect for the job.
At 30 quid these are over priced. I paid £7 (including postage) for Hot Tuna beach/surf shoes from Ebay which look identical a month or so ago and do an excellent job. Definately worth a look for less than the price of a decent pair of socks.
Cheers mate!
Was going to say they look the same as the feet protectors you wear on the beach
I also use Hot Tuna beach shoes. Perfect for the job, and 7 quid in Sports Direct 👌🏻
@@pt4635 I just bought a pair of hot tuna today but I found my feet kept slipping up the gas pedal on-off throttle: each time I apply gas the grip of the shoe will pull my heel closer to the pedal as well. Have you experienced something similar? I am using TLCM pedal.
@@michaelmak866 I've not had that personally, but I guess that could depend on the angle of the pedals and what the pedal plates are made from. I have the Fanatec CSL pedals with the standard plastic plates, and my pedals are raised towards me, so there are almost pointing straight up.
And as with everything in sim racing the gloves and these shoes are always out of stock. I’ve never once in a year seen them available to buy.
Hey, we are sorry you’ve been unlucky but we have had stock coming in regularly throughout the past year.
We do work hard to keep up with demand and had good stock levels from September through to Christmas.
We currently have them available to order on pre purchase with the stock due in the next few weeks. This way you can secure your gloves and shoes and save 10% in the process 😃
I bought a pair of watershoes with a firm sole in Greece last year. They were €10 and are doing a great job.
Same. Water shoes and mountain biking gloves are the way to go.
i grabbed a pair of these along with the gloves, and must admit i really like them, the gloves are ok, they do lose the little red grippy dots on the fingers quickly but for the price still an amazing buy. Looking forward to see what Simhound do in the future!
It's actually something i have been think of recently. Especially with the new load cell coming tomorrow.
I've refused to let anyone wear shoes on my rig since I got it together. Unfortunately it doesn't feel as good in just socks but it's kept everything nice and clean. I've looked a few times at racing boots/shoes and just couldn't justify the price. Wouldn't mind a pair of these just to have a dedicated shoe, as after a few hours of running, my feet tend to hurt lol. But I might look into the beach shoes as an alternative as well.
Wha....why
Why would you not let people use shoes on a rig?
I have a pair of "Hot Tuna" water shoes (less than 10 quid), they are great BUT they don't breathe at alllllll. I think they are made of neoprene or something that is very hot feeling. What material are these? You say breathable but they look like neoprene to me lol
Me too! You can now get two pairs for £15 online! Easy to slip on and off, super comfortable and durable. I’ve had mine for one year and they look close to good as new.
I've no idea but it says breathable in the description?! 😆
The Heel design is poor, needs to go up the back of your foot at least another 20mm. Your heel ends up sitting on the ridge between the sole and upper, and it moves around.
A real rubbish, first use and the rubber that joins the fabric is broken, €50 is a real robbery. better to use pool shoes that are worth €12
I have feet like a duck so finding ANY shoe that fits is like hitting the lottery. Right now I'm using cheap Amazon water shoes, but the soles are not stiff enough. These might fit the bill.
Thanks for the review, I’ve been looking into getting a pair of sim racing shoes so this really helps 👍🏼
Good timing!
I wear a pair of moccasins for the “Senna in an NSX” 80’s vibe
I also got a pair of these for my new csl load cell pedal. Had them for a month and love them!!!
Excellent to get some feedback!
Look like $10 water shoes off Amazon.
30 quid some people will buy anything 😂😂😂😂 they remind me of a jazzy school pump to be honest.
Mate compared to the Sparco ones I bought these are half the price and twice the quality! lol
Perfect timing, my sim racing slippers are falling apart and annoyingly they were a random cheap buy that i can't find again so will get a pair of these. I think the added bonus is when they wear out, I should be able to buy the same shoes again and not have to adjust my feet for new soles!
Edit: I think your review has been popular, damn all of you with size 8 feet, I'll have to wait for a restock! lol
lol typical!
Baby feet man I am size 11
Nice video , didn't even know these existed. Pool /beach shoes have been my go to.
Sim set up looks nice , I need to go back and watch your videos about the upgrade you did. 👍👍
Looks so natural I forgot you just started wearing glasses lol
That’s what I like Karl. No nonsense and straight to the point 👌. Thank you once again
I bought some Lonsdale Camden slip ons for under 30 quid. Rolled heal and they look the part, the sim hound shoes really do look like beach shoes.
Ps I hope your eye is doing ok.
Aren't these basically just water/surf shoes with Sim Hound written on them?
Good stuff! Cheers Carl. Might grab a pair of these.
Decent!
Hi Karl, bit off topic but I’m wanting to get a DD pro but have little room so trying to decide on playseat challenge or GT lite and can’t decide? I’m shorter a person and thinner than most. Here in Australia both on sale GT lite is $329 and play seat challenge is $399 what would u recommend? Love ur videos mate thanks Frank.
The PSC is the smaller of the two Frank, so maybe that would be the way to go for you?
@@KarlGosling that’s what I’m leaning towards too Karl! I actually just came back from a next level store and sat in a GT lite and it seems good but the chair was too big and leaning too far back for me so didn’t feel comfortable. There was no rig attached as they had flight sticks on it. They kept pointing me to the wheel stand 2.0 but I need to buy another chair for that as I don’t have one suitable.Thanks for your reply Karl I appreciate it.
Hi Karl hope your well. Been checking your videos out recently as I bought a wheel for my son. I also wanted to buy him a rig and have a budget of 300-400. What would you recommend for someone who is growing but currently around 140cm tall.
Thanks
GT Omega ART or Titan are both good options, the Titan is more rigid and a little more money.
@@KarlGosling Thanks buddy do like the titan but think it's Out of Stock at the moment. May call em and ask what the expected date they will be back in stock for.
Keep up the good work 👏
Hot Tuna Aqua shoes are what you want at a 3rd of the price
I race in my water shoes that I bought for my vacation in Mallorca. Have been using them for about 5 yrs. These look similar...
beach shoes are sooo hot, hate that from using those.
These shoes outside material looks kinda sweaty. Aren't these hot and sweaty as well? Does foot breathe good enough?
Oye, nice I'm going to look into these. Been using an old pair of Assics wrestling shoes for some time now. Was literally looking just a few weeks ago for something new. Think I'll click the link. Thanks for your review. Noice legs 😉
I use boxing/wrestling boots, great for driving.
Gonna give these a test run though.
Lol cheers!
These are way overpriced. The sole is exactly the same as my beach shoes which just cost me 20AUD
Very cool. I use adidas tai kwon do slippers. They’re twice the price, just as flexible but don’t have as much of a rounded heel nor are as breathable.
I ordered a NEW T-LCM set on Amazon last Thursday. When I got them today they sent a used T-LCM set without the extra springs and accessories. But before putting them back in the box to be sent back for a replacement I used them for two hours on GT7 .
What I will have to get used to is the long travel of the brake because with my CSR Elite pedals there was a very short travel in the brake pedal.
Whoever had them before had the black springs on the brake pedal and it felt almost as stiff as the CSR Elite pedals I have but with a whole lot more travel.
After a few races though the pedals felt so much better than my d CSR Elite pedals and I was able to control the car way better than before.
The Fanatec V3 inverted pedals I just upgraded to from the T LCM pedals are 1000 times better all around man.
I just got the DD 8 NM, inverted V3 pedals and the T LCMs are toys.
Not being a jerk but I never knew what I was missing.
They allow your to control the throttle so damm well and the breaks feel real .
@@mrj3217 I had Fanatec CSR Elite pedals with years before I got the T-LCM pedals. They were better than the T-LCM but the break pedal was on its last legs which is why I changed them. Plus I was using a badhetboard adapter to connect them to my T300.
I had a bad experience with fanatec customer support years ago when they were selling the Porsche wheel based. So I swore I would never buy another fanatec wheelbase again.
Also I'm sure my Playseat Challenge would shake itself apart if I put an 8 base on it 😂
Gotta be honest, I popped in Sports direct and grabbed two pairs of water shoes that are awesome for this.. cost £14.50 for the two pairs. Great what these guys are doing, but I think these are directly aimed at people that need to have the direct link to sim racing and happy to pay for the privilege
the foot movement is amazing :D 2:36 great video
Lol cheers!
What’s the sizing like? True to size or loose as they are comfy fit?
Sorry should have mentioned that, sizing was spot on for me!
Cheers Karl for coming back to me, appreciated :)
I ordered the 44 Eu size so hopefully should match my other shoes all sized as 44s!
Thanks again
Is it just me missing it, or did you not mention the price?
£29.99 mate, I'm pretty sure I said it?! 🤔
@@KarlGosling you probably did bud. Just me missing it, joys of bickering kids
Any chance of a GT7 review?
Wow, those glasses give you a real old time east end gangster vibe. Put on a sharp suit, walk into an east London boozer, and you'll probably drink for free.
hahaha maybe I'll give it a go! Dust off the Tommy gun too! ;)
I honestly just use my puma speed cats.
Yeah why not!
I’ve been using these with the fanatec load cell since they went on sale (got them for £25 in a new release offer), really comfy, dead easy to slip on and off when you want to race. Can still feel the pedals just enough and they feel really solid on the soles. Been using the gloves too and they are really solid too.
Great to hear mate!
I ordered a pair of this shoes after seeing some reviews on RUclips (yours included), and they are good because the sole is thin and they are fast and easy to get into BUT :
- they are not really adapted to a formula style position, the rubber at the back of the heel is not going up as much as I need (my calves are almost horizontal in my seat) so the heel is not as comfortable as it can be as it rests much more on the back
- because of the precedent point, the part around the heel rubber on my left foot is already showing wear signs after one week of use
- last but not least, I just found shoes on Amazon that have the EXACT SAME sole and shape as this ones (they really look the exact same, instead of the piece of fabric on the top with the Sim Hound logo and the honeycomb texture look ; I tried to put a link here but my comment were removed because of it) and they cost 3 times less than what I've paid.
So, paying 3 times the price for a piece of fabric added on top with the brand logo on it makes me grit.
TL;DR : I'm bothered that I've paid 3 time the price for the same shoes found on Amazon
Lol send me the link
@@naterod I would but each time I try to put a link in a RUclips comment, it gets removed :(
@ What's it called?
@@siIIiest "Joomouney Chaussures d'eau Femmes Hommes Chaussures de Plage Chaussures de Bain Chaussures Pieds Nus" on the french one
i paid less than £10 for a set (unknown brand) but had really good reviews. Fit like a foot glove and look exactly the same as these Sim Hound sole pattern.
