I came to look for some ideas for some shoes to do my Uber driving in. You saved me some money as I realized I had your #1 pick in my closet somewhere already and busted them out. They're part of my "uniform" now.
Not a single at all mention for the Puma “Speedcat” lows or mids. These are a casual clothing brand with racing history also 16 out of the 20 drivers last year wore this model driving shoe that was also capable of long pit walks outside the cockpit. I got the Puma Speedcat Ferrari Corso versions and they are absolutely beautiful in the suede/ faux red and signature Ferrari logo. Definitely give them a try people!
Whole reason why this video gets credit is for that last mention. Stumbled across some Tigers in 2011. Realized they felt better for driving than anything else. Plus they look good. couple dozen pairs later, and I'm still buying 2-3 a year if the right color combo pops up! The The Onitsuka Tiger Serrano are also a great shoe as they have a lot more flexibility. That aside, I have to take a closer look at those New Balances. Look proper to me !
That really is surprising! A dress shoe with an elevated heal? Come to think of it... I had an old pair of buck shoes with rubber soles that ended up fitting so well that they would have been a great driving shoe. Thanks for the insight!
As said below, I'm quite shocked that such a well-spoken, smooth-talking, intelligent individual such as yourself isn't soo much more subscribed to!! You made a topic that I am new to, and marginally interested in, immersive and a cool learning experience! Will definitely look into some of the mentioned shoes to purchase. Best of luck for the channel!
Very useful suggestions. I like the fact you gave a green signal to loafers and boat shoes. They are very comfortable to drive in. I expected Puma BMW or Scuderia. Seems there is a good reason they didn't make the list.
Appreciate the compliment! I tried to stick to shoes that weren't designed specifically with driving in mind, but the Puma definitely makes a great set of kicks.
100% agree... I wanted to put those, Adidas Sambas, etc on the list but didn't want to over-load it with the classics. The real question is... high top or low haha?
Any thin skateboarding shoe is great for driving, all your vulc vans, emericas, nikes, fallens, lakai, etc, or thin cupsoles like Nike SB Force 58, Nyjah's, eS Accel Slims etc. The ones which are more uncomfortable to drive in are the thick bulky basketball or skateboarding shoes like the Air Jordans, Dunks, eS Accel Og's, Etnies Faze and shoes of that nature. In reality those bulky shoes are made for impact protection, which isn't always suitable when it comes to precision with the pedals. You would know how hard it is if you've ever tried to drive manual with snow boots.
Try Xero brand. Zero drop running shoe. Slightly wider toe box than Puma speed at, which is good for heel/toe shifting in a car with standard pedal spacing.
I think he should have mentioned -Vans authentic- after they wear in the pedal feel is amazing and a little less rigid than the old schools making them more comfortable -Adidas sambas- alot both they are a soccer shoe they are very durable and share similar build design with some of Adidas old racing boots they used to make -Puma speed cats- literally racing boots in a low top style. They feel horrible when walking in pebbles but they are designed as driving shoes having all the hallmarks one needs
I prefer light weight, loafer style, well ventilated, flexible leather but not suede which leans me towards European or Italian versions of driving shoes.
I skipped the shoes that are literally made for driving... wanted to think outside the box a bit and give people some options they might not have thought of before. They're great options, though!
Thanks for watching! Speedcats are great, but I didn't include them because they're basically purpose-built driving shoes... I wanted to think out of the box a bit and give people options that they might not have considered. I'd love if the video was sponsored, but sadly... not quite there yet. Feel free to spread the word!
Women's fashion is not really my area of expertise, but I'm pretty sure the the vans, toms, adidas, saucony, Swims, Altra, Onitsuka & Merrell are all unisex. Hope that helps!
Hi James, I am Shang, I just received email from Ian, but I am confusing now. Do you want me to make a document only and don't you want me to work on your project anymore? Just tell me correctly what you mean? I am waiting for your email. Thank you.
mexico 66's are by far the worst shoe i've ever worn. why anyone buys them boggles my mind, the inside of them literally has no padding its just this hard scratchy material. Ultimate 81 Tigers on the other hand is one of the best i've ever worn and a great driving shoe
Skateboarding shoe = good driving shoe because of its design to feel the board better which allows you to do the same with pedals
They are too thick for precise footwork
@@michaelip1569 depends on what skate shoe
The heels of skate shoes are not as rollable
I couldn't agree more with you
vans and converse
I cant believe such a quality review has gotten such little attention
Feel free to spread the word!
Same

I listened to this while driving in my old school vans and my heels were numb/falling asleep too!
Yup

I own a pair of Mexico 66's and i have to agree. They're amazing for driving, especially when driving on the local mountain roads :)

Forever Converse All-Stars for me. I especially like the "knit" line, even though they've become nearly impossible to find.
Finally someone recognizes the Saucony Bullet for the great driving shoe that it is.
Surprisingly my Calvin Klein dress shoe are really good for shifting. The shoe is long and low to ground so you can really feel clutch grab

Converse All Stars are a timeless design and check all your boxes for what makes a good driving shoe... they have always been my favorite.
100% agree... I wanted to put those, Adidas Sambas, etc on the list but didn't want to over-load it with the classics. The real question is... high top or low haha?
Amazing production and useful information! Thanks for putting out such great content
I've been rocking Puma Astro Kicks but I'm considering upgrading to the Speedcat
If you want that racing shoe look, you could check out Sparco's street shoes as well... They're sharp.
Quechua hiking boots NH100 mid are surprisingly really good for driving and really affordable too.
All winners! Little late to the party, but completely agree with these. I tried the new Piloti shoes an like them... but not budget friendly.
this video felt like it had thousands of viewers if that makes any sense
It makes sense, and I'm taking it as a compliment haha. we're just getting started!
converse chucks should be on the list
Chuck T's are absolute classics... Completely agree that they are a great driving shoe. Tough choices to wittle the list down to just 10.
Good advice!
Appreciate that! I hope you check out the other videos on the channel!
Puma Super Liga shoes. Indoor soccer shoe that is great for driving with a thin sole.

What do you think about xeroshoes? I know I'm 3 years late.
Yeah Onitsuka Tiger!!!
I think he should have mentioned
-Vans authentic- after they wear in the pedal feel is amazing and a little less rigid than the old schools making them more comfortable
-Adidas sambas- alot both they are a soccer shoe they are very durable and share similar build design with some of Adidas old racing boots they used to make
-Puma speed cats- literally racing boots in a low top style. They feel horrible when walking in pebbles but they are designed as driving shoes having all the hallmarks one needs
Great advices. I agree with most of the shoes on this list
Got a new subscriber here
@@nguyenblake8905 Thank you!!!
My pick is onitsuka tiger Serrano
Under my feet hurt from using slippers 🥺
Man, sick beard 👍
Why this video doesn't have a million views?
haha I'm working on it! Always appreciate a share ;)
That’s an excellent beard bro!
Sadly, a recent heat wave lead to the impulsive decision to shave it off.
@@boxcarvisual RIP lol
Heh, I came here looking for an alternative to my mexico 66. I do like the look of those New Balances though, cheers.
Great review.
Hey its Connor McGregor Car Enthusiast. 🇮🇪 🚗 🥃👟

The best driving shoe ever made
ARGENTINA CARAJO
What about the speed cat from Puma?
Is Chucks 70 vintage canvas worse than old skool vans?
I prefer light weight, loafer style, well ventilated, flexible leather but not suede which leans me towards European or Italian versions of driving shoes.
Thank you, sir!
Thanks for watching :)
Got mine on lol
Most shoes make my back ankle painful when driving for long, so I wear Crocs for now…
was thinking we’d see piloti or adidas
Love the piloti shoes... but they're kinda already made for driving. Seemed a little unfair.
new balance 996?
11:15 I see you are a man of culture as well
Good to talk about such subject but.. Puma.. Sparco.. ?
I skipped the shoes that are literally made for driving... wanted to think outside the box a bit and give people some options they might not have thought of before. They're great options, though!
Puma Speedcat.
👌
Puma?
where are the puma speed cat low cat & etc??? even sparco has a special edition made by puma... clearly an sponsored "review"
Thanks for watching! Speedcats are great, but I didn't include them because they're basically purpose-built driving shoes... I wanted to think out of the box a bit and give people options that they might not have considered. I'd love if the video was sponsored, but sadly... not quite there yet.

I wish there was a similar video for women driving shoes recommendations :(
Women's fashion is not really my area of expertise, but I'm pretty sure the the vans, toms, adidas, saucony, Swims, Altra, Onitsuka & Merrell are all unisex. Hope that helps!
Hi James, I am Shang, I just received email from Ian, but I am confusing now.
Do you want me to make a document only and don't you want me to work on your project anymore?
Just tell me correctly what you mean?
I am waiting for your email.
Thank you.
I can confirm vans do not make for a good driving shoe.
they do for me ‘cause you can feel the pedal
Me using Vans Slip-Ons and barefeet: 👁👄👁
Barefoot drive is better
No its illegal u fool
you are moving your body alot
mexico 66's are by far the worst shoe i've ever worn. why anyone buys them boggles my mind, the inside of them literally has no padding its just this hard scratchy material.
Ultimate 81 Tigers on the other hand is one of the best i've ever worn and a great driving shoe
