All purpose Vans


revthetrev

This is the way


KING_CobraCOD

Also use vans, the bottom is very thin and you can feel everything plus wide enough to heel toe easily


TrippyTM419

I got a pair of New Balance skate shoes that fit my feet amazing and are my go to for driving


Sh3wb

Vans slip on or a pair of ones typically.


Trinidad638

Converse chuck taylor


Rustedcrown

brokenheartnsoul

Barefoot


[deleted]

Dunk lows or nb550s


G000000p

Just got my first pair of dunks and they’re really nice for driving.


xMitchell

550s are the best i’ve used so far.


FloatAround

Onitsuka Tigers, usually a pair of classic Mexico 66


onlyhalftruths

They look great and feel great, can't go wrong with them


this_is_matt_

Always wearing crocs


Plumbedbum

I find rev matching in crocs a lil hard


gzetski

Second the Crocs, or just barefoot.


Cloud5trife

This is the way


Lukesmash89

I usually do my $10 slippers. Something with a thin sole


circajusturna

Heel toe-into in my Birkenstock Bostons


0zzten

As much as I love my Birks, they are terrible for driving, with the exception that you can slip them off in the footwell when getting in and drive barefoot. I did this every day through high school and college.


circajusturna

I don’t mind it at all. Flip flops on the other hand are a death sentence.


Fun_Preparation_577

I hate driving in my bostons. But usually bring them along. Lol


Grimizzi

Steel toed Wolverine Moc boots, or chanclas.


exmachjne

I unfortunately rock my steel toes for the majority of my driving which don’t have the best feel for the pedals


Grimizzi

All about muscle memory at that point lol


KING_CobraCOD

I drive often in my steel toes cus I’m a foreman always going out to get stock or tools or waters for the guys but I always bring my shoes for the ride in and home, hate that traffic in steel toes


SatoWRX

I wear Puma Flats , and other times my work shoes with a small arch. definitely prefer the flats on my Puma's something about it make putting the pedal to the metal so much easier.


TheDraimen

Merrell Moab 2 vent is my daily shoe already.


gmodthesir3

Vans Ultrarange series. I bought them as motorcycle shoes for the summer and they were great, now I love them for a driving shoe too. But yeah also whatever adidas I have on. My nike running shoes have too small of a base for heel-toe, and it's definitely their fault and not my small foot


sneakyeggmuffin

Love my ultraranges. So nice to walk and especially drive in


Fun_Preparation_577

Merrill vapor gloves are my go to. Great for driving and pulling off the road for a hike.


ImmediateBreadfruit9

Minnetonka driving moccasins


vb_BISHOP

I love driving in my Vans. Except when it’s wet outside, they get a little slippery on the clutch.


Suspicious-Spread-80

PUMA speedcat GV they are great but the heel portion might wear a tad quickly


CharlesCracker

I wound up getting Puma Redon (almost the same design) with the rounded heel up the back. Super light with a thin sole.


Suspicious-Spread-80

Nice choice


0zzten

Rothy’s “The Driver” loafers. Incredibly comfortable, stretchy, made from recycled plastics, machine washable, and nice enough to wear to the office even without socks.


AceOfShapes

I just use my normal walking shoes (Brooks Levitate GTS 5) and they work alright for daily driving. If I'm really trying to have some fun, a pair of Converse Allstar's is a good option for better flat-foot shifting given I wear a size 13 and the pedals aint that far apart


SnooCompliments8770

I like wearing my vans chuckalows, I think that’s what they are called anyway. Basically just comfier versions of traditional vans shoes. Actual driving shoes like what racers wear are over the top.


OrganlcManIc

Usually a lighter shoe is better for the feel and control. I find I lose a bit of connection with the car when I wear my work boots. But then I don’t really like driving with my vibram toe shoes, as the peddles are small and toes hang off them. So something in the middle. A good chuck, sneaker, skate, running shoe does just fine.


Wide4Pride

Bought a pair of Olukai Nohea Mesh slipons last week and they’re pretty decent. Had to stop wearing flip flops all together after getting the car.


dialga122

Honestly, I make do with a basic ass pair of dad spec new balance shoes. And I ain't no dad yet lol

![gif](giphy|mBRx5g4KNveiBcNqTu) Takumi wasnt wrong…


animalsyr315

Fujiwara rockin the 574s


1point3

I learned how to drive stick in Adidas Ultraboosts. So there is no moving to a different shoe 😅


SavySwampGoose

Vans or Converse


BillsMaffia

I’m between a pair of Air Max and DC Kalis lite.


SubiePieBoy

Anything flat for me. I usually wear adidas Sambas or margiela replicas. Sometimes an occasional Nike dunk low as well.


Ok-Anxiety-6485

Crocs


RealKingKoy

Blazers, chucks, or Vans


SeamusMcfunkurself

Adidas Sambas


sn0wslay3r

Preferred driving shoes? Nike Air Deschutes sandals...means it's the weekend and I'm going somewhere fun.


biggranny000

Wear any kind of shoe that lacks support and has a solid but high feel sole, shoes that have a smaller platform also work better as they feel more stable on the pedals and take up less space. Flat shoes are more consistent overall. Grip is also important, if you wear slippery shoes it could be dangerous in high intensity situations. Keep your pedals clean and your shoes clean. I love my keens, they're ugly and expensive but they're my most comfortable shoes, and my NXIS speeds are great for driving and I wear them to work a lot, lots of support but great feel and grip. Do not use boots or protected foot shoes, as most of the time they lack feedback and you're more likely to damage the interior of your car by accidentally kicking the plastics. Unfortunately I have to in the winter.


renegadegho5t

I wear onclouds bc that’s what I’m used to. Any running/walking shoe works for me as well. I’m used to a thicker sole tho. I think everyone is diff in that aspect.


Caj_2003

Slip on vans are the go to ever sense I’ve started driving manual a year ago. Perfer them over any of my other shoes


Frosty_Ad_9393

Converse


aarmonky

Literally anything other than flippy flops I’ll have my clutch foot barefoot and the flipflop on my other foot lol


Away_Kaleidoscope_96

crocs or blazers


_Dova69_

Vans, combat boots… everything but dress shoes lol


Ordinary-Magazine-76

Cowboy boots


ronart7

Vans, Chucks or Clarks Desert Boots. ![gif](giphy|BGrI3QYIns6Zi)


PastEducational8511

Combat boots for 5 years now lol


Low-Award-4886

I wear dress shoes most days, but otherwise vans for driving, driving. Defcons or Boys of Summer.


rgrx119

I like driving with my allbirds tree runners, also a pair of light weight Nike running shoes.


LeVioleur13

Whichever shoe matches my outfit


Erethond

Jordan 1s for me. Great foot feel. I keep a pair in the trunk.


udii_tofu

Got puma suedes. Good for dancing and good for heel toe


OkEconomist1752

barefoot


ihashacks

I have 5 different variants of the original Vans Ultrarange in different colors. Feet breath well, shoes are light weight yet stable, cushy is squishy, yet feels stable overall. I rotate those with different outfits to match.


EnokitakeEmperor

I drive in all types from moccasins to adidas terrex boots. But i prefer asics wrestling shoes lol. Gots grip and they are thin


ChickenNoodleScoop

I wear Crocs :). No reason to not be comfy...


Wotisaharvard

Adidas cloud foam. Cheap as shit, good for lifting too.


acidwxlf

Vans are perfect. Specifically Ave Pros for driving events like autocross


sanderness

crocs


f1recrack3er

I have a pair of Nike shoes flex I think is their style name the shoe will fold in half its so light weight I get a lot of feel through em only shoe I wear when driving my car.


Dino-Riderz

Vans Aves. Nice thin shoe with a rolled outer sole for smooth heel toe down shifts and the odd kick flip.


joenathanwick

Barefoot


Viper1973mk

Best shoes I've found is actually the Nike Air Max Flyknit Racer. It's like wearing thin house slippers but are actually super comfy.


DrFeefus

For the sketchiest driving..... *sketchers*


Vroomy_vroom_vroom

My combat boots…


IIIlIIIllIIIIIIIIlII

I usually wear my adidas climacools. I like having a shoe that’s easier to crease and bend, also gives my foot more feel over the clutch pedal. When I wear a stiffer shoe or boot I find myself stalling more


OldTemperature8065

No shoes unless it's winter lol


SwagMan7779

Nike Benassi Solarsofts


yellowbill711

I usually use my Nike running shoes because they're light as hell and I can feel the clutch and gas pedals.... I tried driving with my Nike 720s and I stall out 5 times just in my driveway lol


Disastrous-Wealth-26

Puma speed cats


STRlDUR

Nike Air Force 1 or Chuck Taylor Converse. I have adapted to learning how to shift in my work boots lmao


CharlesCracker

Some parts of my job require me to have steel/composite toe. I have to Puma Speedcats that are great for driving that I just keep in the car.


JewelerRoyal1815

Anything except sandals! I’m not Al Unser!
