Laguna Blue S2000 Group: Advanced Members Posts: 506 Member No.: 5,628 Joined: Feb 21st 2005 Location: Update Profile | yea if u watch the 1st stage episodes u see the N emblem on the side of the shoe. I wear them as well, not because they're in the show, but because they're really comfortable and i can easily feel the clutch when i drive.

We're the People's Front of Judea! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 13,123 Member No.: 1,355 Joined: Feb 28th 2004 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | I used to wear steel toed shoes (steel insert on the inside) but for driving i have to wear something else, cant feel the pedals as well- and since the bottom is really thick its hard to heel-toe properly at all. SO my other shoes be vans. Im not picky about shoes really, theyve always been black- black shoes go with anything. |

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 39 Member No.: 6,603 Joined: Apr 11th 2005 Location: Update Profile | I own a pair of New Balance shoes too, they're great for driving and walking long distances, not to mention jogging or running... However, once you've tried specially designed racing shoes for driving, the kind that you see on those Best Motoring Videos, its totally different, once you've used them, you can't use anything less... |
