Do You Have Puma Driving Shoes For Your Bimmer

THE JEDI · 03-07-2011, 04:57 AM

I was just wondering what you wear when you drive your bimmer..I mean special shoes...I have two pair of "DRIFT" series Puma's I love while I'm running my car up north..they don't slip off when I am doing heel and toe driving and they look good and in the sea of "NIKE" and "ADIDAS" I like standing out....but man they are not really meant for walking....

schwank · 03-07-2011, 05:38 AM

Ive got a pair. I really like them. I wear them when I'm not going to do extensive walking, but some walking is ok.

THE JEDI · 03-07-2011, 05:45 AM

Thats 2..anymore

SCHMOUPE · 03-07-2011, 08:56 AM

I actually have a pair of Puma BMW driving shoes. The irony is that I bought them before buying the Z and I have not worn them since I have had the car. I should find them

tekmoe · 03-07-2011, 09:32 AM

Puma? No.

whitejdm · 03-07-2011, 09:43 AM

I've got a pair of the Puma Sauber F1 driving shoes from BMW's last season, and a pair of Sparco Race in black. In practice I wear the Pumas on long trips and casually, while the Sparco's are only for track days or quick sprints up/down mountain roads.

On a side note because it's along the same topic; I used to wear alot of M clothing when I had my 325is and 335, but ever sinse I got my M coupe I can't stand to wear them anymore..weird?

BTM · 03-07-2011, 09:50 AM

Adidas Samba II

mousitch · 03-07-2011, 09:54 AM

Have a couple pair of the Puma Jago II's. Not really their driving shoe but super comfortable and a great shoe for driving. Try driving with a pair of Ecco boots. Cant hardly get to the gas w/o hitting the brake. Not fun. Here are the Puma's I'm talking about.

trsbmw · 03-07-2011, 10:00 AM

piloti prototipo. They work well for me.

BlackMoupe · 03-07-2011, 10:11 AM

I need a pair...I use my converse haha....

Nikki · 03-07-2011, 10:12 AM

I have the BMW Sauber F1 Puma shoes.

Hawkeye · 03-07-2011, 10:44 AM

Driving shoes? Pretty much whatever I am wearing are my driving shoes. The ones I like the best are probably my Adidas Copa Mundial Indoor soccer shoes. Great grip, and a lot of feel.

Thisisdudewhoru · 03-07-2011, 10:47 AM

Have a couple pairs of Piloti's. A pair of Asics like the style of puma's you guys wear and a set of Oakley race shoes that are nomex lined.

+1 Yup always loved how indoor shoes feel driving

r4gs · 03-07-2011, 11:00 AM

my driving shoes - pair of johnston and murphy calf leather loafers in medium brown

Jbs · 03-07-2011, 11:52 AM

Am I the only person that can does this shit in their everyday shoes?

Maybe if I track I will pick up a pair of driving shoes... I just cant see the need (i wear converse if im going to the canyons etc), although a pair of driving gloves may come in handy!

You're not alone, I rock these from time to time and still manage to parallel park my M. Although it is rather comical with all the unnecessary revving that results from it.

Well yea, I don't think anyone is literally changing their shoes to drive to work. But for premeditated drives, HPDEs, shoe selection is certainly a valid consideration to take.

FerRrari · 03-07-2011, 12:12 PM

I have 5-6 pairs of Pumas, I don't really consider them "driving shoes" though (like Pilotis are) I wear them every day to work, unless it's summer and then I'm wearing sandals.

Puma Jago's are the only shoes I wear when I can get away with it. Durable and comfortable. Good selection at "Finish Line".

whitejdm · 03-07-2011, 12:59 PM

Actualy if you're serious about driving you need a pair of Chucks from Converse.
Just like this guy

3002 tii · 03-07-2011, 01:06 PM

i know they're functional but i can't help but think of the guy rocking the velour jumpsuit whenever i hear puma's... at least how it is in jersey, haha
