Some chucklefuck of a mod deleted the Driving Shoes thread before I could add my own two cents. New Driving Shoes thread.For me it's the Japanese made All Star Monocolor OX. Why you ask? Well great question! It's a little known fact that Converse Japan is not owned by Nike. Means they're literally Japanes made, last a lifetime, and are cheaper than the western made ones.Also OX because I've got a fucked up ankle and need the extra mobility for the clutch pedal.There isn't a shoe on earth that can rival the Converse All Star Monocolor OX at 45€. Sure there's better shoes at a higher price, but at that price there's nothing that comes even remotely close.
>>28640742I have used (I’ve cleaned them) $30 gray mesh Vans and they work great for driving. Wouldn’t recommend them for everyday walking cuz the soles are very thin.I’m genuinely impressed with how shoes affect driving.
i just use my feet, bro, get with the times
>>28640782The thicker the soles of the shoes, the worse driving becomes.>>28640787I only do that in summer during vacations.
>>28640742this is actually the gayest thread on /o/ right nowjust wear regular fucking shoes, they do absolutely nothing unless you need flame resistant racing shoes with velcro so laces don't get sucked into gearing>>28640792>The thicker the soles of the shoes, the worse driving becomes.shut the fuck up, you're an actual faggot
>>28640805>Posting in gay threadfaggot
>>28640742I drive pickup trucks and want to feel like a big boy so I wear cowboy boots.
>>28640742>shamelessly shilling goysloppost nose
>>28640834Either botpost or you cannot read.Japanese made converse aren't goyslop.
>>28640742Simple as.
>>28640844GOATed retard (the good kind)
>>28640852Thanks, pimp.
>>28640857Take a swig champ
>>28640840>Japanese made converse aren't goyslop.My Japanese car (also made in Japan and not Mexico or the US) has been the best car I’ve ever had. I’m sure Japan can make a few lemons, but it’s beaten all the US and euro cars that I’ve had in terms of reliability and easy maintenance.Conversely, my made in USA tools are awesome. I only have one set of Japanese made tools and those are JIS bits. And the goofy chink shit small ratchet broke but I have replacements that were made in the USA.I’m going to try and find a pair of Japanese made Converse. They sound good!
>>28640844I'd never be caught dead wearing these abominations, no matter how comfy people say they are.
>>28640860it's got what plants crave
>>28640742"barefoot" shoes actually make pretty good driving shoes.
>>28640865I only wear crocs. mostly. nice boots or something if i have to
>>28641079I weant bearfoot earlier this evening because my neighbor needed to move a large vehicle.It felt fairly safe.
>>28641079they gotta come out with a pair of steel toe croots so you can be comfy on the job too
these are pretty good after you wear them down to pretty much bald. I dont like the star of remphan on them though
>>28640742Funkmaster flex driving shoes are the only correct answer
>>28640865I don't get the claim that they're comfy, because they're not. I guess they're fine if you step in puddles, streams, and rivers all the time.
>>28640834>wears onitsuka tigers like a larping faggot
>>28641079why did crocs become socially acceptable?
>>28641272He looks like a toddler that has to shit but is too afraid to ask someone to take him to the toilet.
>>28641396Tigers are based
>>28641396They aren't sold in America anymore so they now cost $120 to get them from Japan. I only use mine for special occasions now...
>>28641423Yes they are, they still have a us based online store. it's just that the price went through the roof so a pair of mexico 66's are $205.
>>28641398faggot queer zoomers who have mustaches and mullets wear crocs because they care very deeply about showing others how much they don't care about their appearance
does anyone know a good pair of driving shoes that would fit a business casual outfit
>>28641510Driving loafers
>>28641516thank you sir
I wear these, my only pair of shoes other than steel-toes. Thin, malleable soles and rounded-up heels. Good clutch feel and they bend and warp with your feet. The only better driving shoes I've had were Piloti.
>>28640742>black shoesEveryone thinks you're a busboy or work at waffle house lmao
>>28641661>Thinks his fashion sense makes him superiorNTA. Are you saying you look at what shoes people wear and "judge" them? I can't recall ever noticing what shoes someone was wearing.-Let's see Paul Allen's driving shoes.
Cage drivers want to be motorcyclists so bad with the special gear, you retards just turn a wheel and push 2 pedals like every soccer mom and illegal immigrant does it requires no skill or professional gear, just wear your sketchers.
>>28640787It's surprisingly comfy driving barefoot, almost as comfy as driving bare-ass.
These pendejos
>>28641291Yeah i own farm land and go boating. they are just easy shoes that clean and dry instantly. not wearing sweaty jeans and boots everyday like some larper or some shoe that stays wet all day
Puma did a collaboration with Sparco a few years ago. you can still find a pair online, but they are sold out. wish i would have snagged a pair.
>>28640787it's illegal to drive barefoot for some reason.
>>28641829>it's illegal to drive barefoot No it is not. Common misconception.It is 100% legal to drive barefoot federally and in all 50 states. There may potentially be counties or cities with rules against it, but I've never heard of it.Don't habeeb me? Look it up.
>>28641829I broke that law yesterday moving my car so the neighbor could move his RV. Laws are to control fools.
>>28641672Yes, I look at the environment and notice patterns, shoes being one of many examples. And you do too, and I won't let you pretend otherwise. I KNOW you can guess what the top half of this guy looks like just based on the shoes. If your pattern recognition algorithm isn't as well trained on shoes and their implications as most other people's, that is a deficiency.
>>28641672It always annoys me when people act like the existence of fashion fundamentally doesn't make sense because they personally don't go outside enough to know what the fashions are. It makes plenty of logical sense and normal people actually draw useful conclusions about others very reliably based on fashion and clothing. >all black sneakers are required for foodservice jobs>most people who wear black sneakers work in food service and most people know this>if you wear black sneakers there is a good chance you work in food service and people will assume it>nobody wants to be seen as working in food service>therefore, if you wear black sneakers you either work in food service or are very autistic and don't know people will think that
>>28641851>most people who wear black sneakers work in food service and most people know thisNope, never heard of that and it sounds mildly insane. Don't most people wear black sneakers? That's just normal. Where do you come up with this shit?
>>28641814Hey I have these. I drove with them a few times and they are nice but I don't wear them because they are not comfy to walk with
How does this work? Do you guys just wear the one pair of shoes all the time no matter what? Or do you wear other shoes and then have to change into and out of your driving shoes in the car every time you drive?
>>28641402
>>28641869Lmao food service minimum wage bitch.
>>28641046Can't wear those, I live in Frankfurt.>>28641272Kek>>28641661>Everyone thinksStopped reading there, I don't think, and I especially don't think about what people think about me.
>>28642518>Do you guys just wear the one pair of shoes all the time no matter what?Yes. I wear boots in winter but if I know that I'll be driving that day, I wear my regular shoes instead.
>>28641869Do you think I came up with it? It's literally a huge meme. Even if you didn't notice the association yourself, you wouldn't be able to avoid hearing other people talk about it if you actually went outside. >>28642757I have no clue what the footwear is like in Germany so you actually get a pass - it's possible that people actually do wear black sneakers there who don't work in food service. But in America people are laughing at you and think you're poor. I don't know why someone wouldn't care about that..
>>28640742these, but beat up over the years i've had thesethey do smell a bit thoughin the winter it's something else obviously
>>28642779>I don't know why someone wouldn't care about that..>I can't imagine not worrying about what randos think about everything I do, say, buy, and wear.Let me guess, you base your car purchases on whether people "might make fun of you" or not. What a shame.Jfc, you're actively worried about what people think of the color of shoes. Why even care?
I use the Northside Brille water shoe. Can be had for $10 each.They're not very durable but they have just the right amount of flex vs. protection. You want a sole that's soft enough that you can feel the pedals but not so soft you pussy out in slamming the brake.
>>28640742Aren't Piloti the go-to for driving shoes?
>>28643590They seem ridiculously priced, you could get nippon made tigers for that money
>>28640742I really liked wearing Minnetonka Mocassins, but my last set wore out before I had a chance to visit the US and buy more. I'm thinking about picking up a pair of Leguano (the shit?) shoes.
Steel toe cap Chelsea boots, Vans, or sometimes my slippers if I'm already wearing them at home and can't be bothered or forget to change them.
>>28641661Who the fuck even looks at what shoes people are wearing?
>>28643725I know a woman that wears heels unless she is driving.She changes shoes before and after buying gas
>>28643561>Why even care?There are practical advantages to not having people think you're poor or mentally deficient. They can give you things, want to talk to you and give you information, want to be your friend or date you, will tell you the time if you ask rather than ignoring you and hurrying away. It's also just pleasant to have strangers interact with you positively rather than eyeing you with suspicion or disgust. I'm not talking about trying to have the most universally appealing style possible, I'm just talking about not looking like a ghoul.And no, I'm not "actively worried" about avoiding looking like an autistic slob because I don't find it very difficult. It takes like 30 seconds of mental effort when getting dressed in the morning to determine that I don't, and then I don't have to worry about it at all. You probably put the same amount of effort into your appearance you just do it badly
>>28643725Bro... I'm sorry to break it to you, but about 95% of people do. Humans without autism can reliably draw conclusions about other people, such as their wealth and whether they have any mental disabilities, based on what shoes they are wearing. This is logical because you'd only wear the wrong shoes if you didn't realize other people were doing that, or if you didn't have the means or interest to avoid being seen negatively by others. Thus they can correctly intuit based on your shoes that you're either a busboy or autistic.
>>28643754Riding nekkid is fun. Try not to do it in places you may fall off.All The Gear Nearly All Of The Time.
>>28641462Oh I see they do now, but they didn't for awhile. You can still get them for $120~ straight from Japan though instead of going through their US store.
>>28641661I wear black Air Force 1s.
>>28644103N
Just wear some nice quality derbies and you'll get along in life. Something from Paraboot, Trickers, Church's, Viberg, John Lobb or JM Weston are all great.
>>28644103How many felonies do you have?
>>28641842Scrawny swaglord asian kid or Edgar.>>28644140You mean my crimes of passion?
Puma Speedcats because they have good build quality and a rounded heel. I tried buying some "barefoot" running shoes online and they were the cheapest, worst quality "shoes" I have ever seen.
>>28643754I'm rich through generational wealth. I could do nothing my whole life and be okay, and chances are good that you voted for that lol. I don't care what shoes people wear or how expensive their car is. It doesn't matter to me.Poor people worry about that shit. I'm well aware that loans exist, and I know that people who use looks and charm to get ahead do so because they suck at doing real work. Your rapper shoes and iWatch don't impress me and tell me you're bad with money. because you want to feel rich.When I see a nice car I think "that's a nice car" not "oh gee, I wonder what CHAD is driving that!" I don't even think about the meatsack driving it.When I see someone worrying about clothes and status, all I can think is "what a faggot. How sad." You'll no doubt tell me I'm retarded, but I'm not the one who thinks shoes have some special social status signalling purpose - I just want good clutch feel. I don't even have any black sneakers.
>>28645629>I don't care what shoes people wear[...] It doesn't matter to me. >Your rapper shoes[...] tell me you're bad with money because you want to feel richYou admitted that you're lying in your own post lmao. Yes you are clearly retarded.
>>28640742>$133 in nipponthis is such bullshit
Springle shoes are also good. They have a sort of rubber on the heel that holds your feet in really well. It’ll give you blisters if you walk a lot in them though. The made in nippon Onitsuka shoes are $200/pair here :(
>>28645604Barefoot shoes are sort of a scam with pricing. I assume initially it was due to low volume production, but that should be fixed now that it’s a popular thing. Anyway, using them was lifechanging for me. Felt much better, although it puts extra strain on your tendons so jumping into them 5 days/week can be a bad idea.
I've driven cars with>Socks>Sandals>Crocs>Climbing shoes>Sneakers/vans>Running shoesPersonally I really like running shoes, not the thick foamy bottom ones but medium foam ones. Really comfortable for walking and good enough for in the car.
