I picked up some Pilotis on sale a few years ago and end up mostly just wearing them when working in the garage. I actually think the soles are way too thick for good feel. I prefer barefoot if possible, but I have some thin-soled shoes that are not "driving shoes" that are much better for driving.
Do branded shoes really heal toes faster, tho...gonna need some research on that.
Not gonna lie I actually can't heel toe with boots on.
One never knows when we might come across a gentlemans disagreement in the winch isle, that leads to a good old fashioned glove slap duel.
I like to keep gloves in my car in case of really hot or cold weather. If it's hot and the steering wheel burns to the touch, gloves come in handy. For cold weather, I like the extra warmth they provide while driving.Just wondering!
I was watching some old Motorweek reviews and couldn't help but notice the driving gloves along with the Fonz leather jacket in a lot of reviews. I had a pair back in the 90's, but I don't even remember what happened to them. Nowadays most "sports" cars come with thick Alcantara steering wheels, driving gloves are completely unnecessary and possibly awkward.
Does anyone still use "driving gloves"?

f*ck that
I can't heel/toe period. My leg doesn't pivot that way. Maybe shattering it doesn't help.
And wooden shoes, for better heeltoe.Leather driving gloves made sense when cars had wooden steering wheels. Now that cars have leather steering wheels, perhaps we need wooden driving gloves.
I had a pair of thin leather driving gloves when I was 13 or 14 specifically because my car had a wooden steering wheel in which there was a very slight gap between the wood and metal in some places. The pinch that could occur randomly was memorable.Leather driving gloves made sense when cars had wooden steering wheels.
