Driving Shoes

Post by RxCritical »

Is there anywhere local that sells driving shoes?

Thanks,
Paul

Do you need them fire rated?

If not, hit up the indoor soccer section of your favorite sports store. Indoor flats make great driving shoes.

For fire rated stuff, I'm not aware of any local stores.

Thanks anyway!
I didn't think there was a local source.
I hate buying shoes online as they usually are not quite the right size.
I will look at the indoor soccer shoes as a alternative. Thanks!

I've got size 10 pyrotect and puma shoes, both are designed for driving, the pyro shoes are fire rated. You're welcome to try either on before buying. I've had to order both pairs online

Were they basically true to rated size?

Wrestling shoes are another option if you don't need fire protection.

They all seem to run narrow to me, so I buy a half size up typically.

The Puma outlet in Tanger (Sevierville) has a decent selection.
