Griots is notoriously higher than others, but they had a short custom run on some that were a particular style that appealed to me.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I bought these. The first pair HAS to be driving shoes, right?
I could never do heel/toe throttle matching, so I got he second pair to pair to do TOE/TOE throttle matching. The only thing I can't figure out is why they have the name "Ronnald" embroidered on the heal.
I bought a pair of Piloti's a couple years ago from Griots Garage. Griots is notoriously higher than others, but they had a short custom run on some that were a particular style that appealed to me. The shoes are very comfortable and work perfectly for daily driving.
I then tried them at the track, of course, but found that they lacked the sensitivty of my real racing driving shoes from Simpson. The Piloti's are a far jump better than regular street tennis shoes or the like. They are very comfortable, and do provide more access to the pedals and a lot more feedback.
But racing shoes still provide a much closer contact with the car because they are meant for driving, not walking. The soles of racing shoes are soft. The soles of Piloti's are soft-er than tennis shoes and with no clunky overhangs, but are still designed to be every day walking shoes.
The comparison is this: A guy trades in his Camry and buys a new Mustang. He then raves about what a great sports car the Mustang is... then he buys a Porsche 911...
So, I feel that Piloti's are great
AT
the track, but not
ON
the track. They are however, much better than regular tennis shoes when it comes to driving.
Just my opinion. I could be wrong.
I bought the Spyder model. It has a flat bottom and a rounded heel. It is pretty stiff, not the compliant type that I have seen in specialty racing shoes, nor does it cover the ankle like they often do.
This model does not have any fire protection built in. I had to buy some nomex socks to meet tech in my one and only race recently.
I think it is a perfectly fine shoe for DE or just driving. Works better than tennis shoes. Probably not the best choice for real racing equipment.
The Piloti's are decent for autocross/casual driving. Any track use (which lately has only been w2w) I use the race boots/shoes, unless I'm lazy, then I use whatever I was wearing at the time..
I have the Prototipos in blue but paid full price from another seller. Reading the comments in your link, it's just totally amazing how there can be such a huge difference in the experience of previous customers. There are enough that have had problems that I won't take a chance giving them my cc number. Thanks for checking.
I ordered a pair of Piloti Prototipo size 10 last night, had confirmation last night, and rec'd confirmation that they shipped today. Shipping was $8.49.
I'll post when/if they arrive.

$50-$75 is typical
Plenty on EBAY and through online shoe outlets - I get mine from a local Puma Outlet store in Carlsbad.

Liked 'em so much I went back and got a second pair!
they do some with Motorsport specific branding, i.e. BMW and Ferrari, but no Porsche ones yet.
They do shoes that range from the 'street' models I wear - through to full FIA approved driving shoes for track use.

Tim,
When driving a giant weiner it is important to have excellent "purchase," or traction. Some guys will go barefoot, but I find that Simpson Racing shoes help my toes grip when my weiner is pushing hard down the straights. Simpson Racing shoes also offer good ankle support, though this feature is only useful when actually talking about racing.
YW. That's the point. I'm sure some guys have had good experiences, but man, so many of the reviewers were just miserable that I didn't want to be penny wise, pound foolish.
My Piloti Prototipos arrived today, as promised. No problems.
I really like the shoes and I'm entirely satisfied with the purchase experience. Thanks for posting this thread.
Hope everyone else who orders from these guys has a good experience too.
Bob
