Hi all,

Would anyone know where I could find Piloti driving shoes in Melbourne?
They are available online from QLD (http://www.theracingroom.com.au/pages/p_standard.asp?pid=60) but I would prefer to try a pair on for fit.

Cheers,
Marco.

Nice shoes, big money though.

I think i'd settle for some alpinestars
Rust, nah that's not rust .... its iron oxide!!!

I am interested in checking if any of their models feature a wider sole.  I find most pure race shoes seem to narrow for my sub-standard heel/toe technique.  Rather than hit the throttle pedal with my heel, I prefer to do so with the edge of my foot in-line with the ball of my foot (or thereabout).
I would pay a little more if I could find a suitable shoe.
Any suggestions?  Apart from the obvious one of "sort out your crappy technique".

I know it doesn't help with your desire to try them on, but these Piloti shoes are pretty reasonably priced brand new on ebay, most around the $50-60 range, but then there's shipping from the US.    At that price it would almost be worth the gamble.  Might get a pair myself, they look really good, and my preferred Converse Chucks are getting a bit thin on the sole.

Bingo Sheldon.  I found a pair for AU$85 delivered from the States on eBay.
