I always wondered who would buy these types of driving shoes. I never really bought into the whole driving shoe, not even for track or autocross. They just seemed to extreme and on the same level as using a Sparco suit, I'm just not at that level yet. I find that Converse to be great for pretty much everything! Reading this thread makes me feel like I'm not missing out.

Anyways I'm not trying to be an arguing ***** but having had pumas and still no shoes as thin as the piloti's I have it makes me laugh. Having skinny bird feet they are also by far the narrowest shoes.

Maybe we should take some measurements or something eh?
Gee I don't know, by look and feel?

The pad on the inside of both my pairs were pretty thick and cushioned. The sole looked to be about 1.5cm thick.

My Adi shoes had about a 1/4" pad and the sole was a cm thick at the forefoot.

My vibrams have even thinner pads, maybe 1/8" thick and the sole is only 6mm-8mm in all. They weigh nothing and completely flexible. Only socks/barefeet are better in feel.

And when it comes to driving shoes, that's all that matters since I'm not a pro at work, where a nomex shoe with ankle support may be needed.

Piloti makes so many casual shoes, and most people wearing them are wearing the casual ones. Like two versions I had.
