Under $50 shipped is NOT a lot of money IMHO.
Susan would you mind buying me a pair then?  You know because they're not a lot of money. :devil:

Notice how I called you by the right name too. ;)

Kelu, you are so lucky to have size 12 shoes!  However the blue and white driving shoes seem to be very high in the heel?  They do appear in the picture you provided to be extremely flexible and that would be a very good thing comfort-wise, but does the flexability cause a problem in control?  I have always used a pair of sneakers for their support and also comfort.

Now, my situation is a bit more critical than yours.  You see Kelu, I have only one pair of driving shoes that I regularly use.  I am a size 15 D, however the driving shoes I use are New Balance 852, size 15 2E and I use them because they are the smallest in structure from the other New Balance Athletic shoes I own and I have grown used to the support they give in stiffness.  This thread has my interest aroused.
Yes, they are very flexible:

Yes they have a high heel, this is why I don't like them so much and I wear them without tiding them, even so their heel deformed because different position for what they were designed:

I wear these wrestlers when I'm driving around my city.

 I have another pair which are great for walking too which I use when I make long trips and they are more firmer:

Now I plan to buy Adidas Porsche which looks to me just the newer version of my brown ones:

These costs around 140$ around here, I planned to buy them 2 months ago but I didn't succeed until now  :'(

Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that he likes to wear womens under ware?  Or are those two things totally unrelated?

Sol Asylum, now I must stand up for my "Little Buddie"!  Now by your own words you have provoked a discussion that will come back to bite you.  Only crazy people make a comment like that!  Man, I am feeling it now!  You have really pissed me off, for sure!  Now, Sol Asylum let us digress for a moment, Kelu is into performance, and DeepBlueGXP named this forum kappaperformance.com.  Kelu is very interested in Racing and competitive events and his  mod list would rival any member of the forum.  I really think the comment you made about Kelu wearing women's underware to be somewhat inflammatory!  Kelu, likes things to be lite.  Speed Racers try to take off as much weight on their Kappa's so that they perform better.  That goes without saying.  All I can say in defense of Kelu is that for performance, lighter is better and makes you go faster! 

Well, by wearing women's under ware, Kelu is just following his own intuition.  You see Kelu is very smart.  Women's underwear are lighter than Men's underware.  Case Closed!!!!!!!!

Well every place I tried did not have the piloti's in stock in black and yellow.  Guess it is a discontinued color.  I decided to go with a slightly different style and will try them out.  I think these have the nomex liner as well.

So you're saying the shoes and underwear are related. 

See Kelu, GJ and I aren't hijacking the thread after all since this thread is about shoes and as you can see from Ron's comments its related to the underwear thing.  Thanks for clearing that up for us Ron, GJ and I won't feel so bad now.

This look to have the exact same sole shape and type as the ones I had. You'll need to break them in, but then they will wear out fast if you walk hard on them.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, so that is the reason Kelu is hooked on these driving shoes!  Even the word Piloti sounds suggestive as well.
