Oakley's new boot
Anyone worn these yet?
Im worried their "comfort sole" will axe any pedal feel.
I'm thinkin about scoring a pair. They look pretty bling bling! downside is that they are selling for around 250 a pair!

Re: (Racerboy03)
you gotta be kidding.
I use a $25 pair of wrestling shoes for drivers ed. I actually like them better than my OMP shoes (which cost about half what those pimpy oakleys cost). For racing I have to use the OMPs though

For the track I have G-Force shoes because they are good, comfy (7 out of 10) and well priced.... but for track days and non-competition I use indoor soccer shoes.

Re: Oakley's new boot (rice_classic)
Those Oakley shoes def. look like they've got too much rubber on the bottom for technical driving. But, then again, can't tell for sure just by looking at a picture.

I just got a pair of these... haven't used them in a cross yet, but the pedal feel is nice and the soles are really grippy on the pedals, must be all that good year engineering

Worthless for driving, great for the garage.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Yea, I got a pair that after two years of hard abuse, I am looking to replace . I wore the bottoms out on these. They held up amazing. I would still be wearing them if the rubber didn't wear out. The seude is still in good condition it hides oil and dirt really well . for blue suede shoes.
