Never really had dedicated shoes for open track days and autocross. Besides fire retardant, any major differences between wrestling shoes (cheaper) and driving shoes? Any brands to stay away from due to quality or comfort?

I did wrestling shoes for martial arts for a long time. (Twelve years full contact.)
You can get Adidas for 29 dollars all day. The only problem with wrestling shoes is the ankle on the shoe is meant for your ankle to be bent forward. Not the right angle for driving. They might be okay for autox, but any long drive it is very uncomfortable. (been there done that.) The driving shoes I've looked at seem to be designed for travel in the other direction. Maybe more expensive shoes are better designed. I guess my point is make sure they are confortable for standing it too. Unless you are always in a ninja stance then look at the ankle.
