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've run autocrosses in steel toed Timberlands on more than on occasion. A friend who was going to his first autocross asked "what shoes do I wear"? My reply "whatever you drive to work in everyday". My thinking is, that when I change boots (I have a few pairs of hiking boots and such) it takes me a minute (or a day or so) to get used to the new pedal feel and such. So, I just autocross in my "drive to work shoes" and I've had no issues so far.
My thoughts, your results may vary. |
