Driving shoes, who is wearing them?

Racers, I am curious. Are some of you wearing a driving shoe that is less "bulky" than your work or street shoes?

Yup, Simpson. Lighter and more comfortable especially on hot days! Jim

Been using Simpsons for about 5 years now.Light and good pedal feel.They're about $90 at Simpson booth at national events.
