Laurence Wilson Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Speed Cat or Circat or ... Anyone have a pair; are they any good; are they really necessary for Sevening™ ? I'm considering purchasing a pair for myself and ignoring anyone who takes the pee eye double s. I bought a second pair of shoes in as many months yesterday that really aren't suitable for driving (even a lowly Punto), so decided I may as well go the whole hog. I wish my old Airwalks didn't have a hole in them 🙆🏻 Peardrop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Bill Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I have the mid boot from sparco. The laces are crap and the leather cheap, but they are good for the car. When these die I shall get these as I tend not to want to walk around in them so as to keep them clean and dry. Happy shopping! ☹️BB ☹️ *smile*Vorsprung Durch Armco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V7 SLR Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Bought my wife the Sparco/Pumas. They were less than half the price of my Stand21 boots and whilst I'm sure they're not nomex, they look better made and... well... better all round really.

Myles Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Oooh, get yoooo... I've got the Puma (Sparco) Replicats. I've worn them all over the place and they are looking a tad scruffy now - but they're great in the car and haven't elicited any strange glances from the non-sevening public that I have noticed... I *could* take a digi-snap and post it to my website if you want. I've got them on right now and am sitting ready at my pc just waiting...

Nick Woods Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I have the Sparco k-mids as well - they are very comfy and a good bit narrower than normal shoes. And they are not too expensive Nick Red and Black 1.6K supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave hard Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 shoes? drive in bare feet or socks in the winter 😬 of course you do get strange looks padding around petrol forecourts in bare feet (well I do) but hey, life's too short to worry about other peoples views of my lifestyle 😬 Caterham 21 VHPD - one of the few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud 9 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I have found leather thigh boots are excellent for driving the se7en as they also keep your leggies warm, and I dont get stared at as much as when I wore my "red" Sparco racing boots around Tescos. I did start off with wellies but found the slap on the back of the leg whilst changing gear gave me a nasty rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Wilson Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 Are pixie boots a UT requirement 😬 As a side note, anyone know if Soletrader take returns?

Hibster. Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Rosssss is my style guru 😳 so I bought a pair of Speedcats last week, however I wasn't taken in with the Kangaroo vomit colour so I went for Navy & White. Worryingly I did spot a dude with a reversed baseball cap and baggy jeans eyeing them up the day after I got them On another tack I have a Kangaroo Poo watch and it's not brown in the least 😬 Paul Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaseb Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Merrell do as range of trainery type shoes that are small enough to do the whole 7 driving thing, got mine from Sole Trader, very comfy too Bit worried as it goes as thought comfy shoes might mean I'm a lesbium, I do hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
