Piloti - a stylish driving force
Stylish petrol heads need to put their foot down to Piloti, the driving shoe specialists that take performance footwear to the next level.
The term "driving shoes" will more often than not conjure up an image in one's mind of a leather or suede loafer with a pimpled rubber sole. Tod's, the Italian footwear maker, has become synonymous with the driving shoe, but wouldn't disagree with the statement that hardly anyone drives in them. No, that particular style is more for gents' summer wardrobes than pilots of the prancing horse. If you're serious about your driving, then you'll require footwear that combines the finest natural fabrics with patented driving technology so you don't put a foot wrong.
As performance driving footwear Piloti know well, a driver's most important tool is their feet. Yes, the hands navigate him along his predestined course, but his feet determine how soon he gets there, and if you're into your cars, you'll most likely want to arrive as soon as mechanically possible. That's why Piloti has optimised each of their driving shoe silhouettes for maximum pedal feel, fluidity of motion, and comfort while driving. The secret is in their craftsmanship, and stems from a combination of their patented technology and best-in-class materials.
Firstly, there's Piloti's EVA foam inserts, which provide both cushioning and support to ensure that each step is as comfortable as the last, and each thrust of the accelerator has optimum feel. Secondly, Piloti's patented Roll Control 2.0 technology offers a full 180 degrees of motion to ensure maximum pedal-box precision. And finally, Piloti's driving shoes maintain a soft forefoot to allow effortless pedal feel, without sacrificing comfort or support.
Piloti have developed their collections not only as racers but also as connoisseurs of quality and style. This philosophy - an uncompromising appreciation for both function and form - is what guides the design process, ensuring that every Piloti driving shoe offers an optimal balance of performance and aesthetic.
