Question about the Pilotis, what size do you guys wear in other brands compared to the Pilotis? I might be ordering some in the (very) near future.

In 3 years I've had two pairs, and my first ones were worn through the soles--though I can't get the nerve to chuck them yet.

Those are the exact Pilotis I have as well, and I love them. They are SO comfy to drive in!

I had the chance to try on different sizes 3 years ago at an event where Piloti was sponsoring. Not that I'm growing or shrinking--but I wear a size 10 Piloti and my normal shoes are between 9.5 to 10. I don't wear any other brand of driving shoe so I can't comment.

I think they run normal. I wear an 8.5 to a 9 in most shoes (nike, adidas, asics, rockport, reichle, etc). The Spyder size 8 fits me fine, no problems, but the Monacos, Prototipo, and one other are size 9.

I would say, go with your average size and order them that way, the Spyders tend to run about a half size bigger, but they are narrow, so it works out. My feet are narrow, so the size 8 fit me fine.

jeremy- you will want to get one size larger than 'normal' shoes.
between many manufacturers, i wear between 8.5 to 9.5. im a size 9
but they all vary. (griot's rubber washing shoes at 8 is still slighly too
big ).

i wear a size 9.5 for Monaco's and G16 Pilot's and 8.5 for Buffalo2's.

No one can do a photo show like OG!!

Good thing you'll be here in a couple of weeks, Richard. You can load up your MINI with Piloti's. We have the Spyders in 3 colors, as well as the Monacos, DTMs, and G16s (although mostly Spyders).
