I wear a 9 1/2 in converse all-stars and a 11 in my Ipath Yogi's.

not sure which size to order.

Piloti's are a tad smaller in size vs their advertised size.

you should be fine with a 10 or 10-1/2, i think.

Woe ...

I ordered some Pilotis a month ago and no shoes

Word is quality control has gone way down and they are not shipping any from the factory until the end of November

I have to wear suportive shoes at work because I walk a lot, but the rest of the time I am in driving shoes.

I have a pair of black Adadias Monzas that I wear the most and a pair of red Pumas that I use in "casual dress" situations. Most of the time I forget I am wearing shoes and I like the simple design of them.

Got my Piloti's yesterday. They had been on backorder so others should be getting theirs soon. Someone said they run a little small so I ordered a half size larger. That made them run a little long but I'll live with it. Neat thing is they included a regular set of laces and threw in this cool key fob made out of the same leather as the shoe!

they sell leather driving shoes that look like casual dress shoes.
for your dockers or wat not pants, they should look great.

Cool. We orderd piloti's in Oct. Never showed up. I called they did say they were having "Quality Control Issues" for the November run and had to remake them. Shoes would go out the end of Nov and they were throwing in a T-shirt because of the delay.

Waiting patiently ...

These are what I use, and they're super comfortable. I just don't wear them out of the car much.

I have to admit, I like the Reeboks better overall.

I typically change to hard sole dress shoes once I get to the office, though I do have one pair of composite sole dress shoes that I'm comfortable driving in.
