I have 4 pairs of Pilotis in 3 different styles, and I like them all.

That is correct. But original poster should not worry about the difference; no one will notice. And I love my Pilotis!! Had a pair for about 3 years and wear them everywhere; very comfortable and I like the style.

Mexico 66 is the Boutique Shoes to go!!!

This shoe is a retro of the first debut version in Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968, so you can imagine that it's got a sport, comfort, and classic feel to it.

Oh yeah, The Tiger shoes is also the sports line of the famous running footwear brand ASICS. I also wear Gucci (which is a joke for the price I paid), Ferragamo (comfortable but older style), Bottega Veneta (nice quality and comfy), and Luis Vuitton (great quality but too narrow). When I feel like dressing "young" but not down, I wear my tiger shoes =)

do you want a driving shoe or a racing boot/shoe? There is a huge difference.

If you just want a driving shoe just pick up any pair of piloti or hell even a pair of vans work great. If you want a real nomex race boot well alpinestars, sparco, puma all make great stuff. Here is what I wear on the track

Piloti's - great shoe for driving and/or walking. I have several pair.

The Michelin shoes are what I wear to work - walk a lot. Hard wearing and comfortable. Decent driving shoe but the segmented sole can occasionally catch the edge of the pedal.

Same here, I put on my dress shoes and still do a great heel-toe rev matching. I put my left heel on the foot rest thingy, the right toes on the throttle and use the shift pedals for rev matching very easy

Haha word!

I have Ecco Cairns which are a great driving shoe that does not look like a typical driving shoe. You can wear them out on the town or on a high speed jaunt.

I have the Piloti nomex shoes and nomex driving gloves. So, if the shit hits the fan, they will recover nothing but my hands and feet intact! I won't be around, but it will be a funny story for someone!

I think if you turn up to a track day with Alpine Stars like that, you have to be really good, I mean really f**king good or you'll just look like a tool.

Hmm, I better rethink my attire then, I usually go is a full Alpinestars race suit........ (I do get some extra wear out of it playing GT5 too....)

You can sometimes find them on sale on Endless.com.
Just keep in mind Piloti's seem to run 1/2 size small compared to Nike or dress shoes.
Some peole have found some funky colored Pilot's for $20 at places like TJMaxx or Marshall's.
