gas and

and i

so

on the

> OMP Hi-Top shoes, exterior made of suede and nomex interior.  They work
> incredibly well with CH pedals especially since it's made of carbon fiber
> sole for increased rigidity but without the loss of pedal sensitivity.
> Quite expensive (200$), but heck since I can't race anymore, I re-use my old
> racing gear ;)

> I always run in a pair of socks.  Running with shoes on does not give
enough

to

> If your serious look into a pair of Simpson Racing Shoes.  I think
you can
> bye a pair for racing/every day life.  They are really soft but
durable
> shoes, I know my friend has a pair.  They make good real life racing
shoes
> and would probably work well for sims.
