    Piloti Driving Shoes

    My Piloti driving shoes, which I've had for a few years, are coming apart!
    The front "man made rubber tread" is parting from the bottom of the shoe and the side bits are cracking. As the rest of the shoe is still like new I'd like to glue it back on if possible. Because the sole flexes, the glue would have to flex also.Any ideas on what to use?

    Thanks

    I have repaired a couple of pairs of shoes with PVC pipe glue. Outstanding results .

      Buy some thongs. Best pedal feel ever.

        I thought that they had gone out of business but it seems they are Canadian owned now.

        Selleys Shoe Goo?

            Thanks guys, will have a go at repairing them. Yes Piloti did go off the market, but being revived by Canadian Tire. Mine have seen quite a lot of use over 4 years and are the best shoes in which to drive the Porsche.

              I bought a pair of Pilotis in CA. years ago but they are just too narrow for wide Aussie feet. Have a pair of Simpson soft suede driving shows which are perfect and give great pedal feel.

              Nothing like a good feel of your pedals.....

              And Sportomatics are only 2/3's the fun. For a pedal feel that is.
