For over a month, I've put a2z Racer's Driving Shoes through their paces by taking them to the one place you're garanteed to have to walk: Tokyo! They kept my feet comfortable and dry in the sometimes wet weather and even worked out well in my self defense classes.
A definite advantage to being director of a performance driving school is really a level of credibility you are able to establish with automotive related item manufacturers.
two years and still road worthy!
Tony a2z Adamowicz was called in by a2z racer gear to help design the shoes.

These Shelby shoes I got from a2z racer gear are great for driving; that's what they're made for. But I wanted to compare them with my favorite walking shoes, just to see how they'd hold up.
It's this that the blue Shelby Cobra Performance Shoe appears like right out of the box.
First off, nobody asks me about the grungy 'daily walkers' I have, but when I'm wearing the Shelby Driving Shoes, guys wind up asking me about them. With all the little Shelby Cobra touches going into the design of the shoe (the blue one is actually 'Shelby Blue'), you'd think that the driving shoe' was more flash than performer. However, these shoes fit great and deliver in performance as well. One day I wore my Blue Shelby Driving shoes with my Cobra Team Jacket (its an a2z replica of the original) and I got embarrassed because, with so much Shelby stuff on me, I got asked, 'so, where's your car?'. Meaning, my Cobra. I had to say that I didn't have one. Getting a closer look always garnered more admiration. Even the $50 Dr.Scholl shoe soles won't fit your feet as well as the a2z leather-lined sole.
The Inner Sole of the Shelby Cobra Shoe is layered with Leather, so it adjusts to a person's foot after a short break-in period.
If you've ever walked for a while in driving shoes, you're probably aware that they're not too comfortable for that. You might even keep another pair of shoes in the trunk, just for walking. These Shelby Cobra shoes won't be any trouble, like that. I walk in mine everywhere. walking, driving, its all good in these. These shoes have it all, comfort, style, quality and longevity. Because of the soft leather inside, the tongue and heel are not only comfortable, but long-lasting, as well. Usually, if you're lucky to have a pair of shoes that last a couple of years, the glue has pulled from the upper and sole and the heel. With these a2z shoes, there's no separation, no glue outside; even on the carbon fiber looking heel. The molded heel section holds your heel firm, so you're not wobbling on the pedals or tera firma.
The tyre Tread outer sole of the Shelby Driving shoe is really neat. It grips well, too.
During my test period, I wore the Shelby shoes for walking and driving for 10 to 12 hours a day, an average of 3 days a week for nearly two months. On the bottom of the shoe, there is a tire-tread design with two stripes. I thought that the design was just for looks, however, it provided an excellent skid resistant experience while driving and walking. Though, I wouldn't suggest playing basketball with them. These a2z shoes are suede leather and can't be put in a washing machine, like your old Converses. Over the 2 month period, they didn't wear much and were easy to clean with a suade cleaning kit. You can easily find a2z's driving shoes at a2z Racer Gear, of course.

Right out of the Box, these a very Stylish, comfortable wearing everyday casual driving shoes that replace the ordinary sneaker we all use to wear. I have experienced a week of traveling to and from the races with these shoes. I like the Velcro version for traveling, since you have to remove your shoes at airport security checks
