Does anyone know where I can obtain Puma Pit Cats from?

And before anyone makes a joke about finding them anywhere from north west Canada to south west of South America, I do mean what shops stock these shoes.

Hey Matt, I've got a pair of Puma Future Cats which are very comfy and I find that they're great for driving. Try looking for them at places like Rebel Sports or Foot Locker, Athlete's Foot might have them too, those kinds of shops. Maybe Myer, they stock Puma stuff too. :)

Might be called Speed Cats now too although I wouldn't be worried. A good leather/suede upper, flat sole shoe with good feel and narrow sides is all that's needed for a good driving shoe. The pumas at $80 are a pretty good shoe for the job if you can find them. 8)

A $40 pair of cotton overalls will work fine. You don't need FIA boots either, just closed in leather/suade shoes, Puma Pit Cats for $80 will be perfect. These items will be perfect for everything except actual CAMS sactioned motor racing.


You can actually get ex- US air force flight suits on eBay for $50. Not FIA approved (I assume), but the fire-protection is just as good. Search for "Nomex flight suit"



That is a really, really cool idea. Not to mention cheap.
