Where can I buy driving shoes near Santa Clara, CA?

It's been a while ....

...

Hello everyone,

can someone recommend a place near Santa Clara where I can buy some driving shoes (Piloti or something like them)?

Over Xmas I'll be visiting my old neighborhood, and would like make myself some Xmas present

Im in the same boat, the pedals on my elise are killing me. I've been having to use some old puma shoes I had laying around just so I can drive around. I've been looking online but would like input on which shoes are better then others.

It's not exactly near Santa Clara, but it is closer than MSI (near Sacramento).

I just purchased a pair of A2ZRacer driving shoes from MSI in Roseville. Great shoes. You can see them at http://a2zracergear.com/.

I believe that MSI will ship to you.

For track use, I actually use wrestling shoes, available at your local sporting goods store.

Amazon.com has a huge selection. IMHO Pilotis need to be 1/2 size larger than normal shoe size.

Is this the guy that brings a trailer full of race gear for sale out to events? If not, does anyone know the guy I am thinking of? I've seen him at several auto-x events and I am pretty sure he is from the campbell area.

Kaeding Performance is near Hywy 17 and Camden Ave. The family has been around Super Modified and Sprit Car racing for three generations.
