Any interest in period driving shoes

I have a friend who owns a boot company in the midwest who is making period correct driving shoes for a new movie about Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles, played by Matt Damon and Christian Bale. These shoes aren't made for walking but for driving and pretty much duplicate the shoes these guys wore in their racing prime.



I'm having a pair made for me. Anyone else interested?

Period driving shoes? I was expecting them to be red.

Please, tell us how those shoes work for you. They sure look like high-quality hand-made footwear. To be honest, I have a pair of Piloti driving shoes that I never wear. They are OK for driving, but I absolutely hate walking in them. They are not comfortable, and I don’t like how they look. My favorite shoes for driving are air jordans 1 low sneakers. I love them because they are all-purpose shoes. They’re good for walking around the house, jumping in the car, driving to work, as well as doing any sports activity.
