If you really want a superior track shoe, look at these. They are amazing.

http://www.northstarmotorsports.com/...productID/2113

They are superlight. Super thin sole for outstanding feel, but stiff enough so minor pedal deflection. Good side foot wrap for proper heel/toe and damn comfortable.

I have Piloti's - OK and many others, and the Diadora's are vastly superior.

I have (3) pair of Adidas--not too geeky and are very comfortable.
Piloti is my other choice (they have about (20) different kinds depending
on how much walking standing you want to do in them.

I have the same ones...

I always liked a basic soft soled moccasin such as the one at http://www.minnetonka-by-internet.co...ringedBoot.htm
Much more feel than most of the so-called driving shoes AND a bit easier for bigfooted folks to work the pedals

being the race ***** I am I really like alpinestar. But if you don't plan on doing any extensive track events they are probably a bit overkill.
