"I’m a little addicted to Piloti shoes. Just bought my 4th pair (Prototipo). Excellent quality and like others, I sized up by 1/2 size and they’re perfect. Customer service made sure I got my military discount too, which is great, as a veteran. Won’t be my last pair of Piloti!"
"They really do help with driving! And they look great! Their fit is a bit narrow for me - driving is perfectly comfortable, but sitting/standing otherwise can get a bit uncomfortable; not enough to lower their rating though. These really are 5/5. If they were a bit wider they’d easily be my favorite shoes."
"These shoes are great. I also appreciate the ease with which Piloti exchanged the size for me with no issues and very promptly. Great customer treatment."
"They are perfect if you have large feet and a three pedal vehicle. Smaller toe box and no extra width on sole. Stylish too."
"I super love my old pair of Red Prototipo that I bought back in 2009 and even though it's worn out, I kept it in the closet till today. I'm glad you guys finally decided to revisit this series!!! Any chance you gonna make the Red color ones in suede available again? Would love to buy a few pairs of it!!!"
"No thank you . I give up please refund my purchase and send me a shipping label , I’d hate to leave a bad review"
"Size 12 was about a size 10.5 and the width was about an A. Sent back immediately for a refund. The refund was handled appropriately, although I think they charged $10 for it. Never again"
"Piloti makes excellent, great looking branded shoes for automobile brands and shoes under their own name. They fit snugly so you may need to order at least one half or a full size larger than usual. I am normally a US9 but order US10 for Pilotis. Also, be careful of the sizing on websites. Some are in EU sizes, some in UK sizes, and some in Piloti sizes (possibly same as EU). I ordered through Amazon because exchanges were easy and it took me several tries before I got my size right. I also recommend ordering Piloti socks with your shoes. They are not expensive, are well made, and add to the comfortable fit of the shoes."
"I have purchased several Piloti shoes over the years- but I ordered online for the first time. . . . it seems that the sizes are different in these new models. My foot is an 11 and there is no way my foot fits the 11 with Piloti, I am sending them back to hopefully get a size 13 that should fit me. . . . and I purchased a pair of shoes as a present for my father and now I will return those and order a pair 2 sizes larger."
"Shoes look and feel amazing"
