"these are beautiful crafted shoes. The fit and shape reminds me of Adidas Sambas. Except the quality and craftsmanship is much higher. The way the sole wraps up the sides of the shoe slightly aids in heel/toe shifting. I noticed an immediate difference, making it easier for me to heel/toe shift. The sole material is firm, allowing for more direct feel of what the pedals are doing under your feet."

Love them. Will have to
"Love them. Will have to get more of them in the future. Very comfy but also supportive. Have to be the best drivers footwear ever. Match my car very well."
New fan of the brand
"Exchanged for half-size down. Super easy return process. Great fit and very nice quality. Only complaint is that the orange is much less vibrant than in marketing images…more “washed out,” almost a rust color. Still, a very nice shoe and I’ll definitely order more."
Driving:shifting/in style
"The Prototipo is a stylish shoe that is great for shifting gears with its narrower profile vs running/walking shoes. It has a flatter thinner forefoot for good feel but still comfortable to walk around in vs typical dedicated racing shoes."
"Packaging was better than expected, lots of attention to detail. The quality of the shoe shows craftsmanship that I was more impressed with than I thought I would be. Quality is top tier"
My new favorite leather sneakers!
"Driving shoes styled as a white minimalist leather sneaker is just perfect!!! They drive well, have excellent pedal feel; and then you can go walking around with it in style. It looks so good and goes well with anything you wear. Craftsmanship is well made with high quality leather, but I wouldn't compare it to a Koio or Common Projects, but definitely great enough for its price. Comfort wise the leather is supple, minimal to no break-in needed. However compared to my other leather sneakers, the cushioning is less, but good enough for long walks. These are first and foremost driving shoes after all, so I find the comfort more than acceptable. If there's an area for improvement, it will be the outsole thread pattern. I know it is trying to look like tire threads, but the one used here looks like a knobby offroad tire. A sporty road tire thread pattern I believe would look better. Since I love to drive and I love minimal leather sneakers, these have become my favorite sneakers. Period! P. S. One last thing, the fit for me is too long, I ordered half size smaller than my regular sneaker size for a proper fit."
Love these shoes! The look
"Love these shoes! The look and feel is better than expected. I drive a 2021 6-speed Lotus Evora GT and the grip/feel of these shoes with the pedals is amazing. Has really improved my heel/toe downshift."
BEST!
"I ordered the black “SHIFT” pair. Loved them so much, few days later ordered 2 more in Navy Blue & Tan. These are my all-time favorites so far! Highly recommend. Very well made and very comfortable."
Great but run large.
"Great quality shoe, but size down 1/2 to full size; I usually toggle between 11. 5/12 US, and very comfortable in 11. I also have Prototipo in 12. 5, so don’t base it on other Pilotis!"
"High quality construction and very comfortable out of the bix. This line of shoes appear to have a stiffner in the flat part of the insole which takes the stress of driving off the soles of my feet. Great color. I have a pair of blue ones that have been a joy to wear. Now if i only had my MGBGT back again!!??"
