PILOTI
Before Piloti, the idea of a ‘driving shoe’ was owned by the venerable pebble-sole moccasin. For true driving connoisseurs, the style had little substance. In 1999 came an upstart brand from Southern California blending performance and technology with fashion and street culture.
Piloti was developed by and for people with a passion for cars and motorsports, answering the call of those who take looking good as seriously as they take their driving. Piloti developed a shoe with a sole tactile enough to offer a good feel for the pedals yet sturdy enough to be worn out on foot, and as importantly, be a testament to your personal style and good taste.
From the racetrack to the road, from the driver’s seat to the city streets, we have been creating our own niche since the very beginning. Everyday enthusiasts, prestige car collectors and professional drivers have been a part of the Piloti community all along the way. Together we are seeking out the roads less traveled with style and the satisfaction of having driven the distance as it was meant to be, with passion.
“ Piloti preserves the pleasure of driving, and I credit the technology in the shoes with extending my career. ”

Details matter. On the road, smooth and precise steering inputs are all part and parcel of sublime driving. As a driver, you care about these details. Your driving shoes should come with the same obsessive care for details.
It’s a delicate balance between function and form. Every stitch, every pattern, and all of our decisions factor in how the shoes will be used in the pedal box, how your feet flex with the pedals and classic, and how you’ll wear these timeless styles that compliment your car, your wardrobe, and your style.
Where the road is straight or full curves; set among wild landscapes or amid concrete jungles. Where it’s desolate or choked by traffic. Where the limits are laws or track lines. Where the destination isn’t the cause for the journey, but the result of it. That’s where Piloti is with you, though every acceleration, every gear change, every steering input. That’s where you find a driver.
