Your white Puma ones look similar to the ones in the pic I posted.
Doesn't look like you have a big shoe size mate so you're spoiled for choice.
No mate only a 9 for me. The Puma ones are not as comfy as the Reeboks to be honest.

A little late to the party but this Sparco model is what I've worn for the past 5 years or so:


They can be source in the UK here:

They are very comfortable for all day AutoX driving, and comfortable enough for walking around at auto shows, track events, etc. My wife thinks they look goofy, but no more so than many casual shoes IMO.

Sadly, they are not flame retardant, so cannot be used on-track at many events.

Thanks for the recommendation @Redcon1.
I bought some Alpinestars Karting boots at the weekend from Demon Tweaks in Wrexham.
Tried them whilst sat in the car in their car park, felt ok so I bought them.
After only 20 miles on the way home had to pull over and put my plimsolls back on.
My right foot kept getting stuck on the brake pedal, trapped on the under dash trim :meh:.
So I'm going to return them and stick to the cheap plimos.

Steve.

Just removed the small under dash trim so now there's more than enough room for my canoe sized trainers :D.
Should have done it ages ago as you can't tell it's missing unless your head is on the floor.
Still need something with very thin soles for better pedal feel but now I have more options.
