Default Official Track Shoes Thread

Hi guys,
I have my first track day in May and I need some leather driving shoes to replace my current, tattered autox shoes. My only requirements are that they look presentable so that I can wear them anywhere, that they be low tops, and that they have a very thin sole. What are your suggestions or what have you worn that you liked? The thread that I found was about 4 years old so I just thought I'd start a new one
Thanks!

EDIT*** Feel free to post any "driving shoes" that you wear to autox or the track, and what you like or dislike about them!

Alpine Stars. Love them. Not very comfortable to walk around in. But super form fitting, with great, thin, high feel rubber soles.

I have used the Puma "Drift Cat III" for about a year. I like them slightly better than the Piloti "Prototipo" I used before. I had to go with the Black/White colors to match the CR

Not sure if you are joking, but I also prefer to track/auto-x in Chucks. This is of course when fireproof shoes are not required.

I was very disappointed with the Piloti's that I purchased a year ago. They were labeled as "driving shoes", but they had so much padding you could hardly ever feel the pedals when heel toeing. I can't remember what model they were though.
