Default I can't find any shoes.

So tonight I decided that I wanted to buy a nice pair of driving shoes. I hop online and start searching for Puma Speed Cats and find out that they're no longer made. Ok, no problem, they have something called the Fast Cat that looks similar. Don't have my size. Couldn't even find any at the discount/overstock sites. Ok, well how about Piloti Prototipos? Piloti has, evidently, gone out of business. No one has any stock left. Damn it.

Who makes good driving shoes? I'm partial to the suede style that seems to be non-existent now.

I purchased a pair of blue suede Puma Speed Cats, should be here in a couple of days. I'll post up a review when I get them and try them out.

I've also been interested in getting a nice pair of shoes for driving in, but how comfortable are they for other activities? Are they comfortable enough to wear on a daily basis or are they shoes that you ONLY wear when you want to drive?
