Piloti DTMs for under $40 !
A great price on Piloti DTMs from the Sportsmans Guide - $29.97 ! Normally $110-$125 this is a great mid-height driving shoe. I have owned a pair of DTMs for the past 10 yrs. and they're great. Reinforced right shoe for Heel & Toeing, great for track, de, ax, or just driving. For under $40, this is certainly the best driving shoe deal I've seen.
Nomex lined, on the hottest of days, they can get a little toasty on asphalt, but anything under 90+ degrees, and they're fine. Most comfortable pair of shoes I own, and I own a LOT of shoes.
With S/H, you're in for just under $40, and only 1 color is available - LeMans Blue / Gray / Black, a pretty nice combo, not as wild as Blu/Yellow.
They also have the low-rise Spyder SV on sale for $39.97 in a less appealing Black / Red / Yellow color combo (IMHO). This shoe is not Nomex lined, but still a nice shoe.
At this price they won't last too long. I just snatched up a replacement pair as I'm 5 yrs. into my 2nd pair now. My size was backordered 2 weeks, but at this price, I'm OK with that (not charged until they restock). A friend also got a pair, and his size was in stock.
Check them at: Piloti DTM

Thanks for the "heads up". I have two pairs of Pilotis; they are by far my favorite shoes.

Thanks for sharing man! They list the regular price on their website as $75 for this shoe. Doing a quick search on the Internet though I couldn't find the Piloti DTM for less than $110. That's a pretty good deal then! I bought myself a pair for autocross.

They only come in men's sizes and my shoe size translated to men's is 4.5. Their smallest is 8.
I would like to take a long moment here to be frustrated and to feel sorry for myself.

I have only owned the DTMs and Monacos and these fit very true. I am a 1/2 size and found you can go up 1/2, but not down 1/2.

Those aren't skin lesions, they're love blisters.

Got mine today as advertised. Very comfortable, very true to size, very red...but then again, so is my Boxster...
I think these will make great summer driving shoes; will be trying them out tomorrow. Just need to find women's sizes next for my wife. Again, thanks for alerting us to this sale. Bob in C Springs

I already have a pair of the Spyder SV Driver Shoes (in gry/bk/ylw) and the fit seems true to US size. Very light and very comfy shoes.
