how to be a fashionable “car guy” part 2

If you have met with a group of car guys before there were likely, jorts and ugly sandals involved. Well here at culture|garage we like to push forth “car guy” fashion. We already told you about car coats and driving gloves. And if you happen to be a chick, or cross dresser, we also told you about the convertible heels. Now let’s chat driving shoes… Vans are not driving shoes, they are for people that don’t wash themselves and use skateboards and pierce their lips. While I love Speed Cats as much as the next guy, I decided to take a step into the more sophisticated (sarcasm) realm of driving shoes. Enter Clark Grips. These shoes are incredible. Extremely light weight, look good with dress casual attire or eurohemmed jeans I even managed to give them some track time this summer. I will venture to say, I like them more than Speed Cats, they are more comfortable, look better and the sole allows you to “feel” the pedals better. You can pick up a pair here.

Clark Grips > Speedcocks (haven’t wore mine in ages)

Those are definitely some trendy and good looking shoes, socks optional.

I still rock the Chuck Taylors ala Paul Walker.

I look goofy as hell in Chucks. But if Paul Walker rocks them…then you can’t go wrong.

I disagree about vans (I shower weekly) but love my Clarks Original Desert Trek’s.

Chuck Taylors are way overpriced IMO.
