Does anyone know where I can obtain Puma Pit Cats from?

And before anyone makes a joke about finding them anywhere from north west Canada to south west of South America, I do mean what shops stock these shoes.

LOL@ the first page! That went so far off topic so quickly, gave me a damn good larf though! :lol:

Might be called Speed Cats now too although I wouldn't be worried. A good leather/suede upper, flat sole shoe with good feel and narrow sides is all that's needed for a good driving shoe. The pumas at $80 are a pretty good shoe for the job if you can find them.

You don't need FIA boots either, just closed in leather/suade shoes, Puma Pit Cats for $80 will be perfect. These items will be perfect for everything except actual CAMS sactioned motor racing.

You can actually get ex- US air force flight suits on eBay for $50. Not FIA approved (I assume), but the fire-protection is just as good. Search for "Nomex flight suit"
