Steen Aero Lab is now
carrying Piloti flying shoes. Piloti flying shoes grew from a line of
products developed for competitive race car drivers. Competitive racers
have learned that just as having the right gloves and helmet contributes
to their ability to perform, the right shoes are necessary as well. When
flying, discomfort is a safety issue…no pilot needs any extra
distractions in the cockpit, especially when flying a high-performance
aircraft requiring precise rudder or brake inputs.
For pilots, Piloti’s
patented "roll control" spherical heel provides unique
cushioning while in the cockpit, extending the cushioning up the heel
and onto the sides of the shoe. Additionally, the shoe’s athletic
construction offers more under-foot cushioning, unlike other racing
shoes or driving moccasins that have little or no cushioning.
Of course, many pilots
are also "serious" automobile drivers. Piloti shoes feature a
reinforced lateral side of the right shoe for easy heel-to-toe
downshifting while driving. Plus, the reinforced upper and outsole
rubber wraps up the side of the midsole to help with manipulating the
pedals. And, Piloti shoes are constructed with only the highest-quality
suede and leather with pigskin and tongue facings. This ensures that
they’re not only functional, but also durable and attractive.
