Each pair of Piloti Campione driving boots are handmade in Italy from full-grain calfskin leather, with a rubber sole designed to allow a high level of feel on automobile pedals. The rear part of the heel also curves up the back of the boot to grip the carpet in the footwell of your car, to avoid having your feet slide around during heavy cornering.

Piloti offer the Campione in sizes from 7 to 13, and you can choose between either black or tan (the latter shown here).
