I have them too. I recommend them. Puma says to order 1/2 size larger which worked perfectly for me.
BDA,
 Ordered a pair last night 😃
  I don’t need any , oops as I crash my rechromed bumpers into something. I’m all ready thinking about the neutral start switch, but I’m focused on driving it first.

I hope you like them. Of course, they aren't expensive so if you don't, you aren't out much!  :)

Things like these Pumas here are pretty good, and often cheap:
https://www.amazon.com/PUMA-Redon-Bungee-Sneakers-Casual/dp/B0BT72M7PM/ref=asc_df_B0BT72M7PM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=650254390455&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10737889279465092030&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007218&hvtargid=pla-1967642197579&psc=1&mcid=92c1aef4d20a38028dd090654ab9eaa8

I wear a 12A, which is big but narrow. I'm unsure exactly which model of puma I have, but the width is exactly right for me and they just barely fit between the brake pedal and the central tunnel in the car.  I can't really imagine finding another shoe that's actually my size that would be any narrower though.

You can do a Google search for puma driving shoes and you'll see all kinds of options. I think they're mainly targeting the boy racer market.

   Received my pair today 1/2 size larger, Perfect fit and I don’t have to lace them or tie them . The stretch shoelaces are fantastic.
👍👍

   I forgot to mention they fit great on the pedals. plenty of distance between the gas and brake pedal.
  so we have a winner :beerchug:

That's the whole idea!  I'm glad you're happy with them. 
I always think they feel 'funny' when I put them on, with the bungee lacing.  But once I'm in the car, I don't notice.
If I wanted I'm sure I could put conventional laces in them.

  I like them as is , maybe because I like Velcro laces. 🥱. I hate it when my shoes come laced in some odd way that I can’t loosen them. But that’s another story .
  Maybe we should start a thread on driving shoes again and list shoes in different price ranges.
I’m not much into style costing 3x more than a typical shoe.  Then let’s talk race suits and helmets.

You can always reply to the shoes thread!

If anybody is interested, I have a triple layer Simpson driving suit when I was 6’2” and 185 lbs.
