Nascar may or may not be cool, as I opined in a previous post.

But Formula One? Michael Schumacher? Ferrari? C'mon people -- F1 is totally, totally hot. And especially the shoes, a style I like to think of as "moon boots meet Capezios". You've got velcro straps, a non-slip sole and a mid-ankle height. What more could you want?

Adidas makes a great F1 shoe called the adi Racer. Puma (the shoe of the Mighty Schumacher), in turn, has the Future Cat. Even Nike makes a Formula One shoe.

Will they make you cooler? Definitely. And they'll definitely, definitely help you avoid slipping should any oil leak onto the tarmac.
