"As a high performance car driving enthusiast and shoe person, the Piloti's are the natural choice. I have acquired 5 pairs through the past 15 years and the oldest pairs still are in good condition. The Compass is comfortable on my feet right out of the box. The red stripe/piping and carbon fiber insert are a great match to my Alfa Romeo. I recommend Piloti's as a classy looking pair of driving shoes to wear to Cars & Coffee or a high performance driving event."
"I ordered the Compass black in 10. 5 which is a half size up from my normal size based on recommendations in prior reviews. It ended up being the perfect size and they fit well. They were a little stiff initially but after wearing a few days they broke in nicely. The shoe looks and feels high quality. One of my cars has a narrow pedal box and these shoes work so much better than anything else I own. The only negative is the white on the sole doesn't clean up very well. They get black from rubbing on mats and pedals which is to be expected. Even with my go to cleaner (Super Clean) which works wonders on other shoes with white soles didn't fully clean them up."
"Love the design, but wish the shoe laces were longer. , would have worked better as a slip on, given the short length of the laces."
"Very well made, length and width snug at first and generally true to size 11. 5US M. If you have a high instep, plan on buying longer laces, as the mid-section of the shoe is not high enough, nor is the tongue really wide enough. I'll keep them, but will not take a chance on another pair."
"Beautiful and looks to be durable. Time will tell. Great for heal and toeing. A little stiff at first but breaking in nicely. Size runs a little narrow."
"I regret that the back of the heel is chaffing on the left side, plus why are the shoe laces short. Great craftsmanship and quality but comfort is annoying."
"These shoes are dope. They’re really well made. The laces are a little short, that’s no big deal. The lace tender broke when I tried to tighten the laces, but I feel like that was my fault for being too aggressive. Otherwise they’re well made and I alternate between these and the Avenues almost daily. The Avenues are a little more comfortable because they offer them in wide, but nothing a little breaking in didn’t help correct."
"I received exactly what I needed expected timely and I love them. The fit and finish is perfect."
"I really like the way these look and feel. H"
"Got these shoes with a coupon from Throttlehouse on YouTube. They are my second pair of Compass. Prior ones have been extremely comfortable and get many compliments!"
