driving shoes

I posted this message on a thread related to discounted Piloti shoes myself today. However it seems a little remote and being on an older thread may not get noticed.

If you are into Piloti shoes based on what I read on the site this is a good deal.

Amazon has a number of Piloti styles and they are offering a $25.00 instant discount on some. If you work the system you can get free shipping in addition. Just bought a pair of DTM for $85.95, MSRP $110.95.

There is a $30.00 discount if you sign up for Visa card-ignore that one, unless you need another credit card???.

On the specific shoe page, if it qualifies, there is a $25 discount banner ad. Add your shoe selection to your cart move through the process to the let's buy it page and the discount is deducted automatically plus they are offering free super saver shipping.

Although in my search for driving shoes and gloves I have found a number of sites offering good discounts on close out items, I also found some great discounts on the OMP USA site.

Fathers day has been good to me.

Thanks 3lions, I saw your post in the other thread. I'd be all over this but I've only used the last pair I bought on two occasions

Ditto on that....when Suneet set up the other thread, I jumped on it and purchased two pair.....I love both, but only one pair has been worn. I have a spare pair sitting new in the box...just waiting on this pair to get worn down.

The discount listed here does not seem to be much deeper than the one offered in Suneets thread..or am I missing something?

Nonetheless, thank you for letting us know and being on the look out!

The discount is actually a $25 off $100 site-wide on many of Amazon's shoes. And certain Piloti models are on sale in the less popular colors, such as the white G16 which is only $67, down from $75-$80 elsewhere.

After reading this though, I'm becoming a Zappos.com fanatic:

Why Zappos Pays New Employees to Quit—And You Should Too - Bill Taylor

Truly inspiring stories of Zappos customer service are all over the web.

Hi 3 Lions (like the name by the way )

I am based in the UK and have just tried to buy a pair of Piloti's from Amazon.com. They will not ship outside of US due to warranty issues. Is there any chance some kind soul on here would let me buy on Amazon.com and ship to a US address and then FedEx them to me in the UK with me paying all fees?

Many thanks - Tony

Piloti's are coming from Europe, so is there a better supplier across the pond? I mean for all the shipping and trouble its probably worth a look. On the other hand, I bet there are a few people who would be willing to help you out. I am leaving the country next week or else I would help you with the transaction.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for replying but I think Pilotis hail out of California and only have direct distribution channels in the US, Canada and Japan.

I have emailed them direct to ask if they will ship to the UK.

If not hopefully I can hook up with someone on this board.

Cheers - Tony

I paid 120.00 locally for the same shoe because I had to get them fast. I am recovering from an ankle injury and in addition to driving a 6 sp CS- I walk on concrete floors often at work. I wear this shoe all day - its the only thing that I can stand to wear at this point. This is a killer deal and I may buy an extra pair.
