Why Road & Motor selected it
The Compass is Piloti's most resolved driving sneaker, built with input from professional drivers rather than marketing. The patented Roll Control heel and precise pedal feel make it genuinely suited to long stints behind the wheel, while the clean black leather keeps it wearable anywhere. It is one of the few driving shoes that perform as claimed.
