Same situation here. I decided to try RaceQuip 303. They're in a box under the tree. I'll let you know on the 25th whether I like them .

Those Racequip look a lot like the G Force, and are definitely the right price.. let me know how they work out.
What's under my tree is a $100 bill and a picture of shoes because I don't know which ones I want. Go mom!

I use left over Pilotis that I hoarded before they went tits-up. Left over stock pops up on eBay on occasion.
I'm a bit of a shoe whore and have tried a bunch
Alpine Stars (Tek 1) I love them but they are pricey
Pilotis (LMP)are comfortable but with a thick/wide sole
Lico these were Sparco's "off" brand, decent for cheap if you can still find them
Pumas (Future Cat) super nice....super expensive, kind of hard to find
people expect different things out of their shoes, some people use them as consumables so they just want something cheap and easily replaceable. Me, i want them to be comfortable as I am nervously pacing around before gridding and nice and skinny so my biggish feet don't bang around on the pedals while I trying to hump my dinosaur around the track, I try to find the nicest stuff that I can on close-out and keep it as long as they last.

That's kinda my situation as well. while my feet are normal sized, my dance behind the wheel is more of a drunken high schooler than a well-choreographed tango. Thus, large wide soles have proven via trial & error (mostly error) to be a bad thing.
And while I admit I'm a cheapskate, I would rather spend more money once than spend a little money lots of times. (thus my asking for recommendations vs. buying close-out stuff and hoping it's good enough!)

another suggestion, depending on how cheap you really are....
SCCA does not mandate SFI rated shoes, most of the super high end shoe makers manufacture the same shoe in an SFI rated and non SFI for use in karts...as long as the shoes are leather and not plastic they are legal for use....myself, I'm not real comfortable with that so mine are fire proof but there is nothing in the GCR that says they have to be.
