I've been to Bondurant three times (4 day class and 2 x advanced) and wore regular sneakers and no gloves. Do spend money on a good helmet that fits. They have helmets available but the larger sizes get snapped up quickly.

What class are you taking? If you are in the regular Corvette classes shoes won't get you anything. If you are taking the 4 day class with the Formula Mazda day then narrower shoes will help with the footbox on that car as it is small with very pedal close spacing. If you aren't doing that class consider doing it as the three days in the Corvettes will show you what you DON'T know in those little speed demons.
