What are men's driving shoes?
While men's driving shoes are specifically designed to wear while driving, they're much more than that. Driving shoes take the profile of loafers, cut to hit below the ankles and made as slip-ons, and turned into a sporty style. Driving shoes are often made of suede or leather, but the soles are where things really get different.

Driving shoes are often lightweight and flexible, making them easy to wear while cruising down the highway and making them even easier to stow away once you reach your destination in record time. Most driving shoes are made with simple stitching and construction methods, making them closer to moccasins than traditional loafers (more on that in a second).
