Men's Driving Shoes: Ultimate Luxury for Your Feet Everyday

by Nicolas Draper Director

When we say men driving shoes, the first idea is of footwear to zoom along in a luxury car, with your driving scarf flapping in the breeze. Now, welcome to the real world. While a good-quality shoe that comes with a sturdy grip is appreciated and is easy to slip on and off, you have got questions.

How to land the best men's Driving Shoes and where to buy an outstanding quality?

Let’s look at that.

The driving moccasin fits into two categories:

1. Full rubber sole that comes with a stitched side wall, known as a ‘Cup-sole’. This comes with an integral heel clip that goes up the back of the moccasin.

2. Then comes the lighter weight and summery ‘rubber dotted sole’, which shows round rubber pads coming through the leather moccasins.

Thanks to their careful designs, men's driving moccasins are comfortable to wear whilst driving. This is why driving shoes are different as a normal shoe would become worn down with its contact inclined contact with the floor. However, they are not restricted to driving & racing only. Driving moccasins are for everyday wear and are unstructured to adapt to most people’s feet.

The make and feel

Most moccasin manufacturers use hot and cold aluminum lasts for show moulding and removing creases around the apron. This way, moccasin uppers acquire a perfect shape with an induced memory effect. When heated, leather shrinks slightly and pulls tight against the heated aluminum lasts. Once it is removed and quickly cooled, it cleverly remembers this shape and the same goes for the thermoplastic stiffeners used in the back of the moccasin, between the lining and upper. The process of moulding to last at a higher temperature and set when cooled gives a pinched clip at the back to hold onto the foot.

Who makes the best ones?

There are variants available for anything. But, you should look for genuine manufacturers who have been doing this for long enough to be able to do it with eyes closed. These mens driving shoes are easy to slip on and off, and one can have several pairs to coordinate with the clothing choices. The manufacturers recommend you should alternate them as they are high-quality shoes, so go ahead and pick from a few colors to add to your collection. They are simply fantastic! When wearing them, ooze a sort of sophisticated style & flair that your peers are bound to notice.
