Driving shoes for men came about in the 1960s when the Italian company – Car Shoe manufactured them for car racers, who needed them to get that grip on the pedals when racing. Hence, when you look at the sole of the shoes what you will notice are small rubber studs protruding from the outsole. These are meant to give the driver more traction when they pressed the clutch, brake and acceleration pedals. Another quality about driving shoes is that the rubber studs added a sight height to the shoe which enables the driver to work better on the pedals.

In course of time, these basic shoes meant just for driving started being use for other activities. Their just slip-on and go quality endeared them to people at large.
