What driving shoes do you recommend?

I love my Simpson racing boots, but they don't match my street clothes, and they're a bit much for short trips. Same deal with my OMP boots. All of my other shoes lack the rounded heel and tend to catch on the floor and lack the smooth roll off for fine controll. Solid black leather would be best, but I'm open to other options.

Maybe a weird take, but check out some fencing shoes. There’s a ton of variety but they seem to have the traits you’re looking for:

Rounded heel
Responsive up in the toes
Generally look like normal street shoes

Genius. They all look like high-quality, half-priced luxury driving shoes. Thanks for the tip. My only regret is the violent life of dueling that will surely come with them. Still, sacrifices must be made sometimes. In all seriousness, thank you.
