Iconic – The Original Driving Shoe
Words: Gentleman's Journal
The original driving shoe was designed and patented in 1963, and although many brands now sell the design it was Car Shoe that really created the timeless and iconic design. Today Car Shoe still have the same ethos as they did when they first started back in 1963, which was ‘the combination of creative vitality and craftsmanship’, and making each pair of shoes with only the finest materials. In the past they have been worn by style icons such as the late Mr Gianni Agnelli and President John F Kennedy. The Car Shoe is not so much a shoe, but a work of craftsmanship and art, which epitomises European style. Available from Mr Porter and priced at £240. mrporter.com
