      I have a pair of Prototipos and after 1 summer of driving and daily wear the sole was gone. Actual driving shoes are not meant for daily wear, but lower end Pumas and they like should hold up well. I have always liked various skate shoes for feel although most are bulky. Anything aimed at the longboarding community will do you well (flexible, lightweight, and grippy sole).

        Funny someone mentioned driving shoes with boating. I prefer wearing my Sperrys when I drive. Comfortable, thin soles make good pedal feel, and i can still wear them to church. Most people I know wear piloti for daily driving and events.

          wearing racing shoes casually is utterly knobbish

            I have Adidas racing shoes, but think I do look a bit knobbish in public. (with or without the shoes)

            I recently purchased these: http://www.hstrask.com/product/shop/...ctavish_oxford and I like them so far. They're Trasks, so they feel broken-in from the get-go. Try STP for a better price.

                i have two pairs of pilotis, they are nice, but I actually like running shoes as well. Never been a fan of something like a boat shoe to drive in because of it's very floppy sole. They feel like flip flops to me.

                I'm about to try some Pumas and see how I like them. Those seem like a great shoe to wear daily yet still have some decent feel while driving. I used to wear my old Pilotis (a blue pair, not red or some other ridiculous color) daily when I drove and that was nice, didn't attract too much attention either. They did seem to wear out a bit, though. (they are still in okay shape)

                  I'm going to be buying my third pair of Puma Motorsport(ish) shoes. If you get a dark color and no Ferrari logo, you can wear them anywhere. And I like showing off the tire sole design at partys. I tell people that they're made out of used race tires. Most believe my shit.

                          All leather sperrys.

                          They look like dress(y) shoes and have good feel. Hmm

                              I dont know exactly what type you are looking for, or what your budget is... but these i would consider everyday. Pricey though.
