Car Shoe

Car Shoe is an Italian footwear brand founded in 1963 by Gianni Mostile in Vigevano, created from the idea of making driving both more comfortable and more elegant. The brand is best known for inventing the original driving shoe: a deconstructed moccasin with small rubber studs on the sole, patented in 1963 and designed to improve grip on the pedals while maintaining the softness and refinement of classic handmade footwear.

Over time, Car Shoe has become one of the most recognisable names in casual luxury footwear, associated with driving loafers, moccasins and relaxed shoes that combine practicality, comfort and understated Italian style. Lund & Lund describes Car Shoe as a special type of moccasin and highlights its lasting appeal among classic style icons, while the official brand history presents it as the original model that helped define an entire category of footwear.

At Lund & Lund, we offer a selected range of Car Shoe styles chosen for their versatility, comfort and timeless character. Whether worn with chinos, denim, shorts or more relaxed summer tailoring, Car Shoe represents an easy and refined approach to men’s footwear for everyday wear, travel and the warmer months. Read the story
