 Tod's driving shoes? [Archive] - Style Forum
While Tod's shoes are very comfortable (I have two pairs), they look so easy to make and I always hold out for the sale; I refuse to pay full price...
Tim: Tod's is actually an extremely high-quality shoe brand, so I'd be very proud of yourself if you can find the driving shoe in the good colors on sale.
IMO, the Tods are meant to be worn casually outside of driving (although you see more women wearing them casually than men) because they really can't be used as pure "driving" shoes anyway.
