Giulio Miserocchi can be credited with creating ‘the driving shoe’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Italian cobbler was based in the Piedmontese village of Domodossola – and it was there he would hand-sew what would become the first ever driving moccasin.<\/p>\n

This was back in 1942, in\u00a0the dark depths of WW2 – and it shows remarkable tenacity and crafty vision for Miserocchi to have created the beautiful mocc in soft leather, atop a nubby rubber sole when there was battle raging all around him. This perhaps, shows the attention the Italians gave to such things as driving style.<\/p>\n

The shoe was designed to make it easier on the wearer\u2019s foot as they drove – the soft upper and loose stitching intended to help the shoe shape to your foot while the texturised bottoms helped with grip.<\/p>\n

Miserocchi\u2019s driving loafers of course became a critical part of the classic Italian look – and Miserocchi’s sons have continued plying the craft.
\n
\nThe company still hand makes every pair in Domodossola today.<\/strong><\/p>\n
