They would go well for the uses you've mentioned. As for walking, I find them very comfortable. But they aren't gear, of course, so they aren't designed for walking many miles at a time. Actually, if your feet don't need much support, you COULD walk like that in them, but they aren't designed for that use. The nubs on the bottom will eventually wear down, especially if they are worn a lot on pavement, but they probably will last as long or longer than an average pair of flats. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-driving-shoes-please#post-924565 Fri, 03 May 2013 23:51:28 +0000 velvetychocolate 924565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I happened to buy some Cynthia Rowley taupe suede "driving shoes" while in Las Vegas last January - it was warmer than I expected, and I wanted a comfy flat type of shoe to wear with more casual outfits. They look nice with boyfriend jeans, regular jeans, and shorts too. I found them extremely comfortable tromping around all over the place. In fact, I'm wearing them right now with pale blue Kut from the Kloth BF jeans and a white shirt. <br /><br />I think in terms of "comfortable to walk in" depends on the brand. I can say for sure that my Cynthia Rowly brand 'driving shoes' go the distance - way comfortable and have a lot more support in them than I expected for a seemingly 'flat' shoe. <br /><br />I'm not talking 7+ hours roaming around the <i>cobblestone</i> streets of Europe (need a more sturdy shoe for this) or anything, but I did wear these from 8am to 10 pm wandering all over the place in Vegas with no problem. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-driving-shoes-please#post-924469 Fri, 03 May 2013 21:58:52 +0000 rachylou 924469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Driving mocs are definitely preppy. I'd say they're generally as comfortable as any moccasin, which means to me that they feel nice on the feet but that, frankly, you can feel the ground through them. They won't hold up to heavy walking.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-driving-shoes-please#post-924461 Fri, 03 May 2013 21:48:11 +0000 Nicole D 924461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have no idea what driving shoes are but I think I need some since my shoes' right heels are always getting worn down!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/explain-driving-shoes-please#post-924441 Fri, 03 May 2013 20:59:04 +0000 Rambling Ann 924441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm talking generically about driving shoes, the ones with the little bumps on the bottom. Are they comfortable to walk in? Where do they sit on the casual (cons) to classy (pumps) continuum? Could you make them work with anything other than jeans? A skirt? Are they deemed preppy like boat shoes?<br /><br />All because I want to find a tomato-to-coral pair of low-heeled shoes to wear with jeans and to casualize (is that a word?) a RATE but girly grey skirt suit. I found some ballet flats that could work, but then I saw some driving mocs on Zappos and started wondering how they are worn, other than driving.<br /><br /><br />
