Why are they called driving shoes?

My friend is a bit of a gearhead and always raves about how great his driving shoes are. To me, they just look like a pair of loafers. What’s the deal with driving shoes?

Originally, driving shoes were simply made to make driving more comfortable. But nowadays, driving shoes serve three purposes: fashion, comfort, and grip.
They are called driving shoes because the soles are fine-tuned for driving. They are often made of flexible yet durable suede or leather and range in price from about $100 to $500. (However, you can certainly find even cheaper or more expensive options.)
