I never gave much thought to driving shoes, I prefer to drive in whatever I am wearing when I have to go somewhere.

I have a pair of these in a different color scheme and will probably pick up another pair pretty soon here...great all-around shoes with a nice rounded heel and a nimble feel on the pedals.

Throughout the '90s I was driving with Karhu running shoes. They had a rolled wrap-around heel and a smooth but not slippery sole. Alas, Karhu isn't easily found in stores here.
What about driving gloves? I've had a very light pair of Italian driving gloves (peccary skin) with punched vents for years. Allows much better grip on the wheel than bare hands. In cold weather I use a pair of soft, unlined deerskin work gloves.

John Browning hit it - wrestling shoes.
10 years ago my wife bought me a pair of well-regarded racing shoes, but the sole, while thin, was stiff. By luck I ran across some wrestling shoes at a place going out of business - bought two pair for about $10, and the first pair are still fine after 100+ track days. Very flexible and excellent pedal feel. NOT good on rough crushed stone,, etc, however!

What a lot of guys who autocross, but don't need flame retardant shoes buy is wrestling shoes...
