Car Shoe is an Italian manufacturer of driving shoes.
The footwear brand was founded by Italian Giani Mostile in 1963. The history of Car Shoe began with moccasins, which were once conceived specifically as shoes for motorists. The idea was that the spikes on the soles created additional friction between the pedals and the shoe. This gave riders good pedaling traction and high responsiveness in motion.

The company has been owned by Prada since 2001. It produces a wide range of moccasins in different colors in its collections, as well as "sneakers" (sneakers), informal casual boots and mountain boots.
Under Prada's control, Car Shoe sales have seen much growth. Its 2005 turnover of 17 million euros ($21 million) represented a remarkable 180% surge in sales from 6 million euros ($7.5 million) in 2004, and its sales increased by 33% in 2008 compared to the previous year.
Today, the brand produces not only moccasins, but also other informal footwear for drivers: sneakers, slippers, and racing boots. For example, Alfa Romeo boots are a modern model of footwear for motorists, which is used by racers on high-speed tracks.
