Drivers/Moccasins as a casual shoe?

Recently I was a little disappointed to discover that a majority opinion on Driving Loafers seems to be that if you aren't driving with them, don't buy them, as from the little I've read they are very uncomfortable and poor for wearing as a casual everyday shoe. I thought I'd ask here, do people agree with this?

I'm aware that this is down to the sole more than anything, but then I found these, http://www.selfridges.com/en/Menswear/Categories/Shop-Shoes/Shoes/Loafers/Calfskin-moccasins_690-10004-0026831109/?cm_mmc=PPC-_-Google-_-na-_-%7BKeyword%7D&_$ja=kw:ferragamo+calfskin+moccasins|cgn:690-10004-0026831109%7c%7cferragamo+calfskin+moccasins|cgid:5185344999|tsid:35134|cn:Search%7c%7cShoes%7c%7cProduct|cid:96156759|lid:40731686799|mt:Exact|nw:search|crid:15830323839&gclid=COurjJ245bQCFSTLtAod9X8AVQ

(Apologies that image isn't placed in thread). Will these shoes present the same problem, I thought the sole seemed a little different from regular drivers?

Any help would be much appreciated =]

Personally, I love drivers. Alden used to make some greats ones in suede, but those aren't available through Alden anymore (I believe Shoe Mart has some left). They're not ideal for every day wear because you're not getting a lot of support and you'll probably wear through them quickly, but I'm definitely a fan. Jeremy's in SF has a few Cucinelli drivers for about $250 I believe
