He's just trying to distract you from the dead hooker in the back of the car.

Call me old fashioned, but I'd say a nice pair of Lobbs, EG, or AE oxfords would top those slip ones. =|

That wouldn't be very Lapo then.

Lapo is great.

The trick is in breaking some of the rules in a careless, yet stylish (and clearly carefully calculated) manner, while observing the rest.
It's like Picasso or e e cummings. You can sense the history beneath the unconventionality.

Isn't the point of those driving shoes only so you wear them when driving because actually walking on them wears out the nubs? Maybe he's got some proper shoes in the trunk

In Italy (esp. the North) the Car Shoe driving shoe is possibly the most common casual footwear for well dressed men, and very seldom are they worn with driving in mind. Lapo is not the first person to wear them with a suit. His penchant for sneakers with suits, however, is a somewhat different matter....

From my experience, they gain a great look after good wear, and once completely destroyed they can easily be replaced, although they have become repulsively expensive.

Yep.

When you know the rules already, and you have $, then you will do what you want.

Being drunk gives you the attitude needed to pull it off.

Although it may not help with the driving...

A Ralph Lauren employee perhaps?
