Let alone BMW shoes made by Puma with BMW badge on it. Are those photos even for real... or are the BMW logos just superglued on there??
There's a BMW badge on them. BMW-Puma relationship is nothing new.

How dressy do you need? are we talking suit dressy or business casual dressy?

I have a pair of ferragamo parigi drivers which are great, i actually prefer them to sneakers when driving, they can be worn with biz casual, and look great with a pair of dark jeans too

Then, Alvinized52 won't try to make fun of you.

Griots has some loafers with special heel tread, and funky red stitching - matches my sportline upholstery, but still pretty dorky - if they are too weird to wear out, might as well wear a dedicated 'driver'.

You do realize the you're the only one that's going on about the track, when op clearly stated dress shoes for work... Why you get all defensive about track shoes and puma gear wth bmw logos on it I have no clue - but then again at the rate you do go on about the track, one would think you're a track day instructor? Either that or you got butt hurt because you wear those puma shoes and heel toe while heading to the grocery store? :

My point is that different people prefer different (better) levels of pedal feel, even on the street. There's no need to make fun of OP for inquiring about shoes that provide better feel. Yes, I heel toe driving to the grocery store. No, I'm more than likely wearing running shoes.

Get some fairly skinny Rockports. They aren't very stylish, but they are comfortable and acceptable for business casual. The XCS line is especially comfortable. Something that sort of looks like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Rockport-Rocs...s=rockport+xcs

The wider the shoe and the sole, the less likely it will be suitable as a driving shoe, which is always narrow and fairly flat soled. Rockport and Cole Hahn used to have a bigger selection of good looking shoes, but they both seem to be in a funk lately.
