Car Shoe was founded in 1963 by Gianni Mostile. The brand soon became best known for its signature moccasin, which features tiny rubber nubs. The brand earned a patent from the Italian Ministry of Industry and Trade. In 2001, Car Shoe was assimilated by Prada. Car Shoe's traditional driving shoe is now available in a wide range of colors and leathers, and even in a new children's collection.
