adidas Women’s Originals Tuscany Leather Driving Shoe Ladies, start your engines. Adidas’ Tuscany leather driving shoes were first introduced in 1980 and worn by the world’s foremost Formula 1 and Rally drivers. The tach-torquing style remained wholly intact in this low-top, quilted leather driving shoe. Featuring a smooth, leather upper with quilted stitching and a gum rubber outsole with a “Goodyear” imprint and tire-inspired traction profile, these are the fastest thing on two heels. Continuing the collaboration with Goodyear, this is the updated version of Adidas’ most successful driving boot.

About Adidas
The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has long become reality, and his corporate philosophy the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant. Adi Dassler’s aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War. The Adidas name dates back to 1948, deriving from the first two syllables of Adi Dassler’s first and last name. One year later, Adi Dassler registered the Three Stripes as a trademark. After a period spanning almost 70 years, the Dassler Family withdrew from the company in 1989, and the enterprise was transformed into a corporation (”Aktiengesellschaft”). French-born Robert Louis-Dreyfus was Chairman of the Executive Board from April 1993 to March 2001. It was he who initiated Adidas’ flotation on the stock market in November 1995. Adidas–a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport around the globe. Today, the Adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.

Customer Review: Very cute and quite comfy
I work in a casual office and sometimes spend a lot of time on my feet. These shoes are great with jeans and other casualwear. They provide the comfort of sneakers without screaming “athletic shoes,” and they appear to run true to size. I have high arches and appreciate a more substantial insole. Other retro sneaks don’t have the support and solid construction of these shoes. Sometimes a shoe with minimal cushioning is fine. These are great when you want something with a bit more going on inside. The nylon version is cute as well, but I preferred the smoother finish of the leather.
