I'm not an expert on shoes...but the best driving shoes I own that I can still wear with a suit are these Bruno Magli's. They have a rubber heel which helps with pedal modulation. Also the rubber soles are not too thick so you can still feel the pedals somewhat.

I would imagine any dress shoes manufactuer's line of "sporty" dress shoes with thin rubber soles and rubber heel should be fine. Prada make a bunch of similar looking shoes.

You don't want to use anything with a thick rubber sole or too heavy construction. I have a pair Allen Edmonds...built like tanks...but absolutely horrid to drive with. Can never drive smoothly wearing them.

Personally, I find proper leather soled dress shoes, have bottoms which are much too slippery for driving. Especially if you have metal pedals!
