Wow, you are one technical person. If I am not mistaken, the OP was asking what to use for a DD. But if I decided to track the X, I'll contact you and ask for more of your valuable opinion. Here you go,

Pilotis are great and the owner of the company is a great guy. I always wear my Lagunas when real driving is going to cross over with going to the office. The price is comparable to any good pair of shoes you'd buy at Nordtrom, etc, but they are way more comfortable than any work shoe and compare well in confort to Clarks, Eccos and some Rockports.

just get 2 shoe
one for work
one for driving
driving shoe tend to have a very thin sole
so they wear out very easily

This is the closest to what I have: http://www.skechers.com/shoes-and-cl..._-_manor/choc/

Feels like wearing really thick socks when they're on plus the soles are worn down enough that I can feel the pedals really good.

Ugh, I don't know if they are Haute Couture or some very hip shoes, but to average Joe like me they just look like some tramp shoes ;-/ I would neither wear them to work nor use them for driving. They definately look comfortable and valid as a pair of casual shoes though, and quite innovative.
