Verdolino is a muted yet stand-out green that is sure to draw admiring comments. Paired with neutral colors of sand stripes with cognac accents and heel, it’s a striking, distinct color not seen on sneakers anywhere. You won't be in-your-face loud in Verdolino, but you'll never go unnoticed.

The Grandprix Sneaker is 100% leather, hand-crafted in Italy with scrutinous workmanship in a small factory. It’s designed to be the perfect driving shoe, and the buttery soft and supple leather is comfortable for all-day wear. The casual luxury quality fits in anywhere, but the eye-catching colors and design means you’ll never just blend in. Wear it anywhere – car meets, the track, work, events, or a nice dinner. The pure natural rubber sole provides stability and comfort, with a bottom profile modeled after car tires. Side tabs wrap the highest wear area on the sides for extra protection. A rounded racing-inspired heel gives a perfect grip and allows for precise action on the pedals, whether you use two or three.

Thank you for your awesome review, Sandhya! Great modeling of our shoes!
A unique shoe that fits great. Great for driving and walking. I had to wear dress pants and the wife said I couldn't wear thew and made me wear my Oxfords. Other than that they are my go to. :)
This review is an oxymoron as I am writing to deify myself in some online shopping crisis, to defeat oneself to satisfy buying a perfect gift for oneself and not wanting everyone to have it because that would defeat the original reason of the purchase.
Or you could just say “I love them!” please don’t tell anyone as I want to continue to be unique!
The only problem I had initially was trying to pick one. The style and color selection of the Driving / Training shoes is prolific.
I drive my Jag as hard as the road and fellow transients deem safe. HARD! SAFE! FUN! That’s how these gloves for drivers’ feet measure up. I’m hard on heal and toe, these don’t scuff or wear. Not race safe but road perfect.
My humble opinion. You will love them!

Marvin - thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We love the collection you're starting to build. Glad to have you as part of the GPO family!
Love the look of these - very stylish with a unique color. The shoes are also quite comfy and provide great support. They have also held up well.
These are fantastic! I was admittedly skeptical (saw from a FB add and clicked through) but took a gamble and boy am I glad I did! My order was quickly processed and received my shoes in 2 days! Was immediately impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of these shoes and the term “buttery soft leather” doesn’t do justice to the quality of materials used. Super impressed by these and already looking at a second pair!!!

Thank you so much, Gary! Nine pairs is an incredible collection! 😎 We’re thrilled to hear they’re comfortable enough for all-day wear and getting you plenty of compliments. Thanks for being such a loyal Grand Prix Originals fan!
One of my sneakers had a small tear. Initially I got no response after sending photo to company. This was because I sent it wrong. They responded immediately when I resent message. They were understanding and wonderful! Because they are back ordered I was given option of getting it repaired. I did and they covered it. They are also really nice people which always astounds me! I guess I’m a bit jaded…Thank you Jeany!

Coolest sneakers I have ever worn. Leather just molds around my feet. Love them.
Incredibly comfortable with very little break-in time needed. Very good shoes for driving with a clutch so they are not only good looking, but very usable for driving.
Fantastic shoes. Extremely well made and very comfortable. I've owned lots of different driving shoes and these are the best I've owned. High recommend!!
Ok I received these a week ago and am super impressed! They look great, are incredibly soft, fit well and are true to size. Very comfortable and seem well made.
I can't wait to wear these on a regular basis once the spring hits! (and I'm not navigating saltwater puddles of a midwest winter!)
It seems fine so far! I've not had the shoes for more than a few days, so its hard to give a good review yet. The shoes seem to be soft at hand in the leather interiors and uppers, and are comfortable to wear. I feel that they could perhaps have a little more arch support and maybe a bit softer on the inside sole.
Good Luck!
