Marocchina vs Gommino

[Deschain]

Hi there

I am looking at buying either a pair of marrocchina or driving shoes. I already have ballet flats from Tods, but my only issue is that they have a silk lining which means that they actually arent as good in expanding. I would have preferred that they where all leather so my wide foot could be in there

So, anybody has an idea of which of these shoes are most comfy? I must say that I think that the style of the marocchina is most "me" but I would definityely go for the gommino if they are soft and easy.

I don't know about comfort but I like the look of the first ones better.

The Gomminos pictured are driving shoes. There are "city gomminos" that have a last like the marrochina, which hold up better outside. The driving mocs are not that long lived when worn out doors. So if you compare drivers with the marroccina, drivers are more comfortable and forgiving, and the marrochina is more shoe-like than slipper-like.
