Anything that helps you feel what the car is doing will help with autox. For long road trips, I'd think you want the opposite to prevent driver fatigue.

I have these:
They help with autocross. Their biggest downside is that outside of driving, they're bad shoes. So even working the course at autox events I would change into another pair of shoes. It got to the point that I went back to regular shoes for simplicity since I have a lot of room to grow before proper shoes would make a difference in my times. For a road course, I would want driving shoes every time. Heel and toe and fine throttle control are much easier.
For a road trip I wouldn't want them, unless the road trip is across the Alps or something.
