Race Boots
Race boots are a mandatory requirement for circuit racing and are strongly advised for use in all other forms of motorsport. This is because race boots feature a layer of fire retardant Nomex material to provide the driver with an essential level of protection. Aside from providing important safety protection, a quality set of race boots also help to provide a good feel on the pedals due to thin and flexible soles. This is important when trying to maintain a level of consistency with pedal inputs allowing the driver to maximise every braking point and apply the throttle in a progressive manner. Available in either suede or leather, most boots feature a reinforced section on the outside of the toes to help reduce the wear when heel and toe are being applied. There are also some boots which feature a Velcro strap on the ankle to offer additional support.
