I've been racing for 9 years, I've had a couple of pairs of racing shoes, but they weren't very comfortable on my EEEE feet, so now I use some almost worn out Hi-tech climbing approach shoes that I got at the Hi-tech outlet near Yosemite several years ago. The worn soles give me a great feel, the semi- climbing rubber formula has great grip, they're light, and they were $20.00.
But they REALLY don't match my driving suit. Well, judge my on the track, not in the pits.
What racing bodies do you run with that allow you to wear non-flame retardent shoes?
Rick964, I just re-read the POC 2006 GCR's and article 9 deals with safety clothing.
An excerpt says "Tennis shoes with ALL leather uppers are acceptable."
I wear nomex socks with them.
