For the boot style these are money and they have a wider toe box. These are a little bit much for me, I like to be a little more subtle.

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?

stupid question: do Nomex lined shoes breathe? or do they get hot easily?

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.
