Race Boot Recommendations

I use my old PA's (rock climbing shoes)

There's quite a number who use rock boots - now / know why mine are called "Ballet". Trouble is they cripple me when I'm climbing, and no respite when driving, but who said you need to walk to drive!

 

With respect to race boot choice, be mindful of the inner-sole material. I use the Sparco boots and the inner sole is a vinyl(ish) assembly - great for sweaty feet. Having since looked at other brands the OMP versions appear to have a leather footbed - possibly better? Some have a cardboard type insert.

 

Stu.

I use TEVA rock climbing shoes.I've never climbed a rock in my life but they have'Spider Rubber' soles and i saw them just after we'd been to see Spiderman.

Thanks for all the advice. I was at a meeting yesterday (five f****** hours of meeting!!!!) so didn't manage to get a next day delivery order in but I've just been into town and found some of the Puma Sparco branded low cut jobbies. Probably paid well over the odds off the high street but at least I've got something that's "hopefully" going to be better to drive to Germany in.

I use gold lame (I think that's the spelling ) slingbacks but don't tell my wife, else another avenue of pleasure will be denied!

I've got a couple of pairs of Puma Sparco's, high boots and ankle boots.

The ankle boots feel less restricting. As said before you can get them fairly cheap if you don't need a fire-proof boot,

and they look quite good too!
