The upper is made of durable nubuck and lightweight microfiber. This combination provides an excellent balance between flexibility, support, and durability. As a result, the shoe remains comfortable even during long training days and competitive races.

Improved fit and maximum support

Thanks to the updated anatomical design, the shoe fits more snugly around the forefoot, resulting in greater comfort and a more direct pedal feel. The asymmetrical lacing system, combined with the Velcro closure, ensures a precise and progressive fit, keeping the foot securely in place while riding.

The external reinforcements on the heel and toe areas provide extra protection and increase the shoe's durability during heavy use.

F1-inspired sole for ultimate control

The ultra-thin sole was developed to Formula 1 specifications and offers exceptional grip and responsiveness. Thanks to the rounded heel, the feet can move smoothly between the gas and brake pedals, ensuring optimal control and precision on the kart track.

Excellent ventilation for long-lasting comfort

The TECH-1 K V2 features excellent ventilation properties that ensure optimal air circulation around the foot. This keeps feet cooler and more comfortable during long races and in hot conditions, while reducing fatigue.

What should you pay attention to when buying a karting shoe?

The choice of the karting shoe is important for the feel of the kart, here are some tips when buying a quality karting shoe:

• Pay attention to the flexibility of the sole. When you press your foot on that accelerator or brake pedal for a longer period of time, a sole that is too slack can cause a painful sole because the pedal is pressed against the ball of the foot every time.
• In a kart you often see that the pilot drives more on the "outside of the foot". This causes the side of the foot to press very hard against the outer front of the shoe. If the shoe is too weak, you will "hang" your foot over the edge of the sole, which can cause painful sides of the feet. A sturdy karting shoe is very important.

For the right size choice, it is strongly recommended to follow the US dimensions.
