The new Alpinestars Alloy is a shoe meant for comfort, support, and durability. This might be the first time a major motorsports safety equipment manufacturer has designed something with techs’ foot comfort in mind.
With the caveat that shoes really, really have to fit to be good, we bring to your attention the Alpinestars Tech 1Z as our choice for the best fire-resistant road racing shoe for 2017.
Racing shoes might seem rather low on the totem pole of gear priorities, but when you consider that half your inputs are going to be made with your feet, the importance of having good shoes starts to become a little more obvious. Safety is the top priority for a racing shoe design of course, but beyond flame resistance and FIA/SFI certifications, racing shoes need to be durable, comfortable, grippy, light weight, and provide as much feedback as possible. To that end, if you want the pinnacle of current racing shoe design, the 2014 Alpinestars Tech 1-Z Formula 1 shoes should definitely be on your short list.
Mini’s Lifestyle Collection has expanded to include the Union Jack Sneakers. These high-top canvas shoes are trimmed with the pattern of the British Flag, and even feature the Union Jack in the tread on the sole. The right shoe features the words “Beat The Street” in the insole.
