Rally boots are one of the essential elements for the safety of the driver and co-driver.
Designed almost always based on the pilot's experience, they are made of suede or leather with a racing look and always offering quality and optimal comfort.
The leading brands in the sector put all their experience at your disposal, offering you the best rally boots .
FIA approved boots ensure optimal safety guarantees.
As we have said before, rally boots are basic elements in the equipment of the driver and co-driver and they should make you feel comfortable when you are inside the car, that is, you should not feel tight, sweaty, have chafing or be uncomfortable because over time they make you lose concentration, calluses can appear etc. Therefore it is essential to know which one to choose.
FIA homologation
In any national or regional test, FIA 8856-2000 or FIA 8856-2018 boots are mandatory for both the driver and co-driver, and must have embroidery or a label sewn visibly on the outside of the tongue and a holographic label on the inside.
This label ensures that the vehicle has passed the strict tests imposed by the FIA and guarantees maximum protection in the event of an accident.
As with street footwear, each brand has its own design for a unique shoe with different materials, but they are all categorized into 2 groups:
Another factor to take into account is the material they are made of.
- Leather rally boots will be slightly stiffer than textile boots but will have greater durability . However, brands have worked effectively on the quality of the leather to offer excellent flexibility and high-level comfort. In some boots, the leather is perforated on the sides for greater breathability of your foot.
- Suede is the second most commonly used material for competition boots thanks to its lightness and more attractive price.
More and more boots have reinforcements at the heel and toe for greater protection.
Now we are going to move on to the sole of your boots . Whether internal or external, brands always use high-quality materials and the latest technologies to ensure the greatest comfort and always maximum protection at a reasonable price.
- The insole is very important for the comfort and support of your foot. It is generally pre-shaped and, ideally, has shape memory to perfectly adapt to the morphology of your foot. Some have reinforcement plates for a more substantial feel and a reduction of stress on the foot.
- the outsole is injected for maximum grip and increased wear resistance. Antistatic and non-slip , many are also resistant to oils and hydrocarbons for improved grip on the ground. The heels of the boots are reinforced and more resistant to allow better rotational movements of the foot during driving and for more flexible pedal activation.
Recently, a new lacing system has been introduced with a rotor mechanism that guarantees the rider a perfect fit and excellent comfort. The traditional lacing with also a Velcro closure is the most classic type of closure but, nevertheless, effective that allows a good support of the ankle during the race.
