The Alpinestars Tech-1 K v2 is a renowned karting shoe that has been the
Go-To shoe for serious karters since it's introduction. Recently redesigned and with additional cutting edge features and high contrast styling, it remains one of the most popular kart racing shoes available.
The Tech-1 K v2 Shoe is a high quality and durable karting shoe constructed from
premium microfiber. Breathability is amongst the best we've experienced on any karting shoe- the Tech-1K makes use of both
laser cut perforations across the outer surfaces of the shoe, but also a
unique honeycomb mesh vent system on both the ankles and tongue. This honeycomb mesh material has both a high-tech look and feel and promotes airflow throughout the shoe to wick moisture away from your feet.
The design of the sole and heel are maximized for both grip and effortless pedal modulation. The lightweight and flexible sole uses a
unique foot contour to keep pedal contact secure and throttle/brake adjustments precise. The heel rolls with ease while also providing additional abrasion protection to the rear of the foot. The shoe is kept securely in place with
asymmetric lacing as well as a
hook & loop strap to reliably fasten the shoe in place while also preventing any dangerous lace snagging.
The Alpinestars Tech-1 K shoe is a high performing karting shoe capable of meeting the demanding needs of both amateur and professional kart racers. This latest version of a
proven platform continues the winning combination of
both driver comfort and secure foot and ankle protection that shines on any track.
