What’s the best way to clean my Tech-1 KX v2 shoes? Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to spot-clean the exterior. Avoid full submersion or machine washing, as this may damage the materials and compromise durability.
What socks work best with the Tech-1 KX v2? We recommend thin, moisture-wicking racing socks to optimize fit, reduce friction, and keep your feet cool and dry during high-performance karting sessions.
How does the Tech-1 KX v2 compare to other Alpinestars karting shoes?The Tech-1 KX v2 is a premium karting shoe, offering upgraded materials, refined fit, and enhanced pedal feel over entry-level models like the Tech-1K Start V2.
