ALPINESTARS TECH-1 KX V2 KART RACING SHOE FAQ's

What size range is available for the Alpinestars Tech-1 KX v2?
The Tech-1 KX v2 karting shoes are offered in European sizes 36 to 48. For optimal comfort and performance fit, we strongly recommend referring to the official Alpinestars sizing chart before purchasing.

Are the Tech-1 KX v2 shoes suitable for indoor karting?
Yes. Thanks to their lightweight construction, breathable mesh zones, and grippy rubber sole, the Tech-1 KX v2 is equally at home on indoor kart tracks as well as outdoor circuits.

Are Alpinestars karting shoes fireproof?
No. CIK-FIA karting regulations do not require fire-resistant footwear, so the Tech-1 KX v2 is not fireproof. For FIA-sanctioned auto racing, you’ll need fire-rated racing shoes instead.

Do karting shoes like the Tech-1 KX v2 improve driving performance?
Absolutely. With features like enhanced pedal feel, a contoured footbed, and advanced grip sole, the Tech-1 KX v2 is built to improve throttle control, braking modulation, and driver endurance during intense karting sessions.

How should the Tech-1 KX v2 karting shoes fit?
These shoes are designed to fit snugly and securely with minimal internal movement. A tight, form-fitting design ensures maximum pedal feedback and driving precision, especially during long stints on track.

Do the Tech-1 KX v2 shoes stretch or break in over time?
They may soften slightly with use, but won’t stretch significantly. It's best to choose a snug size from the start to maintain performance integrity.

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.
