Alpinestars Supertech Racing Shoes

The Alpinestars Supertech Racing Shoes are premium auto racing shoes engineered for elite driver comfort, lightweight performance, and maximum pedal sensitivity. Certified to FIA 8856-2018 and SFI 3.3/5 homologation standards, the Supertech is built for serious drivers who want a close, secure fit with the feel needed for precise throttle, brake, and clutch control.

The fully knitted fire-retardant upper adapts to the shape of the foot for a more natural fit inside the cockpit, helping reduce pressure points and driver fatigue during long sessions.

Advanced Knitted Upper Construction

The Supertech uses a fully knitted fire-retardant upper made from a blend of aramidic fibers. This construction gives the shoe a close, sock-like fit while maintaining the protection required for modern racing. The knitted design improves flexibility and breathability, helping the shoe adapt to the driver’s foot shape for improved comfort during long race days.

Carbon Heel Cup Support

A thermo-formed carbon fiber heel cup provides firm heel lockdown, keeping the foot planted securely inside the shoe. This helps improve stability during pedal work and gives the driver a more connected feel while braking, accelerating, and transitioning between pedals.

3D Printed Midsole Technology

The Alpinestars Supertech features a 3D printed midsole manufactured using Digital Light Synthesis. This allows Alpinestars to fine-tune cushioning and support throughout the shoe. The midsole is softer under the heel bone for comfort, while the outer edges are stiffer to provide stability and control.

Pedal Feel and Grip

The redesigned F1-derived ultra-thin rubber outsole is built for maximum sensitivity and precision. Its low-profile design helps drivers feel the pedals more clearly, while the textured asymmetric tread pattern provides grip when moving around the paddock or working inside the cockpit. The outsole is also water repelling and oil resistant for added confidence in demanding racing environments.

Driver Comfort Details

Lightweight memory foam padding around the heel helps reduce vibration transmitted to the heel bone, while the seamless Achilles zone improves comfort around the rear ankle area. The engineered stretch tongue, ankle collar, and rear pull tab make the shoe easier to put on while maintaining a snug, performance-focused fit.
