Comfortable Leather and Suede Construction

The Tech-1 T v3 uses a durable full-grain leather upper combined with suede for a premium balance of comfort, durability, and abrasion resistance. The suede collar and carefully shaped upper help create a secure fit while keeping the shoe comfortable during long sessions behind the wheel.

Improved Pedal Feel and Grip

The all-new lightweight rubber compound sole is designed to improve pedal feel while still offering comfort outside the car. The outsole mimics an asymmetric tire tread and is water repelling and oil resistant, giving drivers dependable grip in the cockpit, paddock, and garage.

Dual Closure System

The Tech-1 T v3 uses a dual closure system with an adjustable hook-and-loop strap and traditional lacing. Hidden lace loops on the lateral and medial sides help create a snug fit without restriction, while the single-layer strap reduces weight and helps avoid pressure points across the instep.

Heat-Resistant Protection

A para-aramidic fiber tubular lining construction helps provide excellent heat resistance while reducing seams and saving weight. The Nomex lining protects the entire foot against heat, and the SFI label on the tongue is made from fireproof PU film transfer.

Freedom of Movement

The rear of the collar is cut lower to improve Achilles comfort and allow greater freedom of movement while working the pedals. This helps reduce restriction during braking, throttle application, and quick pedal transitions.

Support and Durability

The Tech-1 T v3 includes a multi-compound construction with an ergonomic polypropylene heel counter and integrated insole for support, protection, and stability. The outsole also features a toe protector, while dedicated lateral toe protection adds durability where drivers need it most.
