Where To Buy Race Boots In Melbourne?

[Mean_R34]

Hi All,

I'm posting this on behalf of a mate who is after a new pair a racing boots for the best price.

Any feedback appreciated.

Hey Guys,

Do you know anyone/where who sells cheap race boots?

I preferably want FIA approved boots, as I may do some competitive events in the future and don't want to buy Kart shoes and then have to buy another pair later on.

I have shopped around most of the race gear stores I know in Melbourne and the best I can find is:

Puma Future Cat MD Pro $249

RPM Indy 3 $199

Sabelt Street Mid Race Boot $274

MQ Chrono 2 $210

Sparco Slalom $260.

Alpinestars Tech 1-T $329

I have read of people on forums getting boots for around $100 and such but not sure whether they are Kart boots or maybe even casual race-looking boots.

Any contacts or places I should shop?

PS Don't really want to buy blind off the net as I want to know the shoe fits and is comfortable and I have a track day next weekend, so time is a bit critical.

100 is usually, race style shoes, like the puma drift cats, not FIA but pretty good for club events.

Meridian is having a sale atm if you looking for FIA ones:

Get them from the US, or pay 100% markup here in Aus.

That is the only option really. Get them fitted here in US sizing, and problem solved.

Given he doesn't technically need them next weekend (he says in future competition), this upcoming just sounds like a normal club sprint, non competition.

Is a much better idea.

Next trip to the states I'm going massive shopping..
