👨🔧 - The trick in Michel (the corner of the expert)

* "Hi the artists of the trajectory! A good pair of karting boots, it's not just for pretty about the pre-grid photo. This is your only point of contact with your brake and accelerator controls. If you ride with Running sneakers with thick sole, you lose all the sensitivity and you risk blocking the wheels or misuse your reminders !

My old pistard trick for your Sparco K-pole: maintenance of the insole grip areas and the choice of size !

First thing: the rubber outsole of these Sparco is a precision model with its differentiated grip areas. The problem in paddocks is that we often walk in oil puddles, spilled essence or abrasive gravel. Take the habit of scratching your soles with a small nylon brush before rising in the tub. A fat sole is the foot that slides the brake pedal at the end of the straight line, and there, it's funny !

Second tip for size: Karting shoes are adjusted, like a glove. Your toes must touch the tip of the ankle without being curled up. If the shoe is too big, your foot will slide inside during big braking and you will lose in an accuracy of dosing. If you hesitate between two sizes or you use a bit thick sports socks, take your usual size, the synthetic leather from Sparco relaxes very slightly after two or three sessions to perfectly marry your foot!

❓ 5. FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: the ankle boots Sparco Are K-Pole approved FIA for automotive competition ?

A: Not. The Sparco K-pole are specifically designed boots for the karting. They do not have FIA FIRE-FILE (8856-2018) approval required for racing cars (sedans, monoplaces, rally) where clothing must be fire-resistant (Nomex). On the other hand, they are perfect for all national karting and leisure competitions.

Q: Is the ultra-fine outsole comfortable if we walk a lot in paddocks ?

A: The rubber sole is voluntarily fine to provide maximum feedback (Feeling) under the Kart pedals. Although they incorporate a reinforced heel and a comfortable anatomical insole, they are studied for piloting. To preserve the wear of the sole, it is advisable to chase standard sneakers for long mechanical works in the stands and to book K-pole for the tracks on the track.

Q: Do these boots resist water in the rain in the rain ?

A: The synthetic leather of the stem offers good initial protection against light water splashes. However, in the case of a model equipped with perforated microfibers on the top to ensure good breathability in summer, the water will eventually end up in continuous showers or heavy rains. For endurance races under a deluge, the use of waterproof over-boots over the ankle boots remains the best solution.
