If you're serious about racing or just spending long hours in the pit, the Alpinestars Radar Racing Shoe is something you need to check out. This isn't just another racing shoe; it's fully FIA homologated, which means it meets the strict safety standards required for professional motorsports. I've spent countless hours in the garage and on the track, and these shoes have been a game changer for me.
One of the first things you'll notice is the reinforced heel and toe box. Trust me, when you're rushing to change tires or making adjustments, you want that extra durability. The shoe is crafted from leather with bycast carbon leather on the heel and toe areas, which not only looks sleek but also adds a layer of protection against wear and tear. Plus, the fireproof Nomex fabric gives you peace of mind knowing your feet are safe from heat and flames.
Comfort is key, and Alpinestars got it right with the dual closure system. You’ve got an adjustable hook and loop strap along with a traditional lacing system, so you can really dial in that fit. No more worrying about your shoes slipping off mid-pit stop. And for those hot days, the strategically placed perforated zones offer some much-needed airflow, helping keep your feet cool when the pressure is on.
Another detail worth mentioning is the collar padding made from Nitrile rubber. It's lightweight and comfy, making it easier to stay on your feet for long stretches without feeling like you’re dragging bricks around. The tongue is also padded and perforated, which adds to the overall comfort and breathability.
When you’re in the thick of things, the lower cut at the back of the collar really shines. It allows for greater movement around the Achilles’ heel, which is a must when you’re bending and kneeling. The ankle support is solid, giving you that extra stability when you’re darting around the pit. And let’s not forget the exclusive rubber compound sole from Alpinestars, paired with soft EVA for that perfect mix of support and grip. You’ll feel confident on your feet, whether you’re sprinting to the next task or just hanging out in the garage.
In short, if you want a shoe that’s built for the rigors of racing and offers comfort and safety, the Alpinestars Radar Racing Shoe is definitely worth considering. It's designed for the pros, but honestly, anyone who spends time in a high-pressure environment will appreciate what these shoes bring to the table.

Who is Behind PCI Race Radios?PCI Race Radios was started in 1972 when Bob Steinberger put communications in the vehicles of Bill Stroppe, Joe MacPherson and Walker Evans. At the 1974 Mint 400, Steinberger sent up three weather balloons with 500 feet of coax attached to them. It was that day when the first successful radio relay from a pit was made. Since then, Bob’s iconic status has spanned through nearly half a century of work with his communications brand, PCI Race Radios.
Bob Steinberger passed away in 2017, handing over the company to his son Scott, who has been racing since 1983. Scott Steinberger understands what goes into racing and the importance of quality (communication) products that help get you to the finish line.
