Description
DESCRIPTION:
The Tech-1 Z V2 shoe boasts a new “Sock” construction which is designed to deliver a more sock-like fit. The lightweight shoe has a more contoured shape and is thus more proportioned to better adapt to the morphology of the feet, thereby improving comfort in the cockpit and reducing driver fatigue. There is also an ergonomic footbed to ensure the foot maintains a natural, comfortable posture while also allowing maximum flexibility, support and free foot movement. FIA SAFETY STANDARDS
