Many drivers put a lot of thought into choosing race car safety gear. To ensure protection, they will spend top dollar on a fire suit, head and neck restraint, and the helmet. But often racing shoes and gloves are a bit of an afterthought.
The truth is, finding the right racing shoe could be the differentiating factor that could save your life on the track. That’s because, in all motorsports, every second counts. A decision made and applied in two seconds could be half a second too late. If your shoes aren’t perfectly fit for the racer, or they are not comfortable, or they constrain movement even a little bit, they could cost a driver the race… and in serious situations, his life.
On the track, it is crucial that your foot can effortlessly move from the gas, clutch, and brake with zero delay or complications.
That’s why at Day Motor Sports, we offer a wide range of racing shoes from the most trusted brands by NASCAR drivers, drag racers, sprint car racing, and everything in between. Many of our racing shoes have excellent SFI ratings and are built for the toughest racing conditions.

RaceQuip’s 303 Midtop is one of the most popular racing shoes available on the market. Racing teams love its combination of driver-friendly features, comfort, and protection. But they love how affordable the 303 Midtop is.
The 303 Series has classic American styling and has been manufactured for durability. It includes reinforced lace area, double-stitched seams, and a rubber sole that extends over the heel to provide extra support when driving.

RaceQuip auto racing shoes feet almost like any other athletic shoe. They’re a little more narrow around the toes to provide extra maneuverability in the pedal box, though.
When selecting a RaceQuip shoe, it’s important to remember that you’ll most likely be wearing them with a thick Nomex, fire-retardant sock as well. RaceQuip recommends that you purchase a racing shoe that’s ½ to 1 size larger than you normally wear.
If you’re purchasing RaceQuip shoes for a woman, add 1.5 to the shoe’s listed size. This will give you the women’s shoe measurement for.
RaceQuip recommends that drivers with wide feet purchase their racing shoes at least a half size larger than you normally wear.
