Sim Racing Shoes
Feel the road, even when it's virtual.
Real racers know you drive the car with your feet as much as the steering wheel.
When you’re racing for milliseconds, your connection to the pedals matters.
For control, precision, tactile feedback, and heel-to-toe comfort throughout the race, you need footwear that gives you all that.
Brian McRae from Top Flight Sim Racing has found those shoes… Xero Shoes
Top 3 Performance Driving Shoes
HFS II
"Enduro racer"
My go-to shoe for managing fatigue during endurance races.
You get a stable platform with the 5mm FeelTrue® rubber sole, add a thin BareFoam™ layer for comfort and a total 9mm stack height for a connected, comfortable long ride.
HFS Original
"Sprint Racer"
For shorter races, where fatigue is not an issue, or on stock or oval tracks where there's less footwork, I wear the HFS Original.
A 7.5mm stack height and tire-inspired tread gives you great barefoot feel that’s like driving in socks but with better grip and control.
Speed Force II
"GT Racer"
Our team's favorite. This is the lightest, thinnest, most breathable, and closest to an actual racing shoe in the lineup.
With a 4.5mm flexible FeelTrue® sole, this shoe is as performance-friendly in a stock car sprint race as it is in a 24-hour endurance.
Key features that make your SIM racing better
Wider, foot-shaped toe box- your toes can spread naturally, for natural comfort and better heel/toe shifting
Non-elevated ("zero-drop") heel - connect to the pedal with your whole foot
Customized feel - Xero Shoes have a removable 3mm insole. Keep it in for extra comfort or remove it for a more responsive connection to the pedals.
Lightweight- you may forget you're even wearing them... really.
Natural Comfort
Wide toe boxes let your toes spread and relax. "Zero-drop" non-elevated heel for proper posture.
Natural Performance
Our FeelTrue sole protects your foot while giving your brain the feedback and stimulation required.
Natural Health
Flexible soles let your foot bend and flex naturally. Low-to-the-ground design for balance and agility.
From the Sim to the gym... and back
Drivers and weightlifters know that power starts with your feet.
All three of the sim racing shoes above are just as helpful when training in the gym.
And even if you don’t lift, research shows that merely walking in a minimalist shoe builds foot strength as much as a foot exercise program.
Bring Xero Shoes to the gym or enjoy them in your daily life.
