RJS Racing Equipment 500020453 Redline Shoe (Mid-Top)

I use these for two-hour stints in budget enduro road racing, and they are soft and comfortable. My old Piloti high-tops were stiffer-sided, which caused ankle rubbing when used for hours on end. These are called a mid-top, but the lace holes don't go higher than a regular low-top sneaker. The rise of the tongue and sides mainly just helps bridge the gap between your ankle and the cuff of your fire suit, rather than provide rigid support.Sizing was oddly long in my regular size, so I had to return and for one size smaller.

I use these for my sim racing rig and I love them! I only wish they came in wider sizes. They are slowly but surely stretching and are at the point where they are just about comfortable.

I have a Lotus 7 replica kit car with a very narrow footbox. Driving this car in sneakers or shoes is not an option if you only want to hit one pedal at a time. With 400 HP at the rear wheels hitting the gas and brake together is truly terrifying. I'm purchasing a second pair to replace the pair that are starting to wear out. These shoes conform well to my foot, are very comfortable to wear and above all are narrow enough to keep me safe. I had purchased another pair of racing shoes last year when when these got really wet. I quickly learned that not all racing shoes are the same. These are definitely narrower making them excellent for cars like mine with limited foot room.Update - Upon receiving these the picture does not match the actual shoes - They have been updated to the newer model. I compared the soles and these shoes are no wider than the old ones so that's good news. In putting them on the size 10 feels a bit short for my 9.5 foot, not too short but I would not want it any shorter.
