SFI-20 Boots/Shoes requirements

[arush]

I need to purchase SFI-20 boots for my blown FED application.
I see that Sparco came out with an SFI-20 shoe.
Anyone know if this would be legal for my set up ? I am running a Powerglide with a Reid case that is exposed to the driver.

I would be interested in this also

I wear the DJ Safety -20 shoe/boot it's a hard sole and I would recommend http://djsafety.com/product/driving-boots-sfi-20/

Call Big Ben at DJ Safety and he can hook you up with what you need

Paul, appreciate the feed back.
I was looking at the DJ Safety shoe/boot and will probably go with route if I don't hear anything positive about the Sparco sfi 20 shoes.
What I like about the Sparco shoes is that it is actually a shoe and not a bulky boot.
I was just thinking that would make it easier to get into and out of the cockpit in a hurry if needed.

I just read about the Sparco -20 boots and if they have a -20 rating to them they would have to pass tech but I can tell you that the -20 boots I have are not cumbersome. I use to run a pair of Stroud -15 and I would wear a pair of -5 shoes under them and they were very bulky.

One area that one should not scrimp on, Burns to the feet and ankles are very painful and the effects last forever

Yep. On the odd occasion that I get to drive I wear Carbon X long johns, Nomex race shoes and funny car boots. The more layers between you and the hot stuff, the better.

Watch This it might make up your mind

That looked like a nice dragster and I assume that it had a Reid style case.
After watching that video, it makes me want to wear the sfi-20 shoe inside of the sfi-20 boot.

Did you notice what looks like the converter in the upper left half of the screen ! Sometimes I think we all need a little reminder how dangerous racing can be ! Stay safe everybody !
