- foot wear racing racing shoes
These would go great with the zebra umbrella I've been promising the umbrella girls the last 2 races or so
do these offer enough ankle protection
Heehaw...heehaw! Those are painted donkey's down in TJ, not zebra's. What size is a zebra?
Like those vans pictured, they have ankle padding and leather toes. everything you need in a lightweight racing shoe.
My buddy has a pair of racing shoes for karting, and they have less protection than vans, and a thinner sole.
If we ever have to wear motorcycle boots, we might as well have motorcycle engines and tires. no way i could pedal in those. too bulky, no grip, no flexability.

That's good if your Van's high tops have ankle padding.
However a layer of canvas does not count as ankle protection.
Their is no comparison between kart shoes and what is needed on a 2 wheeled vehiclle.
I've seen lightweight motorcycle boots but they come up just below the knee and don't have the flexibilty of a good pair of hitops.
With a bike like scotto's i'd probably where boots, but anything i have to pedal i'm sticking with vans.
I've taken many "sharkbites" from skateboards to the ankles and vans do a good job of protecting them.
For years the classic hitop vans were the main shoe in bmx.

This is what I've worn in all the past motorized bicycle races... my high top Nikes or my work boots... They both protect the ankles pretty good.
