If your looking for a choice then either Grandprix Racewear or Demon Tweeks.

If you know what kind you want then it's sometimes (but not always) worth trying the supplier direct.

You might actually grab a bargain at this time of year as it's end of season.

Try GPR first.

If you do go to Demon thieves or GPRW, look at the karting boots too. The karting boots are usually near enough the same as full race boots, just not fire proof, and therefore cheaper :wink:

Sports Soccer/World shops usually have Puma driving shoes of some sort and they're a hell of a lot cheaper than demon thieves.

Ebay..... :wink:

Last three sets have been from there... much cheapness.

Brand new FIA approved set for £30.
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

If they're for track days and not competition try Bookatrack for Pumas

or if you go to your local Makro you can buy Hi-Tec Squash shoes for about £14 + VAT.
