Racing socks are very popular fashion statements for those who love speed, high performance, and stylish footwear. They have been around ever since the beginning of motor racing, but they are only becoming more popular as technology develops them further. The development of racing shoes has led to advancements in the material used for making the uppers, heel, and soles. High performance socks come with incredibly stiff soles that are not only very comfortable but also give excellent traction on the track. This gives the driver a better driving experience while racing.
As an example, Feringa racing shoes use ultra-light, synthetic nubuck uppers. A racing sock is an essential part of that package, because the material is so thin, Feringa socks can be fitted and worn with most types of dress shoes. Racing socks usually include an anti-slip grip sole to prevent sliding and make sure you stay on top of your game. A good pair of Feringa anti-slip socks will come with an anti-slip grip upper as well, to ensure even more comfort.
Some of the newest advancements in racing socks include the use of anti-slip grip and non-slip grips. Anti-slip grips can be placed over a regular sock to give the driver additional grip and reduce sliding. Narrow toe socks add another dimension to the package by curving the toe to help the toes grip the surface better and provide additional support. The non-slip grip provides additional stability and makes the sock safer to wear. Many drivers like these additions because they are designed to reduce stress and to improve player safety.
