Having properly fitting boots is an important piece of our karting equipment, and since you can't find proper racing boots at SportChek, where do you buy your boots from?
In the past, I've been lucky to find boots at the Puma outlet stores in the US, but if I wanted to buy a different brand, I wouldn't know where to look. Any suggestions?
Where do people buy their racing boots????

I ordered a few suits from here and they are decent and come with boots and gloves. Not awesome quality but for the price I think they're decent value. The online order form is a bit lacking (no sizes etc.) but a few emails back and forth and it was all sorted out and I got exactly what I ordered with quick shipping time. Plus you can order some cute tights for your wife/GF and maybe a cell phone cover and some socks and underwear. Quite the random selection of merchandise...

Re: Where do people buy their racing boots????
I have bought kids' suits from Red Camel and when you consider how kids treat their suits and how fast they grow, they are good value. That being said, they are made in Pakistan and don't match the european quality.
For example, the boots that came with Alex's suit literally fell apart after 4 races.
So, the suits are reasonable, particularly given the low cost but anything else you get in the package is iffy.
