Fire Resistant Socks
What makes racing socks flame-resistant?
Fire-retardant auto racing socks are made from specialty flame- and heat-resistant fibers and materials, including Nomex® and CarbonX®—and sometimes, even melt-proof, flame-resistant merino wool.
Why wear fire-resistant socks for racing?
Many tracks require that drivers wear SFI-approved racing socks: Fire-resistant socks provide an extra layer of protection inside your racing shoes, to create an additional barrier between hazards and your skin. Additionally, moisture-wicking properties keep your feet dry and comfortable while you're at the track.
