Description
The RaceQuip Euro Carbon-L Series brings professional-grade safety and performance to the next generation of racers. Designed specifically for young drivers (typically around age 6), these size 12 Youth shoes provide the same high-end features found in adult professional models. The lightweight, flexible design is approximately 30% lighter than standard racing shoes, ensuring that smaller feet can maintain precise pedal control without the bulk or weight of traditional boots.
Safety is paramount for junior racers, and the Euro Carbon-L exceeds the SFI 3.3A/5 rating. The soft suede leather exterior is reinforced with Carbon-L wear pads on both sides of the toe to handle the friction and heat of the cockpit. Inside, a flame-retardant Pyrovatex® liner and internal arch support provide a comfortable, secure environment for extended track sessions. With its sleek European styling and contrast stitching, these shoes offer a unique, professional look for young competitors in karting, quarter midgets, or junior drag racing.

Important Safety Information
For young drivers, properly fitted safety gear is the most important factor in the cockpit. While these RaceQuip Euro Carbon-L shoes are made from high-quality fire-retardant materials, they are designed to be "fire retardant" and not "fireproof." These shoes are a vital part of a junior driver's safety suit, providing essential protection in an emergency. To ensure the best pedal feel and safety, please verify the child's foot measurements against the RaceQuip Youth sizing chart to confirm size 12 is the correct fit.
