The OMP Carrera Low Boots are driving shoes for those who need full Nomex-lined, FIA homologated (FIA 8856-2000) boots suitable for both modern and vintage motorsport applications. The classic design of the boots also makes them perfectly suited to those who want a driving shoe for their weekend blast up Mulholland Drive or down a coastal highway.
Each pair is made from high-quality treated leather with an ulrtrasoft feel, they have contrasting inserts, a fire-proof Nomex lining, a laced closure, and a handcrafted rubber sole which is hydrocarbon resistant.
