FAQs
Can I use these shoes for daily walking?
No, these shoes are designed exclusively for SIM-racing. The thin outsole lacks the support and durability needed for outdoor walking.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean them with a damp cloth. Machine washing may damage the adhesive and the specific structure of the knitted upper.
How should the shoe fit?
The fit should be snug and sock-like. Because of the stretch-fit textile, it should feel secure without being constricting.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They are designed for maximum pedal sensitivity and a low profile, so they provide minimal arch support compared to a standard running shoe.
Are they compatible with all pedal types?
Yes, their low-profile design makes them compatible with most pedal configurations, including inverted and floor-mounted setups.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too much pressure across the top of the foot
The knitted material is designed to be form-fitting. Ensure the shoe is pulled fully onto the heel; if the tightness persists, ensure no socks are bunched underneath.
Sole feels slippery on the pedal
Ensure the rubber outsole is free from dust or debris. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the sole to restore the intended grip level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Alpinestars Tech Gaming shoes, consider these guidelines:
- Setup: Before your first session, test the clearance between your pedals. The low-profile design is meant to prevent accidental activation of adjacent pedals.
- Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for standard SIM-racing pedal sets. They perform best on metal or rubberized pedal surfaces.
- Care: Keep these shoes for indoor use only. Avoid wearing them outside to prevent wear and tear on the specialized rubber outsole. To clean, wipe with a damp, soft cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the knitted upper.
