As can be seen in the Flickr photo I linked, which was taken at Edmonton two weekends ago, Danica does indeed wear AlpineStars driving shoes. Since the IRL requires fireproof (Nomex) protection in all driver shoes, she is most likely wearing either their 1-T or 1-Z model. Basically, they have a different type of leather used in the two different models, but the shoes are otherwise the same. Unfortunately, you can't tell the difference in the model number just by looking at them in a picture.
AlpineStars shoes can be bought directly from the company, as can all of their products. The 1-T model is $239.95 plus shipping and the 1-Z model is $289.95 plus shipping. There are several other places on the Internet where AlpineStars racing gear can be bought. However, there's no guarantee that they will be any cheaper, especially when factoring in the s%26amp;h. If you choose to buy elsewhere, you can search for "AlpineStars 1-T" or "AlpineStars 1-Z" and make your choice then.
BTW, all of this info assumes that Danica isn't wearing some experimental or custom version shoes that are not made available to the public. It is common for racing safety companies to try out new products designs, formulas, builds, etc by allowing their contracted drivers to use them first or exclusively.Please Help!!! Where can i get the racing shoes that Danica Patrick wears?
Just because AlpineStars gave Danica a custom thread color doesn't mean the complete shoe is a custom build. FWIW, if you buy the black 1-Z and color its white threads with a bright green marker, you probably have the same thing she is wearing right now.
