In terms of racing gear and apparels, Vale is as loyal as his fans. After he won the world title, he was entitled to using number 1 for his bike. But he refused. He sticks to his signature number: 46.
Same goes to his racing boots and leathers. He has been loyal to Dainese even since he started his Grand Prix career in 1996.
Every racing gear is custom made for the racer. So, you cannot buy the exact same racing boots as Vale’s. But you can get the replica for $400 per pair. Why is it more expensive than football shoes and even F1 boots? His racing boots are made to protect his feet from contacts with the track surface while inclining on fast turns.
