Topic: sfi tags on shoes

hello I just got a used pair of impact racing shoes off eBay and I don't see an sfi tag. are these still ok to run? my friend told me he didn't think it mattered. something about older shoes not having the tags?

I had to get new shoes because the tag fell off my older Simpsons and I failed inspection.  Yes, they need a proper tag showing the cert.

Some Nomex socks don't have tags or other markings but as -SDR- noted, shoes must have tags.

Which for some manufacturers (rhymes with flee-force) it sucks because they don't do a great job putting them on in the first place.
