Not much more than a good pair of shoes and comfortable clothing are needed to race walk.

Racewalking Shoes - I personally have had very good results with Mizunos in the past. Here is link to an article by Dave McGovern regarding the proper shoes for racewalking. Dave also has a section on his site with the Latest Racelking Shoe Deals.

Or you can do like Govindasamy Saravanan of Malaysia. It is photo of Govindasamy race walking barefoot. Yikes! (Update September 1998: Maybe there is something to this. Govindasamy won the gold medal at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia first gold medal. I wonder if he walked bare foot.
