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.
( from listing's site ) - The 3-Stripes mark is without doubt the quintessential adidas symbol. It was created by the adidas company founder, Adi Dassler, and first used on footwear in 1949. Dassler created a symbol that could be immediately recognized when his footwear was used in athletic competition and associated with adidas. He emphasized the association with the slogan ÒThe Brand with the 3 StripesÓ. The 3-Stripes were first used on apparel in 1967. The 3-Stripes now enjoy worldwide recognition as an adidas symbol.
Here is the Adidas Race Walk shoe. It is available at Eastbay.

( from listing's site ) - We've made shoes for thousands of customers since 1983. They include world-class runners and racewalkers, people with special health and bio-mechanical conditions, and just plain folks. Many have been with us from the beginning, so that now some of our best friends are people we've never met in person. If you'd like a personal reference, chances are we can put you in touch with someone who has similar interests or problems, or who lives in your neck of the woods. Meanwhile, here are some tidbits from our letter drawer.
