Gary Kinzler at Lightshoe has been building hotshoes for quite a few years now, and a few years ago I had the opportunity to use one of Gary's shoes and noticed right away just how light it was, and what a nice change it was to have something lighter on my foot after a long day at the race track. There have been a lot of changes to his shoes over the years to make them work as best as possible. I just recently won the 2009 Daytona Grand National Short track with my new Lightshoe on, so yeah, they work great!

I have been wearing a Lightshoe for several years now and it has been great working with Gary to try and help him develop the best steel shoe available. The shoes slide great and the craftsmen ship is awesome. The best thing about Gary is he will take the time to cater to each users needs and make sure you get the most out of your steel shoe. I have owned about every different kind of boot imaginable and Lightshoe gets the proper fit you need regardless of your boot preference. Next time your in the market for a steel shoe I would suggest a Lightshoe, it's all I wear.

I was first introduced to Gary Kinzler and his Lightshoe at the Sturgis short track in 2005. At the time I was wearing a Maely shoe and the old Maely boots that frankly didn't offer much protection. I wanted to switch to a trials boot so I asked Gary to build me a Lightshoe. It was a very good decision. I was impressed with the look and feel of the shoe when it arrived and even more satisfied when I tried it out. Later on, Gary built me a great shoe for a hard-to-fit road race boot. It works perfectly. Even though I'm a senior rider, he gives me the same attention that he offers the young up and comers and pros that wear his shoes. His turnaround time is outstanding and he stands by his product. Because of Gary's craftsmanship and his constant quest for perfection, I believe each new owner of a Lightshoe will be extremely satisfied. I know I am.
