Welcome to our all-new website! We’ve made learning about, and purchasing the best hotshoe in the world even easier.
Lightshoe is owned and operated by Gary Kinzler. Gary’s idea of creating a lighter hotshoe came in 1998 as he watched riders in the pits. Realizing the weight of most steel shoes, he decided to develop a high performance shoe that weighed less. His machinist background and his own racing experience gave him just the knowledge he needed. With Scott Parker as his first sponsored rider, the first aluminum Lightshoe was built. Gary later perfected the Lightshoe by switching from aluminum to steel.
The goal here at Lightshoe is to make sure that all of our customers are satisfied and get a product they can trust. Our customers always get the attention and dedication they deserve!
