Arent Daytona's the same as road boots or close enough ? there was an ASI - speedway shop here that sold them $220 ? IIRC, anyhow i think they closed up shop a month back, but any speedway shop/importer would surely have them.

I know this guy makes hot skids for normal MX type boots ;)

Hello My name is Ben Alameda and I make Affordable High quality Steel Shoes,
These shoes are double sided to prevent dirt from packing between boot. They are made ultra light yet strong. I only use the best tungsten carbide hardfacing available. When ordering a shoe I am open to inquiries concerning your riding style so I can make the best possible shoe for you.
Adult sizes with strap: $195 Youth sizes with strap: $165

no they are not the same as road boots i thought that and bought a 46 steel shoe for my 45 road boots dont fit road boot has a lot more sole and heel and are a little wider

Dorothy and Toto can get them ... plus the oil-can

Dennis Alderton used to make ours a long time ago and you can use pretty much whatever boot you want but you have to linish the heel and most of the sole off to make it fit neatly.
I do a bit of metal fab, I should look into making them.

the difference is the left boot is smooth and no heal to take the steel show, right boot has a heal and a grippy surfaced sole
i bought a set of Daytona speedway boots back in 1988 from Kevin Mac Donald in Bathurst for around $430 ::) a lot of money back then :o
-
I noticed most of the guys in the US require the boot to be sent over, which is a pain in the ass.
-
Steve, that's because too loose a fit and it could feel like sticking your foot into a sand pit.
If your interested you could be my guinea pig, but I'll need your boot?

Sounds like a plan Steve. I'll have to sort out a boot as the one i had intended using has fallen apart! (the right foot is sweet as?) I'll get back to you when i get sorted.
The ones Mr Alameda does look good!

OK who wants to put in an order for a hot shoe from Lightshoe. Here is Gary's comments with regard to cost etc, we need a minimu of 3.
"I can build you a hotshoe.The cost is $225 USD.The shipping may become an issue. I was talking with someone from "down under" a while back and looked into shipping costs.It will be about $75-$90 USD for shipping depending how you want it shipped. I will work a deal with you,if you can get me 3 or more to build an send them all at once, I will pay return shipping.Let me know what you think.Gary/Lightshoe"
These are the trickest of the bunch. Who's in?
-
if you have a speedway boot i have a size 45 steel shoe needs a bit of work
jim
-
They wont cost more than $53 for a posting, and you will be able to get 2 -4 shoes in the USPS flat rate large !

What State are you in Duane and are you interested in offloading it.
Cheers, Steve

Hey sliderulz, I'm in the sunshine state, far north queensland. I'll try & put a foto up on here. Some1 mite know whose it was. I think I got it from mike Farrell when I was a young tacker. My dad use 2 race solos & sidecars back in the 70's up this way.

Duane, the shoe you have doesn't belong to the JA that I imediately thought of, Jim Airey.
I dragged out my old boots yesterday and will attempt to make a shoe to fit over the coming weeks.
There is a lot of work involved in getting the right shape, not to mention putting the hard facing on the bottom without distortion.
I'll take some photos and keep you posted.
-
Any takers on an order from Lightshoe? The dollar is good best chance to buy.
-
Hey guys, this is the steel shoe i have. Hope the fotos work. It would b good to know whose they were.
Cheerz duane.

I went with a speedway boot/shoe set up. Cost a bit but works a treat. Got both from ebay.au and I think the Forma boots are now selling for about $250 a pair (bargain). Feel good straight out of the box.
-
i got a good contact for the straps. piss the leather one off and go for the web double strap only cost about $20 but they sit better an wont come off as you get the double loop around your boot.
