Maldwyn Jones

The Steel Shoe Trend-Setter

One especially notable accomplishment of Maldwyn Jones was his broadsliding trick. Many riders of the time were known for holding their left foot just above the track when they raced. If their motorcycle lost traction, they would use their foot to regain the traction and prevent a fall. As a result, their leather boots wore out quickly, costing a lot of money to replace.

 

Maldwyn Jones thought that a steel boot would not wear out as quickly. As a result, he began riding with a piece of steel underneath his sole. This caught on quickly, with adjustments made to make steel boots a helpful, money-saving tool for racers everywhere.
