DMT Men's Kr1 Road Cycling Shoes

Product Information

Of all the different accessories that play a role in every cyclist’s life, it’s been our shoes that have kept us at a crossroads of form and function. Not only do cycling shoes play an important performance role, but let’s be honest, once we slip on a pair that have the look and feel we want, they also have a certain Cinderella effect that, too, can help carry us away. Please enclose all your details and a covering note explaining the fault and any other useful details. The KR1 has been developed in collaboration with and worn to victory by Elia Viviani, Tadej Pogacar and other Pro riders. It offers incredible comfort that will forever change how you think about cycling shoes. Light, breathable, proprietary Engineered 3D Knit construction eliminates pressure points, fits like a glove, is super breathable and thanks to the super supportive anatomic carbon outsole provides race winning energy transfer.

DMT has always been at the forefront of high end cycling shoes, and I’ve personally had the good fortune of riding and reviewing most of the Italian brand’s top-of-the-line models over the last few years, including the far-out RS1 that was designed in partnership with sprinter extraordinaire Elia Viviani. In addition to the single BOA closure, what also plays a significant role in keeping the weight down is the Dyneema material used for the top part of the upper. The Dyneema has a visual and tactile resemblance to sail cloth and seems more durable than the material used below. DMT: Owing to the way the upper material envelops the foot, the first thing you notice about the DMT is how difficult it can be to slip your foot inside. Although there is a small pull-tab on the tongue, it could really use one on the heel. The same can be said about taking the shoe off.

Faulty items should be returned within a reasonable time and in a clean and dry condition. PLEASE NOTE, WE WILL NOT PROCESS DIRTY ITEMS. The soles are comprised of Specialized’s own FACT Powerline carbon with a standard three-bolt cleat pattern, four big mesh covered vents, titanium cleat nuts and a replaceable heel tread. Like the RS1, the KR1 was also developed alongside Viviani, who rigorously tested the shoe during last year’s WorldTour calendar prior to its release. We use Fedex for all deliveries outside of the EU for EU deliveries we use GLS. Our prices start at the below prices but increase depending on the size of the items being posted. Knit fabrics aren’t exactly hardy, so DMT has infused the lower two thirds of the upper with a polymer that toughens up the fabric and provides a bit of splash proofing too. It also adds to the structure of the upper giving support and solidity laterally while allowing the tongue area and the ankle cuff total freedom.

Once on, the KR1 feels snug thanks to the 3D Knit anatomical liner, but not to the extent the shoe feels undersized. So whenever you shop with us at Velozonee, we promise that not only will you receive top level customer service but the best prices too. Given the RS1’s bold, innovative skeletal construction, it was hard to imagine that DMT could come up with a new design that could surpass it in terms of technology and design. While the EXOS is an impressive advance in both design and technology, without a longer field test (which will come) we were left unsure about their overall durability. In a controlled racing environment where both every ounce of weight and degree of stiffness is a gift for forward momentum, the EXOS can’t be beat. This is a shoe that alters the debate about how much we can do without while still offering top-level performance.

Sidi Sixty Road Shoes

For hygiene reasons, any intimate garments such as facemasks, underwear and swimsuits can only be returned if the items are faulty. After riding in wet conditions stuff the shoes with dry paper or cloth to soak up any excess moisture and allow to dry in a warm (not hot) place, which is well-ventilated and out of direct sunlight The sole has proven its worth under my original KR1’s, and is as stiff as I need it for my 140lbs climber’s build. Everyone has a different way of interpreting tactile information, so I can only comment on myself, but if this show is stiff enough for a Tour de France winner, I’m sure it’ll work for you. We will only match the prices of UK retailers selling in GBP, we do not price match overseas companies.

Whether it’s a jersey that doesn’t fit, or the colour is not quite right, sometimes you’ll need to return items to us. This is the ideal shoe for you if you are looking for a top level, incredibly lightweight road shoe which offers perfect fit and optimum power transfer.

Let's say like me, you wanted a shoe that was stiff but comfortable, well-ventilated upper yet robust, had a tight-fitting heel but ample width from the metatarsal forward (including a roomy toe box), and a knitted/flexible upper so as to conform to the foot without crushing the top of it or creating weird hot spots... would the KR1 be at the top of your list?
