DMT KR1 Road Shoes – Black

The KR1 is the shoe that started the Engineered Knit revolution. DMT was the first brand to develop this technology, which has since been widely adopted by other brands. However, DMT’s proprietary knit technology still outclasses its competitors in every aspect including weight, fit and comfort.

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 provide race winning energy transfer.

This is the ideal shoe for you if you are looking for a top-level, incredibly lightweight road shoe that offers a perfect fit and optimum power transfer.

“My cycling shoes must fit like a sock and turn power into speed. I am proud to have helped personally develop these shoes” – Elia Viviani, Italian & Olympic Champion

THE BENEFITS OF DMT KNIT:

This means it offers ALL cyclists for the first time, whatever their level of riding, a shoe that fits as comfortably as a glove!
• Engineered 3D Knit features a multi-layer, once piece construction that flexes and conforms to the individual shape of each rider’s foot, offering a truly comfortable and customised fit.
• Mapping technology has been used to design the different integrated structures within the knit, ensuring perfect support for the foot across all areas. The upper wraps around the foot without compressing it in any way
• DMT Knit is not only incredibly lightweight, but it is also highly breathable, wicking moisture away from your feet, much like the fabric of your cycling jersey works to keep you dry when you are riding hard.
