I was looking for a shoe to replace my Fiz ik road shoes and recalled how much I liked my old DMT R3 shoes. After some research, I opted to purchase the KR1's instead of the newer (and pricier) KR0's. After a couple rides in which I got my cleat placement dialed in and a couple more longer rides, I felt being able to review the shoe.
Pros: the knit upper is super comfortable and fits like a pair of slippers. The single Boa closure evenly distributes the pressure of the wire across the top of my feet. The carbon sole is incredibly stiff and has nice ventilation along the bottom. Straight last with a narrow fit and adequate arch support.
Cons: the rear of the heel has virtually no padding and started to rub against my lower Achilles, causing some mild discomfort until I adjusted the Boa just right. Second, the price. After tax, $420 USD.
Overall, a superb shoe that fits perfectly, looks pro, and provides great performance.

3D KNIT TECHNOLOGY
In the span of a few years, sport shoes have undergone a real revolution. The knitted structure has now become the standard in sports, such as running and football.
Engineered knit construction changes the way that cycling shoes fit and feel.
DMT has been producing knitted footwear for important sports brands for more than 10-years. In 2018, after 12 months of development, we transferred this new technology to the world of cycling with the first shoe with a fully knit upper. Today we have extended the use of Engineered 3D Knit technology to the whole DMT 2022 collection.
Literally the next generation of footwear technology. At DMT, we are specialists in producing technical knit footwear. Working with the most demanding athletes we have ensured that there is no compromise between comfort and performance. Using technical yarns and specific Engineered Knit structures, we match the exact needs for each style of cycling and each zone of the shoe. Trying on a pair of DMT knit shoes will completely change the way that you think of cycling footwear. Light, less bulky, excellent fit, superior breathability and fast drying. With no compromise between fit and support thanks to the slightly elastic construction, our goal is that you forget that you are even wearing shoes on your next ride.
