Product Information
Full details
The DMT KR30 cycling shoes are designed for adult road cyclists seeking a lightweight, comfortable, and high-performance shoe. Their key benefit is the engineered knit construction offering excellent breathability and a custom-like fit, ensuring maximum comfort during long rides. A potential caveat is the single Boa L6 closure system, which might offer less micro-adjustability than dual systems for some riders. These shoes feature a 3D knit upper for adaptive comfort, an Air Tech Carbon outsole for efficient power transfer, and a secure Boa Fit System.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for triathlon?
While the KR30 offers quick entry and exit thanks to the Boa L6 system, they are primarily designed as road cycling shoes. For triathlon-specific needs, such as a dedicated heel loop for faster transitions, a triathlon-specific shoe might be more advantageous.
What is the weight of the DMT KR30 shoes?
The DMT KR30 shoes weigh approximately 220 grams in a size 42.
Can I use these shoes with mountain bike pedals?
No, the DMT KR30 shoes feature an Air Tech Carbon outsole with a 3-bolt cleat pattern specifically designed for road bike pedal systems. They are not compatible with 2-bolt mountain bike cleats.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by DMT. The shoes should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, with no pressure points. The knit upper offers some flexibility, but a proper fit is crucial for performance and comfort.
What is the warranty period for DMT cycling shoes?
Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Typically, cycling shoes come with a standard manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer's policy for specific details.
Is the knit upper waterproof?
The engineered knit upper is highly breathable but not waterproof. It is designed to allow air circulation, which means it will allow water to pass through if submerged or exposed to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Boa dial is difficult to turn or stuck
Ensure the cable is properly seated within the guides. Try gently wiggling the dial while turning. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism and clean if necessary. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose despite Boa adjustment
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the Boa system. If the fit is still not ideal, consider trying a different size or using aftermarket insoles for better arch support or volume adjustment.
Knit upper shows signs of wear or pilling
This is a common characteristic of knit fabrics. Minor pilling can sometimes be carefully trimmed. Avoid snagging the knit on sharp objects. For significant wear, consult the warranty information.
Cleats do not align properly with pedals
Verify that you are using the correct type of cleat (3-bolt road) and that it is compatible with your pedal system. Ensure the cleat is installed on the shoe according to the manufacturer's instructions and that the bike's pedal system is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The DMT KR30 shoes are designed for immediate use. Ensure the Boa L6 dial is fully loosened before inserting your foot. Place your foot in the shoe and then turn the Boa dial clockwise until a snug, comfortable fit is achieved. To release, pull the Boa dial outwards. The shoes are compatible with all standard 3-bolt road bike pedal systems (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Keo). Ensure your cleats are installed correctly on your cycling shoes for optimal performance and safety.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for road cycling and are compatible with most road bike pedal systems that utilize a 3-bolt cleat mount.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the knit material.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the materials.
- Insoles: Remove insoles for cleaning or drying if necessary. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
