CyclistKicking up dust: The new DMT IAAN gravel shoesThe all-new DMT IAAN gravel shoe is designed for those of us who prioritise riding at speed and in comfort rather than seeking out the gnarliest rock-strewn off-road terrain. By combining peerless practicality with lightweight, speed-focused design, the Italian company just might have created the ideal shoe for leaving the limits of tarmac behind.DMTThe shoes innovative, transparent and lightweight upper uses what DMT calls dimple technology (think golf balls) to optimise airflow, reduce drag and increase performance at head-down, full tilt velocity. Beyond the clear aerodynamic benefits, the IAANs transparent mesh construction employs polyamide and TPU materials to bolster the shoes structure without adding bulk, for increased stability and breathability.DMTBut speed is nothing without control, and this is where the DMT IAAN plays its trump card. These shoes arent designed for maximum performance at the expense of comfort and practicality. A newly developed sole offers enhanced grip through a softer compound and redesigned tread blocks, for better traction both on the ride and when walking across mixed surfaces, giving you all the multi-purpose versatility you could ever ask for from a pair of gravel shoes.DMTs IAAN shoes are designed to strike the perfect balance between performance, practicality and riding comfort.DMTThe toe box of the shoe has been reinforced to offer extra protection from the inevitable impacts that off-road riding throws at us, while the precise fit adjustment provided by an asymmetric Boa dial closure system is designed to reduce instep pressure points and bolster riding comfort off the beaten track.Practical, light, protective, rapid the DMT IAAN sets a new standard for performance gravel riding.DMT IAAN shoes are available in either white/lilac or sand for 279.
