I really don’t understand the useability of laced shoes. During a lot of rides I like to tighten, or loosen, the boas to keep them tight / comfortable. How do you do this with laced shoes?
@@discbrakefanmy experience is the opposite, my Boa shoes always stay nice and tight over a ride but I always have to tighten my lace shoes during a ride
absolutely my favorite shoes..I have been doing all my races in it, mainly climbs/mountain races and they are just wonderful..super confortable even over 6/7h rides
@@tigermafia8463 not at all, but heel comfort is really subjective..I have a normal, round heel, people with really skinny heel might have this problem
@@Alex-w8z9bnever had any problem with the laces.. once done, they are stored inside a pocket on the upper of the shoe.. also the heel cup is much stronger and enveloping in the new model
Fun fact laced shoes at this point are 100% more aerodynamic. Alex Downset just posted a video confirming it in the wind tunnel. Would suggest checking it out. Otherwise loved the review Chris! windtunnel video: ruclips.net/video/x5w42N9VbTE/видео.html
I've got a set of DMTs. some kind of knit with one boa. absolutely hate it. the knit is both tight and loose, so tight I can't get my foot in, yet once it's in it's too way soft and the foot over too much. still trying to find the right shoe, but DMT isn't it.
Thanks for the great review. I am considering them for Summe rides because of the look. You mentioned sizing in your review. What is your standard shoe size? Have you bought them slightly bigger?
Comfort and function. everything else is just something you deal with. these do come in black, so i do not get the point of dwelling on color at all (which was most of the video!)
To be fair, they do offer a boa version. But you would be surprised, there is still a big market for the laces option. It's not for me, but so many people love them.
The width trend is ridiculous. I have marginally narrower than average feet and am now basically limited to about 3 brands because the bike industry suddenly thinks most people have elephant feet.
$500 is pretty standard for “top of the line” shoes these days. Not saying they are worth that, but more that if you in the market for a brand top of the line shoe, you are looking at that number.
Might be a bit of clickbait, but I stand by the review. Covered loads of things that you are likely to face when considering the shoes. Happy to answer any more questions.
@@ChrisMillerCycling you can of course stand with the review but please do thumbnails wich say review and not "will these increase my ftp" because if this should be the content i expect scientific tests (FTP Tests, power and balance insole test)...it was just feedback that i felt a bit fooled by the content - eventhough i really appreciate the feedback by a bikefitter (wich is not a save profession to mentioned because it doesn't require any studying just some trainings/ courses)
Sidi last longer and look better, and if you come at me on weight, just go to the toilet before you go out to ride....... makes me laugh as most folks with any sense stick a G8 foot sole in or a custom, which add weight...... just get the sidi shots....
Couldn't agree more. I have 5 pairs of SiDis in the bike room-- one pair has to be 12 years old or older. A little tattered but still perfectly functional. Latest pair is stiff and comfortable. Take the small logo off a SiDi 60 and I bet the fellow below couldn't tell them from any other brand.
Chris, my bro, you lost a lot of credibility with this review -- and it's not because I use DMTs, I wear Giros. First of all, most ordinary pros will never ever come close to Tadej and you will never ever by Tadej. And no, getting the same gear won't make you Tadej. Second, bro, the most important thing re performance is transfer of power and that's in the stiffness of the sole. Is it a carbon sole, for example? Third, if you like knits for comfort, there are many other brands that don't come in prissy, precious white. Signed and signing off -- Former Subscriber

You can’t, but also they don’t really loosen off and the tension is more even across the shoe
Totally agree. It just blows my mind that TP can do a 5 hour TdF stage ... drop everyone in the final hour ... all without adjusting his shoes.

They stick around for the good time but not a long time:) great review
Why?
So now that it's 4 months on, how's the durability?
Great Video. Do I understand it right that this shoes should fit on wide feed?
absolutely my favorite shoes..I have been doing all my races in it, mainly climbs/mountain races and they are just wonderful..super confortable even over 6/7h rides
does the heel slip around whilst riding?
@@tigermafia8463 not at all, but heel comfort is really subjective..I have a normal, round heel, people with really skinny heel might have this problem
@@io8787do the laces come undone easily and how long do they take to put on and if they do come of do they get in the way of riding
@@Alex-w8z9bnever had any problem with the laces.. once done, they are stored inside a pocket on the upper of the shoe.. also the heel cup is much stronger and enveloping in the new model
When's the follow up video coming out?

I've got the Dmt kr3 and they feel like I'm riding in socks with cleats. Pretty comfortable. Had s-works 7 prior and they were a way better shoe.
Why kr3 are better then s-works 7?
@@Pablo_Coach other way around
@@TheMASDrummer hmm You don't have regulation on the fly in dmt. I think that s-works are far better
@@Pablo_Coach I just said that
How do you like the retul footbeds?
Tadej could win in slippers 😆
Is that Rapha nail polish ? I went straight to the Rapha website but couldn't find it?
With a knitted white shoe consider a protective fabric coating

So sounds like they’re just gonna be great for warm good weather rides yah?
Do you still get pain in your left knee?
Tadej could be wearing Birkenstock sandals and still beat 99.9% of people in cycling events.
Doubtful

don't have this but am very interested in purchasing ...
They need some 3M Scotchguard spray !!
Funny you mention that, we just put some on the weekly grocery shop. I'll let you know how it goes.
@@ChrisMillerCycling Pretty sure it will inhibit ventilation to some extent.
Nice and easy setup
Thanks Chris.
They may be bit wider now but front taper is so aggressive, still the Italian dress shoe shape unfortunately.
What custom insoles are you using Chris?
Retuel ones. I was using the Cobra 9 ones, but the place that did them closed down here in Sydney so I jumped to these ones.
Nice nail polish 👌
high end shoes that use laces, you'd think they would come up with something new? the boa's are superior.
To be fair, they do offer a boa version. But you would be surprised, there is still a big market for the laces option. It's not for me, but so many people love them.
Fatal or Fatel?? 😁😁 Is that Auzzy?
Insoles - yeah OEM insoles really suck given the total cost.
Shoes? Nothing to say about Jai Hindley's Giro victory! You must be kidding me!
I know this goes against the grain but while white shoes look great and is the "norm" for cycling shoes, it's a very bad idea.
One word - BONT
The width trend is ridiculous. I have marginally narrower than average feet and am now basically limited to about 3 brands because the bike industry suddenly thinks most people have elephant feet.
Most people do have wider than traditionally normal for cycling shoes feet.
This shoes are damn expensive...
$500 way overpriced for the quality.
$500 is pretty standard for “top of the line” shoes these days. Not saying they are worth that, but more that if you in the market for a brand top of the line shoe, you are looking at that number.
They are constantly discounted for like 150usd(1500nok) in Norway 😅
# 30 rules :) :) :)
Sad cliclbait being used and I always prefer a long term review - but nice that you picked up the opinion of a bikefitter!

Sidi is by far the ugliest cycling shoe out there

Sidi’s are ugly AF.
