In two words the DMT Top Gear shoes can be described as 'reworked innovation.' However DMT didn't simply tinker around to say that it did. Instead using racing team feedback the Top Gear sees a reinvention at the carbon fiber sole closure system and uppers. Basically DMT's best just got better. Starting at the heart of the Top Gear shoes the outsole DMT placed a newly redesigned system at the base. Now the Top Gear sees a calculated placement of carbon fiber. In fact DMT's testing shows that this outsole design demonstrates less dispersion of pedal force in comparison to prior outsole iterations. So the rigidity in respect to the pedaling platform has been strengthened while comfort has also been increased through the outsole's controlled flex. In a way this seems like a balance of opposites however the added forgiveness proves crucial over the course of long berating trail rides. Attached to the carbon outsole you'll find a fully-replaceable polyurethane tread. DMT actually constructed this from three independent pieces (toe heel and cleat area) so that replacement tread is applied only where it's needed. The tread compound is highly durable and better yet it's features an incredible grip for quick upward scrambles on nasty trail sections. Moving up the shoe we start to see the true brilliance of DMT at work. For the closure system there are two hook-and-loop straps that control the volume of the shoes while DMT's Micro Closure ratcheting buckle controls the general tightness and security. And new for this year the Micro Closure has been made lighter and 10mm smaller than prior iterations. However this shrinkage doesn't inhibit the functionality of the fastener as it still pulls the strap an acute 6mm per pull of the lever. Your foot security is also assured from the Top Gear's External heel counter. This design keeps the heel in place on the upstroke of the pedal nearly eliminating power-sapping heel slip. Additionally the he...
