DMT 23 SH10 – Hybrid Road Cycling Shoes

The DMT 23 SH10 combines a hybrid upper material made of Engineered 3D Knit in the forefoot with stable microfiber at the instep and heel. The perfect fit is ensured by the BOA L6 Dial Z system with two separately adjustable zones, which finely distributes pressure and allows quick adjustments. The stiff Air Tech Carbon sole transfers your power efficiently, while reflective logos provide visibility in twilight conditions. Additionally, the sole offers 8 mm cleat adjustment range for individual positioning, and a newly constructed heel cup permanently improves heel retention. This combination of features makes the SH10 a versatile road cycling shoe for ambitious riders in Switzerland.

Technical Details and Functions

The 3D Knit zone wraps around the forefoot like a sock, adapts slightly during long rides and dries quickly – ideal when it gets warm on the road or the climb becomes sweat-inducing. At the same time, microfiber elements at the instep and heel stabilize the foot, so the shoe guides precisely even during sprints and out-of-saddle efforts. Via the dual BOA L6 Dial Z you control upper and lower instep independently, which reduces pressure points and improves retention. The Air Tech Carbon sole has been optimized for stiffness and ventilation, so watts transfer to the drivetrain with minimal loss. For fine-tuning pedaling biomechanics, the 8 mm cleat adjustment range is available, while the new heel cup supports retention and minimizes friction. In specialist press tests, lightweight construction and ventilation were highlighted; measurements showed around 215 g per shoe in size 41.

Applications and Benefits

The SH10 shows its strengths on Swiss roads – from long flat sections along the Rhine to alpine passes like the Albula. Thanks to excellent breathability, the foot stays pleasantly cool in summer heat, which can reduce fatigue on long training rides. For spring and autumn, the temperature range can easily be extended with overshoes, as the knit material dries quickly but provides less insulation. The BOA system facilitates quick readjustments before sprints or on ramps, without removing the shoe. The combination of tight carbon sole and secure heel guidance supports clean pedaling and efficient climbing, even at high power output. Experience reports from tests confirm exactly this mix of comfort, ventilation and stability.

Fit and Size Selection

The fit is sporty-precise and tends to be narrower; those with very wide feet should try on the size when in doubt or consider half a size up. The 3D Knit construction adapts to the foot and compensates for slight volume fluctuations during long rides, without creating pressure points. Two BOA dial closures allow separate tension control of forefoot and instep, which is particularly noticeable on long alpine stages. Specialist tests highlight the sock-like fit, but point out that extremely wide feet have less room. This way you find the balance between tight retention for sprints and enough comfort for marathons.

Care and Service

For care, mild soap or a damp cloth is sufficient; you should avoid solvents or aggressive cleaners to protect material and color. The knit upper material dries quickly, which increases everyday usability after rainy rides and prevents odor formation. Store the shoes dry and protected from direct heat, so the carbon sole and BOA components work precisely long-term. DMT grants 2 years warranty on all shoes, which additionally secures the SH10. This way your pair of SH10 stays in shape for a long time – from commute intervals to pass hunting.
