DMT POGI'S SUPERLIGHT SHOES – White

The DMT POGI'S Superlight in white are top-class road cycling shoes, developed in collaboration with Tadej Pogačar for maximum efficiency on Swiss roads and Alpine passes. The fully 3D Knit-constructed upper material is 15% lighter than before and fits like a sock without compromising support. A new Superlight carbon sole ensures direct power transfer while saving additional weight. At just 195g in size 42, the overall weight has been noticeably reduced compared to the predecessor, while the aerodynamically tapered design minimizes air resistance.

  • Fully 3D Knit upper material, 15% lighter than the previous model
  • New Superlight carbon sole with low stack height for maximum stiffness
  • Integrated AeroSafe compartment for clean lace storage
  • Replaceable heel studs made from dual-compound rubber
  • Weight approx. 195g (size 42)
  • ICE-KEY (NFC) tag in left shoe for emergency information
  • Aerodynamically tapered silhouette, optimized for low air resistance
  • Developed with Tadej Pogačar for racing at the highest level

Technical Details and Features

The Superlight carbon sole features a high-stiffness monocoque construction, enabling direct, responsive power transfer. Thanks to reduced stack height, the foot-to-pedal distance is optimized, improving biomechanical efficiency and pedaling feel, especially during long climbs or hard intervals. The 3D Knit upper material provides targeted elasticity and support, remains highly breathable and dries quickly – ideal for changeable Swiss summer weather. The newly positioned AeroSafe pocket ensures laces are stored securely and aerodynamically, while the replaceable heel studs make walking off the bike more comfortable. Additionally, DMT integrates an ICE-KEY (NFC) chip that allows emergency responders to access relevant data in case of emergency, providing an extra safety benefit. Compared to the predecessor, the weight in size 42 drops by around 11% to 195g, supported by the lighter upper material and new sole.

Applications and Benefits

These shoes are built for racing cyclists who want to optimize every watt on road bike tours, Alpine passes, and in competitive racing. The combination of a very stiff sole and form-fitting upper delivers noticeable propulsion without neglecting comfort over long distances. Thanks to the aerodynamic design and clean lace storage, you'll particularly benefit at high speeds and in time trial or marathon applications. The white color variant scores visually on road and track but requires slightly more care – DMT recommends cleaning with mild soapy water or a damp cloth. The POGI'S Superlight are available in white as well as a Black/Grey variant and in a wide size range with half sizes, making fit selection easier.

Practical Tips for Fit and Care

The lacing system enables very even pressure distribution but requires a bit more time when putting on and taking off; ideally plan the adjustment before your start. In independent tests, the fit was described as comfortable, while the white Knit surface requires regular, gentle care as dirt remains visible. Use mild care products and a soft cloth for cleaning and avoid aggressive chemicals to preserve structure and color. Many cyclists appreciate the secure heel guidance after a short break-in period; a shoe horn can make putting them on even easier. Note that fine micro-adjustments via dial closure aren't possible on the go, which should be considered depending on your usage preferences.
