IAAN Gravel or an MTB shoe like the KM30?

It depends on the terrain. BIKE magazine places the IAAN between a road shoe and an MTB shoe: made for tarmac, firm gravel and easy off-road, with a softer rubber than DMT’s road shoes and lugs designed to grip when you push the bike. For regular technical trails, roots or long hike-a-bike, BIKE suggests an MTB shoe with a coarser tread — DMT’s KM30, MH10 or KM0 Evo, which also have carbon soles. DMT doesn’t publish the IAAN’s sole material or weight.

Is the IAAN knit like other DMT shoes?

No. Most DMT shoes we sell have a knit upper, but the IAAN uses a new upper that TOUR describes as a transparent hexagonal mesh combining PA and TPU, for structure without extra weight. Its Dimple Tech texture is inspired by golf-ball dimples; DMT says it helps reduce air resistance while adding breathability and stability. It closes with one asymmetric BOA Li2 dial and has a reinforced toe box for gravel knocks.

How does DMT sizing work — is it the same on every model?

Not exactly. DMT publishes a separate chart for each model, with a length in centimetres per EU size, and the lengths differ: EU 42 is 26.6 cm on the Pogi’s Superlight, 26.8 cm on the KR0 Evo Superlight, KR1 and KM0 Evo, 27.04 cm on the SH10, MH10 and KM30, and 26.5 cm on the IAAN Gravel. Measure your foot heel to longest toe and use the size guide on this page, which is the chart for this model. Some models come in half sizes; the size selector shows exactly which we carry.

Dimple Tech

A hexagonal, golf-ball-inspired texture on the upper. DMT says the micro-structured surface helps reduce air resistance while adding breathability, stability and lightness, and it gives the shoe its look.

IAAN upper

A new upper that DMT says feels light immediately, breathes well and keeps the foot stable. TOUR describes it as a transparent hexagonal mesh combining PA and TPU for structure without extra weight.

Reinforced toe box

A reinforced toe box protects against the knocks you meet on gravel. DMT says it improves durability and confidence on technical sections.

BOA Li2, asymmetric

A single BOA Li2 dial in an asymmetric layout. BIKE magazine notes it spreads pressure across the instep and allows quick adjustment while riding, useful when feet swell on long gravel days.

Gravel-specific outsole

A new DMT outsole designed for gravel, with redesigned lugs and a new compound that DMT says improve grip when walking and on technical sections. BIKE magazine adds that the rubber is softer than on DMT’s road shoes.

How to measure

Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe and measure the distance in centimetres. Measure both feet and go by the longer one.

Description

DMT’s new gravel shoe for mixed rides — tarmac, firm gravel and easy off-road — rather than technical trails. It swaps DMT’s usual knit for a light PA/TPU mesh with the golf-ball-inspired Dimple Tech texture, adds a reinforced toe box and a gravel outsole with softer rubber lugs, and closes with one asymmetric BOA Li2 dial. If you ride roots and long hike-a-bike sections, BIKE magazine points to a coarser-tread MTB shoe such as the KM30.
