Proper care and maintenance of your DMT shoes
make the difference
Our shoes are designed and built to be worn by the world's strongest cyclists.
It’s normal for them to get marked up during heavy use, but proper cleaning will preserve the performance and appearance of your DMTs over time.
POGI'S
DOs:
• Remove the arch support before washing.
• Dampen the stained surface with a microfibre cloth and cold water.
• Gently wipe the stain with the damp cloth, adding a small amount of mild soap if necessary.
• Rinse the area with the microfibre cloth to remove soap and dirt.
• To maintain the shape, we recommend filling the inside of the shoe with paper without ink.
• We recommend removing the laces, which should be washed by hand, separately, in a mild soap and water solution.
DON’Ts:
• Don’t immerse the shoe in water and don’t leave it to soak.
• Don’t dry the shoe with sources of heat like a hair dryer, stove or direct sunlight.
• Don’t use printed or coloured paper, so as to avoid colour transfer between surfaces.
• Don’t use solvents, thinners or aggressive chemicals.
• Don’t machine wash as this may damage the shoe.
