Just ahead of Tadej's second Tour de France victory, DMT released their newest road cycling shoe - the Tadej Pogacar KR1 TDF version in - what else - TDF yellow.  But there's more to this shoe than just a signature & fancy color to enhance the already very nice KR1 line - like traditional laces, a super-stealth profile, and killer comfort from the one-piece knit upper.  Let's step in to my review...
