Meet the Prisma: DMT's Hottest Road Shoe

Janelle's Prismas were road-tested
at Tour of America's Dairyland.
A combined 13 seasons of racing in the pro women's peleton have found our feet with nearly as many different shoe sponsors from season to season.  With that said, the DMT Prisma's are more than just a cut above with a serious WOW-factor from the box all the way to the foot!  


We LOVE:

  • Low-Profile:  These shoes are a incredibly sleek in both design and aesthetic.
  • The Bling:  A completely appropriate use of patent leather.  A style that only an Italian shoe company can truly champion.
  • The Ratchet:  Completely unique and very simple to use.  No grabs or pulls - just snug!
  • The Half-Size:  Get your fit completely perfect with half-sizes.

Swiftwick - Keeping Us on Our Toes

We balance many things at KitOrder.com.  We're on our toes all day - literally, from training to our race schedules to appointments in and out of the office and beyond.  Don't even get us started on trade shows.  We race in the Pro field, but let's be honest, we'll take some help if we can get it - as sometimes, training isn't prioritized as much as it should be!

Meet Swiftwick: A small Tennessee-based company with products developed by athletes to bridge the gap between a "typical day" and "game time" for those of us who like to work hard and play harder.  Specifically, they have an incredible product called the TWELVE PODIUM - making you feel like a winner even from your favorite desk chair.

The TWELVE'S are awesome because of their "managed compression."  By compressing the surface veins, arteries and muscles of the lower legs/feet, the circulating blood is forced through narrower channels. This causes the arterial pressure to increase, channeling more blood to the heart and creating less pooling in the feet--aiding recovery after workouts and keeping the spring in our step.  Trust us, these aren't your Grandma's compression socks. 

Thank you, Swiftwick, for a truly awesome American-made product--supporting active individuals, KitOrder.com, and cyclists all over the country.
