UDOG, the progressive Italian cycling shoe brand, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation: SEMPRE. Representing the brand’s much-anticipated entry into the dial-closure market, SEMPRE is a performance-driven road cycling shoe designed with UDOG’s signature style, comfort, and precision.
Developed under the leadership of industry expert Alberto Fonte, SEMPRE has already made its debut in prototype form at several international trade shows—drawing attention for its sleek aesthetics and advanced closure system.
At the heart of SEMPRE is the all-new Twist Tech system, UDOG’s proprietary micro-adjusting dial mechanism. This simplified closure offers a precise, uniform fit for enhanced stability and all-day comfort. The ergonomic dial, surrounded by a soft rubber edge, ensures optimal grip in any riding condition. Paired with ultra-resistant, woven laces—the thickest and most durable low-power lace in the rotational closure segment—Twist Tech sets a new benchmark for control and reliability.
UDOG has drawn on Fonte’s extensive expertise in performance footwear to engineer a high-quality road shoe that meets the most exacting design and manufacturing standards.
Engineered Fit with Patented Systems
SEMPRE features a single Twist Tech dial that controls forefoot volume through UDOG’s patented TWS 2.0 (Tension Wrap System). This design applies even pressure across integrated webbing straps, eliminating hot spots and creating a consistent, supportive hold. The TWS 2.0 system wraps the upper uniformly from multiple directions, enhancing comfort while maximizing power transfer.
Performance Materials and Construction
Crafted with laser-perforated PU leather, SEMPRE’s upper combines softness with durability—ideal for daily training and long rides. The adaptive material flexes naturally where comfort is needed, while strategically placed TPU reinforcements secure the foot during high-output efforts. Additional fit refinements include a generous toe box and deep heel cup for all-day comfort. The minimalist design eliminates plastic guides and excess stitching, further reducing potential pressure points.
Advanced Outsole Design
SEMPRE’s carbon-nylon composite outsole includes a directional ventilation channel for airflow, integrated rubber heel and toe pads for grip, and a broad metatarsal platform for confident cleat engagement. Titanium alloy cleat nuts allow for 5mm of rearward adjustment, giving riders greater control over their position and efficiency.
