Anti-Slip

Stability "glued" to the ground and maximum grip.
These socks integrate premium silicone grip under the sole of the foot to ensure superior traction. They offer you all the freedom of walking barefoot, encouraging the natural spreading of the toes, but with total security against slipping.

- Those seeking hygienic protection and grip in studios or communal areas
👉 If you want to improve your balance and challenge your limits indoors with a secure grip, the Pro Grip socks are your silent allies.
Merino Wool

The perfect balance between nature and technology.
The socks are made with a composition of: 50% Merino, 30% Nylon, 15% Acrylic, 5% Spandex.
We studied this specific blend to overcome the limitations of pure wool. 50% Merino Wool guarantees the natural thermoregulation and softness you are looking for, but it is the technical component that makes the difference in durability. The Nylon creates a resistant armor that prevents premature holes in the heel and toes, while the elasticity of the Acrylic and Spandex allows the sock to wrap every single toe without slipping or creating annoying folds.
Year-round protection
They are born with a closed structure without mesh to offer maximum protection from debris and cold. However, thanks to Merino’s unique ability to manage moisture, they keep the foot dry and healthy even during trekking in milder seasons. A dry foot is a protected foot, from both cold and heat.
Coolmax

Unbeatable freshness and feet that stay dry.
Our socks with Coolmax® technology are the ultimate choice for facing the hottest days and high-intensity workouts. Thanks to the special channeled structure of its technical fibers, this fabric instantly wicks sweat away from the skin, transporting it to the outer layer of the sock for ultra-fast evaporation.
Maximum breathability against heat
The combination of the 5-toe design and Coolmax fiber eliminates moisture accumulation in the spaces between the toes, drastically reducing overheating, discomfort, and the risk of blisters. A lightweight, fresh, and incredibly breathable sock, designed to let your foot breathe even when the asphalt or trails are scorching.
Perfect for:
- Road running and trail running in summer
- Intense indoor workouts and high-perspiration sessions
- Those who struggle with heat and seek constant foot ventilation
👉 If you don’t want high temperatures to slow your pace and you demand a dry, fresh, and protected foot from the first to the last kilometer, this is your summer ally.
Every Ortles Run sock is created to offer you comfort, functionality, and freedom of movement. You choose the height, we’ll take care of the rest.
