What is Coolmax fabric?

It is an advanced technical yarn, created specifically for those who play sports. Unlike traditional fabrics that get soaked by retaining moisture, Coolmax has a special 'channeled' structure. In practice, it works like a micro-pump: it draws sweat away from the skin and transports it immediately to the outside, where it evaporates in an instant. This is the technological secret that protects you from the formation of blisters, keeping your foot dry and at the right temperature at all times.

What does COMPRESSIVE mean?

It means "zero distractions" during your outings!

As it is an ankle-length sports sock, we have designed a targeted and gentle level of compression. Its purpose is not to constrict, but to securely anchor the sock to your foot and ankle. This way, even after many hours of walking, running, or trekking, the sock will stay exactly where you put it, saving you the annoyance of having to stop to pull it up.

How do I choose the size?

Rely on the selectors on the product page (example: Size S - EU 36-40).

If your shoe size is close to the next size up, order the correct size.

Example: if you wear a 40, order "Size S - EU 36-40"

What material are they made of?

The Dry Max model is made with a technical blend designed to balance breathability, durability, and a perfect fit:

70% Coolmax®: The heart of the sock, essential for wicking away sweat and preventing blisters.
25% Nylon: An ultra-resistant fiber that reinforces the structure in areas of high friction, essential for making the sock last a long time even on dirt roads and challenging trails.
5% Spandex: Provides the necessary elasticity for the sock to fit like a second skin, supporting the arch and preventing the fabric from slipping inside the shoe.

Are they summer or winter ones?

Ortles Run socks are designed for four seasons, with a particular focus on spring, summer, and autumn. This means that:

they offer ideal breathability and moisture management for mild to warm temperatures, ensuring comfort even on long hikes or during sports activities.
they are not technical socks for extreme cold, but they can still be used in winter conditions depending on the intensity of the activity and your tolerance to cold. Our hikers and athletes have tested them in deep snow up to 40 cm without any particular problems.

Practical advice:

If you anticipate prolonged stops at low temperatures or particularly suffer from cold feet, combine them with a pair of heavier thermal socks.
For dynamic activities or fast trekking even in the snow, Ortles Run socks guarantee excellent performance, keeping feet dry and protected.

In summary, Ortles Run socks are an excellent middle ground: versatile all year round, perfect for mid-seasons, and also suitable for harsher climates if combined correctly with appropriate clothing.

Who are they for?

Dry Max are perfect for you if you love an active lifestyle and spend many hours on the move.

We designed them with trekking, trail running, long-distance hiking enthusiasts in mind, or for those who simply love taking brisk, challenging walks. If your goal is to clock up the miles without ever having to worry about annoying blisters, sweat, or aching feet at the end of the day, these socks will become an essential piece of your gear.

How long do they last?

We tested the socks for over 200 hours of outings on challenging terrains and trails.

Their exceptional durability was demonstrated by their ability to withstand the most extreme conditions without damage.

Reliable and long-lasting, these socks were designed to offer lasting comfort and protection, making them the ideal choice for adventurers seeking the most from their gear.

Tackle any challenge without worrying about your socks.

Difference between the various socks

Ortles Run 5-toe socks are designed to adapt perfectly to your lifestyle and your activities. Whether you are walking in the city, running on mountain trails, or tackling an ultramarathon, there is a height just for you.

No-Show Socks

Invisible comfort for every day.

These socks disappear into your shoe, but you’ll definitely feel the comfort. They are ideal for:

Days in the city or at work
Light walks
Gym workouts

👉 If you want to benefit from the comfort of 5 toes without looking for race-level performance, this is your daily choice.

1/4 Crew (Above the Ankle)

Smart protection for those on the move.

A perfect middle ground: the sock comes up just above the ankle to keep dust, small stones, or debris from getting in during activity.
Perfect for:

Road running
Trail running
Intense workouts
Long walks with low-cut shoes

👉 If you are always on the move and want performance and protection, this height is the right balance.

High

Maximum protection, maximum performance.

These are our “workhorse” socks. High, durable, and ready for anything. Designed for:

Long, technical treks with hiking boots
Ultramarathons on road or mountain trails
Difficult terrain and challenging conditions

👉 When you want real performance, reliability, and protection up to the calf.

Compression

Energy and relief that lasts.

Our 5-toe compression socks are designed for those who really tackle infinite distances. Beyond the support of graduated compression, they include a cushioning layer under the sole of the foot that reduces impact and provides relief even after many hours of use.

Perfect for:

Extreme trekking with rigid boots
Ultramarathons on road and mountain trails
Ultra-long duration activities and significant elevation gains

👉 If you are looking for maximum support and want to go further with less fatigue, these are the socks that will accompany you to the very last step.

Knee-High

Total support from toe to knee.

Our high 5-toe socks with graduated compression fully wrap the calf, supporting circulation to reduce swelling, fatigue, and heaviness. To better meet the different needs of climate and physical exertion, we have developed two dedicated versions:

1. Flow+ (4-Season Fabric)

Balanced compression (15-20 mmHg) & All-year-round versatility.

The benchmark model for those seeking constant but extremely comfortable support, ideal to wear for many hours without a feeling of constriction.

Compression: 15-20 mmHg (medium graduated), balanced to stimulate daily circulation and relieve leg fatigue.
Fabric: 4-season structure, soft and modular, perfect for any time of year.
Perfect for: Prolonged standing at work, walking, long flights/car trips, and continuous daily use.

2. Air Flow (Super-Light Fabric)

Intense compression (25-30 mmHg) & Extreme breathability for hot weather.

Designed for the most challenging conditions, this version combines higher compression push with an ultra-lightweight fabric structure.

Compression: 25-30 mmHg (strong graduated), intended for those who need maximum vascular and muscular support during exertion.
Fabric: Super light and highly breathable, designed to dissipate heat quickly and prevent sweat buildup.
Perfect for: High-intensity sports, running and trekking in summer months, or for those who suffer from significant swelling and need firm support.

💡 Which one to choose?

👉 Choose Flow+ if you want a versatile 4-season sock with medium compression (15-20 mmHg) for every day.
👉 Choose Air Flow if you are looking for more vigorous compression (25-30 mmHg) and an ultra-cool fabric designed for heat and intense activity.

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.

Perfect for:

Pilates, yoga, and gym workouts
Daily indoor use on hardwood or tile floors
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.

Here you will find the chart with all the specifications for our socks.

Dry Max: Extreme Performance, Always Dry Feet.

Designed to never let you stop. Whether you're tackling a road race, technical trail running, a demanding trek, or a multi-day hike, the Dry Max model is your new ally to overcome every limit.

The perfect union of our 5-toe technology and the absolute performance of Coolmax fabric.

The Secret to Performance: Coolmax® Technology

If you suffer from excessive sweating or fear blisters caused by moisture on long routes, Coolmax is the ultimate solution. But what exactly is it?

Unlike ordinary fibers, Coolmax is a technical yarn with special grooved fibers. It functions like an integrated ventilation system: it instantly wicks sweat away from the skin and pushes it outward, making it evaporate in record time. The result? An unbeatable "Dry" and "Cool" sensation, even on the hottest days or during the most intense efforts.

Functional Mapping: A design that "works" for you

The Dry Max isn't just nice to look at. Each color and line has a precise technical purpose to support your foot step by step:

✅ Arch Support: The elastic band specifically wraps around the instep. This targeted compression offers vital support for those suffering from plantar fasciitis or tired feet after many kilometers.
✅ Honeycomb Weave (Maximum Breathability): Strategically placed on the top, this special weave allows the foot to "breathe," expelling excess heat exactly where it's needed most.

Technical style, everyday versatility

We have designed a dynamic and intelligent aesthetic, conceived for a demanding and mature audience seeking practicality and style:

Anthracite Mélange Grey: We abandoned plain black for a technical grey that not only visually slims the foot but is excellent at masking trail dust and light dirt.
Outdoor Energy: Electric Blue inserts evoke freshness and sweat management, while Rusty Orange brings that dynamic energy typical of trekking and mountain environments. The vertical and oblique lines accompany movement, making the ankle appear sleeker.
