Fantasmino (No Show Socks)
Comfort invisibile per tutti i giorni.
Queste calze spariscono nella scarpa, ma si fanno sentire nel comfort. Sono l’ideale per:
- Giornate in città o al lavoro
- Passeggiate leggere
- Allenamenti in palestra
👉 Se vuoi beneficiare del comfort delle 5 dita, senza cercare prestazioni da gara, questa è la tua scelta quotidiana.
Sopra al malleolo (1/4 Crew)
Protezione smart per chi si muove.
Una via di mezzo perfetta: la calza arriva appena sopra il malleolo per evitare che polvere, sassolini o detriti entrino durante l’attività.
Perfette per:
- Corsa su strada
- Trail running
- Allenamenti intensi
- Cammini lunghi con scarpe basse
👉 Se sei sempre in movimento e vuoi prestazione e protezione, questa altezza è l’equilibrio giusto.
Alte
Massima protezione, massime prestazioni.
Sono le nostre calze “da battaglia”. Alte, resistenti e pronte a tutto. Pensate per:
- Trekking lunghi e tecnici con scarponi
- Ultra maratone su strada o in montagna
- Terreni difficili e condizioni impegnative
👉 Quando vuoi performance vere, affidabilità e protezione fino al polpaccio.
Compressive
Energia e sollievo che durano a lungo.
Le nostre calze a 5 dita compressive sono pensate per chi affronta davvero le distanze infinite. Oltre al supporto della compressione graduata, integrano uno strato ammortizzante sotto la pianta del piede che riduce l’impatto e dona sollievo anche dopo molte ore di utilizzo.
Perfette per:
- Trekking estremi con scarponi rigidi
- Ultra maratone su strada e in montagna
- Attività di lunghissima durata e dislivelli importanti
👉 Se cerchi il massimo supporto e vuoi arrivare più lontano con meno fatica, queste sono le calze che ti accompagnano fino all’ultimo passo.
Al ginocchio
Supporto totale dalla punta al ginocchio.
Le nostre calze alte a 5 dita con compressione graduata sono pensate per chi cerca stabilità, leggerezza e una circolazione più efficiente durante tutto il giorno. I 25 mmHg alla caviglia, che diminuiscono gradualmente verso il polpaccio, sostengono il “secondo cuore” della gamba e riducono gonfiore, affaticamento e pesantezza.
Il design al ginocchio avvolge completamente il polpaccio, offrendo un sostegno costante anche nelle giornate più impegnative.
Perfette per:
- Camminate e trekking prolungati
- Lavoro in piedi per molte ore
- Attività sportive di media e lunga durata
- Prevenire gonfiore e affaticamento quotidiano
👉 Se cerchi una calza alta che unisca comfort, stabilità e circolazione migliore, questo modello è pensato per accompagnarti ogni giorno, senza compromessi.
Ogni calza Ortles Run nasce per offrirti comfort, funzionalità e libertà di movimento. A te la scelta dell’altezza, al resto pensiamo noi.

Sono estive o invernali?
Sono estive o invernali?
Le calze Ortles Run sono progettate per essere 4 stagioni, con un focus particolare su primavera, estate e autunno. Ciò significa che:
- offrono traspirabilità e gestione dell’umidità ideali per temperature da miti a calde, garantendo comfort anche in escursioni lunghe o attività sportive.
- non sono calze tecniche da freddo estremo, ma possono comunque essere utilizzate in condizioni invernali in base all’intensità dell’attività e alla tua tolleranza al freddo. I nostri camminatori e atleti le hanno sperimentate con neve profonda fino a 40 cm senza problematiche particolari.
Consiglio pratico:
- Se prevedi soste prolungate a bassa temperatura o soffri particolarmente il freddo ai piedi, abbinale a un paio di calze termiche più pesanti.
- Per attività dinamiche o trekking veloci anche nella neve, le Ortles Run garantiscono performance eccellenti, mantenendo piedi asciutti e protetti.
In sintesi, le calze Ortles Run sono un’ottima via di mezzo: versatili tutto l’anno, perfette per le mezze stagioni e adeguate anche ai climi più rigidi se abbinate correttamente all’abbigliamento.

Face any challenge without worrying about your socks.
Do you suffer from blisters, cramped toes, or forefoot pain during exercise?
Our technical five-toe socks eliminate friction between your toes and restore your foot's natural spread, helping you run and walk pain-free with improved stability.
Why do my feet hurt after just a few miles?
Every workout should be a challenge for your muscles, not torture for your feet. Yet, many runners and hikers accept blisters and aches as "part of the game."
This happens because traditional socks act like a "straightjacket" for your toes.
Let's be clear...
When you squeeze your foot into a tight tube-style sock, your toes are compressed against each other. During running or trekking, this unnatural compression causes skin-on-skin rubbing (blisters), poor ventilation, and reduced stability.
Ortles Proto 1 Toe Socks break this pattern, allowing each toe to move freely, exactly as nature intended.
The Science of the "Barefoot Feeling" – How It Works
The human foot is designed to widen upon impact to disperse shock. When your toe spread is restricted, you lose your natural shock absorber.
When your foot landing is compromised, your knees, hips, and back pay the price.
Without Toe Separation:
• Friction between toes generates heat and painful blisters
• Moisture gets trapped between toes, promoting fungus and maceration
• The big toe is pushed inward, worsening Bunions and reducing push-off power
With Ortles Proto 1 Five-Toe Socks:
• Zero Friction Guarantee: Each toe is individually wrapped. No skin-on-skin contact = no blisters.
• Targeted Relief: Our customers report a noticeable decrease in pain related to Bunions and Morton’s Neuroma due to increased forefoot space.
• Thermoregulation: The technical fabric wraps each toe, wicking away sweat instantly.
• Superior Stability: Wider toe splay means a more solid base for squats, hiking, and running.
The Secret is the Proto 1 Anatomical Design
- ✅ Natural Toe Alignment
Eliminates toe overlap and reduces lateral pressure, providing immediate relief for those suffering from bunions and Morton's neuroma. - ✅ Plantar Arch Support Band
The technical knit (visible in the striped design) wraps the arch, preventing cramps and fatigue in the plantar fascia. - ✅ Increased Proprioception
Free toes "feel" the ground, improving balance and responsiveness on technical trails and uneven terrain.
Why Proto 1 are Superior for Active Sports
Common but Incomplete Solutions:
❌ Patches and Taping
They peel off with sweat, are expensive long-term, and don't solve the root cause of friction.
❌ Wide Toe Box Shoes with Normal Socks
A classic mistake. You buy wide shoes for comfort, but then wear tight socks that negate all the extra space.
❌ Anti-Chafe Creams
They grease up the sock and shoe, reducing grip and foot sensitivity (proprioception).
❌ Standard Cotton Socks
They retain sweat like a sponge. The result? Wet, heavy feet and fragile skin prone to cuts.
The Ortles Proto 1 work in synergy with your foot's biomechanics.
They are designed for high-impact sports like Trekking, Running, and Crossfit, where stability and foot health are essential.
Comfort That Never Leaves You
Many worry that toe socks are difficult to put on or uncomfortable. The Proto 1 have been developed (V2) to be intuitive and compatible with your favorite shoes.
- Zero Blisters Guaranteed: Physical separation prevents all rubbing.
- Universal Fit: Perfect in running shoes, hiking boots, and gym shoes (no special footwear required!).
- Arch Support: Elastic band keeps the sock secure without constriction.
- Technical Yarn: High breathability to keep your feet dry even after hours of activity.
DESIGNED FOR TRAIL RUNNING: PERFECT FOR EVERY SPORT
We created the socks with trail running in mind, but we've used them on all terrains:
- Long walks
- Road Race
- Trekking
- Gym
- Watching TV on the couch 🙂
You can then enjoy the comfort of five fingers whatever you want to do.
Preventing blisters while running, especially when we are involved in races or training sessions lasting several hours, is essential to maintain the health of our feet and to continue enjoying running.
That's why we offer five-toe socks, which are the perfect choice for anyone who wants to run with comfort and peace of mind, avoiding blisters and chafing between the toes.
