1. What is Merino Wool? Why is it Recommended for Summer?
Some people may have the image that wool is hot or itchy.
However, merino wool is made up of much finer and softer fibers than regular wool , making it extremely smooth to the touch . Its breathability and moisture-regulating properties are also the reasons why it has long been a favorite among athletes and mountaineers.
▼Reasons why it's recommended for summer
High moisture absorption and release
Wool is a material with high moisture absorption and release properties. The fibers quickly absorb moisture and release it into the air , properly regulating the humidity inside clothing. Even when you sweat during the rainy season or humid summer months , wool won't get stuffy, and your skin will always feel dry and comfortable .
Natural air conditioning
The fabric has a structure that traps air inside, which acts as a natural insulator . It traps body heat to keep you warm in the winter and releases excess heat to keep you cool in the summer, making it a material that is truly known as a "natural air conditioner."
▼Reasons why it's recommended in winter too
Heat retention made possible by the special shape
Each wool fiber is curled , and air gets trapped between the curled fibers, creating a layer of air that acts as an insulator and keeps your feet warm .
Prevents performance decline due to cold sweat
Merino wool can store up to 30-35% of its own weight in moisture. Even when you sweat, the moisture is absorbed into the fibers, so sweat does not remain on the surface of your skin, making it less likely to feel wet .
Furthermore, it has the ability to gradually release moisture stored inside the fibers, and unlike quick-drying materials, it does not "dry all at once," but rather "gently adjusts to temperature changes while keeping the skin dry at all times ."
In this way, merino wool is an "all-season material" that can be used in both summer and winter.
2. Comod(y) Pecora: A shoe born from the voices of runners
Merino wool is a highly functional natural material that has many appealing features, such as moisture absorption, moisture release, and odor resistance, making it suitable for use all year round. However, no matter how excellent the material, if the design and finish of running socks are not comfortable, they will not be enough for runners.
The OLENO Comod(y) pecora we are introducing this time was created based on the feedback of over 100 runners.
These wool socks have been thoroughly designed with the theme of "running strongly and enjoyably," and are designed to reduce the stress on the feet that occurs when running.
✔ Attention to detail from a runner's perspective
Reinforced toe and heel for increased durability
The areas that bear the most stress when running are the toes and heels. Comod(y) Pecora strategically places abrasion-resistant reinforcement yarns in these two areas. The yarn density and positioning have been carefully adjusted to accommodate trails with many uphill and downhill sections, as well as forefoot running styles that use the tips of your toes.
The thickness of the arch has been adjusted to prevent slippage and fatigue.
If your socks slip while running, it can cause blisters and sores. Pecora's socks have just the right amount of thickness and compression in the arch area around the arch of the foot, providing a snug, clingy fit.
The shoes are neither too tight nor too loose, providing just the right amount of pressure to gently support the arch of your foot. This helps to distribute the impact of landing, making it less tiring to run for long periods of time.
The pile structure of the sole absorbs shock, providing comfort even over long periods of time.
The sole of the shoe features a pile structure made of looped yarn woven three-dimensionally, which cushions the impact from the ground when you land, reducing strain on your feet even on hard surfaces like asphalt or trails.
These socks have the performance of sports socks, but also have a design and fit that makes them comfortable for everyday wear. They are truly "socks that will accompany you throughout your active life."
3. Breathability, moisture absorption, and odor resistance ensure comfortable feet 365 days a year
The biggest appeal of Comod(y) Pecora is its comfort, which makes the most of the natural functionality of Merino wool.
✔ Breathable
The mesh construction on the instep allows moisture to escape from inside the shoe, significantly reducing the discomfort of stuffiness and sweaty feet, helping to keep you dry even in hot weather or on rainy days.
✔ Moisture absorption and release
Wool's unique moisture-management properties keep your feet cool and dry quickly, even when you sweat. This helps maintain a constant foot temperature while running, helping you maintain your performance.
✔ Deodorizing and odor prevention
The naturally derived antibacterial properties prevent the growth of bacteria and eliminate the cause of odor.Even if you wear them all day, they won't leave you feeling uncomfortable when you take them off, making them safe for when you're out and about or traveling.
4. Design that combines durability and comfort
A common complaint about functional socks is that they perform well but are not very comfortable to wear.
However, Comod(y) pecora does not compromise on this point either.
✔ Incredible durability
These socks are eight times more durable than regular running socks, making them durable enough to withstand not only daily jogging, but also mountain trails, trail running, and ultramarathons.
✔ "Just right" fit
They're neither too tight nor too loose. The compression design gently wraps around the ankles and arches, preventing swelling and preventing slippage. They're designed to be comfortable to wear from morning until night.
✔ Soft enough for everyday use
The soles are made of fluffy pile knit. They are cushioned and won't hurt your feet even if you stand for long periods of time. These versatile shoes are perfect for work, travel, and everyday outings.

▶ No chafing even over long distances, perfect for everyday use
"My feet don't chafe when I'm doing LSD or riding on mountain passes, and they're comfortable. They don't get stuffy, and they feel good to wear, so I wear them on a daily basis. I think these socks are more important to me than my shoes now (laughs)."
