(I am writing this as a runner.)
Hello. I am an OLENO staff member and a runner who runs on the road and in the mountains every day.
This time, let me talk a little bit about OLENO socks from a runner's perspective.
Although I am usually involved somewhat in development, this article is based solely on my own experiences as a user .
Why I think socks are "gear"
To be honest, I used to think that "as long as the shoes were good, it was OK." But the more times I ran, the longer I ran, and the more mountains I climbed, the more discomfort in my feet piled up, and I realized that I couldn't keep up mentally .
Blisters, calluses, black nails, sweating...
The reality of long races is that even the smallest discomfort under your feet directly affects your tenacity and performance in the second half.
In the midst of all this, the OLENO ULTIMATE series has been supporting my running.
Why is OLENO a “reliable tool” ?
The shoes I'm currently wearing mainly are "ULTIMATE TNG" and "ULTIMATE SHR".
Especially when out on the trail or on a long run, you want to reduce stress on your feet as much as possible , so you want to choose socks you can trust.
The following points are what make OLENO socks so reassuring:
-
It does n't get stuffy even when you're running (it doesn't get soggy).
-
Stays in place inside your shoes (also helps prevent black nails)
-
Perfect fit (conforms to the shape of your foot)
-
Less likely to break (higher durability)
Because we make them in-house, our employees, who are serious runners, test them from the prototype stage. And between you and me, we're so serious about development that we even have runners who run more than 200km a month test them.
For me, these were the only socks that made me feel like I could still go on after running 100km.
[For Runners] ULTIMATE Series
The ULTIMATE series is a model designed for top athletes who are serious about setting records, whether on the road or trail.
▶ ULTIMATE TNG (for long distance races)
Provides firm grip and durability while reducing foot sweat.
I felt safe wearing them even for 100 mile races, and the problem of peeling skin on my feet was greatly reduced, especially in the latter half of the race.
▶ ULTIMATE SHR (specialized for dry performance and foot trouble prevention)
SHR is a running sock that specializes in moisture absorption and quick drying.
It dries three times faster than conventional products, and prevents problems such as swollen feet and peeling skin during long runs or in humid environments. It is perfect for trails and long road runs in spring and summer. It is thin but has a firm support structure and a good fit.
[For the outdoor enthusiast] There are other series too
By the way, for those who mainly enjoy mountain climbing and camping, or who don't run but still like spending time in nature, OLENO also offers a mountain climbing series and a camping line .

Many models take advantage of wool's natural temperature regulating properties.
It has received positive reviews from users, with comments such as "I don't get cold even around the bonfire" and "My feet stay warm when camping in a tent."
Summary | I tried it on my own feet, so I want to tell you
Although OLENO is my own product, for me it is also a piece of gear I can rely on.
Socks may not look like much, but I think they play an unsung role in supporting your performance in outdoor activities and sports. I would be happy if as many people as possible could learn about their importance.
Come and experience the passion that OLENO puts into each pair of socks.
The next time you go for a run, the next time you climb a mountain, we hope your feet will be just a little more comfortable.
