What we would like to introduce to you today is the high-sock model of the extremely popular " Ultimate ASO ."
The technology used in medical compression stockings is applied to gradually apply pressure to the calf muscles to support them . The idea for the calf support came from watching athletes wear calf supports in addition to their socks during trail running races.
[Recommended for]
- Those who participate in strenuous exercise such as trail running or full marathons
- Those who want to break records in trail running or marathons
- Those who are concerned about blisters caused by their feet slipping inside their shoes
- Those who want calf support
- Looking for socks to protect you from the cold in winter?
Now, let me introduce you to "Ultimate ASO Long".
The dual role of socks and calf supporters
Unlike the Ultimate ASO, this model has graduated compression from the knee down to the toes. It is like a sock with a calf support attached , and it has the defensive performance to bear the fatigue of the feet while allowing you to run aggressively, which is a feature of the ULTIMATE series.
In addition, this product's graduated compression function utilizes the same technology used in medical compression stockings , and is characterized by the fact that it applies compression based on calculations made through various tests.
Super grip that holds your shoes in place like glue
Like the Ultimate ASO, the sole of the shoe uses a grip called "Nanofront." Nanofront is a nanofiber developed by Teijin Frontier of Japan for the first time in the world, and it provides an ultra-grip that has never been achieved with other fibers .
This super grip allows your feet, socks, and shoes to become one . Even in the harsh conditions of trail running or full marathons, your shoes will stay in place and you will feel as if you are running barefoot.
However, the downside of this super grip is that the grip is too strong, making the shoes difficult to put on . The development team was undecided, but decided to go with the super grippy type, as they wanted to create the best socks for athletes aiming for records.
The durability is approximately 13 times that of conventional socks!
These socks are designed to push you to your limits, so we paid particular attention to their durability to withstand intense testing.
The base material of the Ultimate ASO is CORDURA® fabric, a material used by military forces around the world , and is recognized worldwide for its durability, versatility, and reliability.
In fact, OLENO conducted durability tests to check the strength of the socks, and found that they were approximately 13 times more resistant to abrasion than conventional nylon socks.
Sorry for the rough image,
You can also see the durability test in the video .
It is extremely resistant to wear, tearing, and abrasion, and provides excellent durability and sustainability even in harsh situations such as trail running, trekking, and marathons.
Highly durable yet lightweight and thin
One of the attractions of these socks is that they are so light and thin that you will almost forget you are wearing them .
The durability is provided by the CORDURA® fabric, which allows us to make the sock fabric as thin as possible , so you barely feel like you're wearing socks, and combined with the super grip, it feels even closer to the sensation of wearing shoes barefoot .
Arch support and heel hold function reduce strain on the feet
In addition, the arch support function distributes the impact force on the foot evenly across the entire sole , allowing for a stable and comfortable run .
In addition, the shoes are equipped with a heel hold function to prevent the heel from slipping off or the shoes from coming off during vigorous exercise. It minimizes friction between the shoes and the heel, preventing blisters and shoes from coming off while running. In addition, you can expect the effect of further mitigating the burden on your feet, such as shock absorption .
This concludes our introduction to Ultimate ASO Long.
In addition to the inherent grip strength of Ultimate ASO that allows it to firmly grip the ground, durability that is approximately 13 times that of conventional socks, and lightness and thinness that allows you to wear them barefoot, the graduated compression function also helps reduce fatigue in the feet.
For athletes who are constantly striving to break records in trail running and marathons , we believe these socks are the perfect high-performance option, so be sure to give them a try.
Of course, this is also recommended for those who are not athletes but enjoy trail running, trekking, or marathons as a hobby. Let's all keep aiming for new records.
