[NEW] Performance Wool Low Crew Mid-Weight Tabi Socks

For mountaineers braving the cold. Maintains the comfort of carefully selected wool while enhancing heat retention.

The "Performance Wool" series was developed to deliver the best possible performance. Among these, a tabi-style socks have been released as a mid-weight model, specifically designed for climbers tackling high mountains in colder seasons. These socks combine comfort and style for a stylish and comfortable climb.

1. Comfort achieved by using carefully selected merino wool

Merino wool is the finest and softest of all wools. We carefully select merino wool for its exceptional texture (feel and feel), resulting in a soft, non-itchy feel that gently envelops your feet. Wool has a thermal conductivity that's approximately 5.5 times lower than other fibers (e.g., nylon and polyester), helping to retain heat and maintain body temperature.

The material also has excellent moisture absorption and release properties, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, making it like an "air conditioner" that can be used all year round.It also has antibacterial and deodorizing properties , ensuring lasting comfort.

②Thicker fabric for better heat retention

We believe that merino wool alone is not enough to keep you warm, so we designed the fabric to be thicker than usual . By making the fabric thicker, we significantly increase the cushioning and heat retention, allowing you to enjoy comfortable mountain climbing even when the outside temperature is low.

3. Improved cushioning and fit for walking all day .

To enhance cushioning and fit, the sole is made of a high-density knit fabric with a pile weave that conforms to the shape of your foot.The arch support also provides support for your feet even when worn for long periods of time.

*Pile weave: A type of fabric weaving method that mainly refers to fabrics with looped threads woven into the surface. The longer the pile, the more elastic and fluffy the texture becomes, making it soft to the touch. Furthermore, the pile loops trap moisture, making it highly absorbent.
*Arch support function: A function that supports the arch of the foot, and is found in shoe insoles and supports.

4. Breathable surface and toe box that fits snugly . The true value of OLENO is in the details.

The toe is tabi-style, emphasizing the independence of the big toe. By separating the big toe from the other four toes, grip strength on rocky surfaces and steep climbs is significantly improved .

Not only that, but the instep is made of mesh to prevent stuffiness and ensure comfortable wear even for long periods of time. This pair is packed with various ingenuity and innovation, thanks to over 90 years of experience in making socks.
