Salewa Ortles Dolomites Merino Men's Long Socks

DESCRIPTION

The Dolomites in winter put every detail of your equipment to the test, including what goes unnoticed inside your boot. The Salewa Ortles Dolomites Merino sock was created to meet the demands of high-altitude winter mountaineering, where foot thermal management is as crucial as that of the rest of the body.

Construction and materials

The merino wool composition ensures natural thermoregulation: it keeps the foot warm during cold breaks and wicks away moisture during exertion, reducing the risk of skin maceration. Merino fiber is inherently odor-resistant, a significant feature for multi-day trips to mountain huts. The cushioned terry footbed distributes pressure on load-bearing areas, protecting the heel and forefoot during long descents on mixed terrain.

Technical details designed for boots

• Snug cuff that stays in place without slipping, preventing uncomfortable creases inside a rigid mountaineering boot
• Anatomical structure with reinforcements in areas of most frequent friction
• Merino wool softness that reduces pressure points responsible for blisters on long ascents
• Sock height suitable for covering the ankle with high-cut glacier or winter ridge boots

A practical choice for those who frequent the Dolomites or the Alps in winter and are looking for a sock that works in synergy with technical boots, without sacrificing comfort during approach hours in the valley floor.
