Soft, technical merino footlets for alpine tours with low shoes

Alpinist low socks are the perfect companions for summer in the mountains. Why? Simple: fine Merino wool reduces unpleasant foot odors, while synthetic fibers extend durability. And the Alpinist low will also impress with its fit: these low-cut socks are particularly ideal for hot temperatures and are comfortable to wear in lightweight approach shoes or climbing boots.

• Thanks to the ergonomically optimized right / left socks and the pleasant comfort cuff, it will fit perfectly without slipping. Ankle and arch supports also prevent creasing and keeps the socks where they belong. There is additional padding in the heel and toe area for good cushioning. Greater breathability is ensured by the 360-degree webbing system that runs around the foot area, as well as the cushioning system at sensitive points.

This makes the ALPINIST the ideal companion for your feet, whether in the valley or on demanding tours.
