No more skin on skin
Each toe is isolated in its own chamber. The blister's starting point disappears — it isn't softened.

Full description
The everyday sock, and the one for runs over 15 miles. Five independent chambers, arch compression, a wicking knit across the top of the foot.
Construction
- Five chambers knitted to real measurements — no more skin-on-skin contact between your toes
- Arch compression band, knitted continuously, with no stitched-on seam
- Open mesh on top, dense knit under the footbed and at the heel
- Anatomical Y-heel — no rotation inside the shoe
Care
Wash at 30 °C / 86 °F, air dry. No fabric softener: it clogs the wicking channels.
The first three runs
It feels strange at first. Run 1, you feel the walls. Run 3, you stop noticing them — and that's when you notice there are no blisters. Allow an extra 15 seconds to put them on.
Composition and care
Wash at 30 °C / 86 °F, air dry. No fabric softener: it leaves a film on the fibres that blocks moisture transfer.
Detailed composition: available on request.

PENTA 01 — Ankle COOLMAX®Blue / 34-38
01Why it works
Three problems,
one construction.
Moisture leaves instead of pooling
Open mesh over the top of the foot, dense knit underneath. The yarn moves water to the outside of the fabric, where it evaporates.
A seamless arch band
Knitted into the sock, not stitched on. No ridge, so no added friction point.

03The transition
Your first three runs.
A toe sock can't be judged on the first outing. Here's exactly what to expect, in order.
It feels strange
Fifteen extra seconds to put them on, toe by toe. You feel the walls for the whole run. We'd rather tell you upfront than let you think something is wrong.
You forget them
The sensation fades into the background. Your foot has taken in the spread, your stride doesn't change. This is where most people stop thinking about it.
Nothing happened
You take your shoes off and look for the usual hot spot. It isn't there. It's a quiet benefit: you only notice a blister when it's there.

Runs to judge
Run 1, you feel the walls between your toes. Run 2, you forget them. Run 3, what you notice is what didn't happen: no blister. If after three runs it doesn't add up, write to us.
