Veles Merino
NORTHMAN Veles Merino are sports socks for running, cycling and active days in cooler weather. Merino fibres are combined with an anatomically shaped design, a smooth toe closure and reinforcement in wear-prone areas for comfort in motion.
Veles makes sense when you want a sportier fit with more warmth than a very light summer running sock. Compare Run Merino or Run Silver for milder running conditions, or Trek Silver Merino Light for longer walks in spring through autumn.

During sports in the cold, a sock needs to perform as your body temperature changes: warmth at the start, breathability once you are moving and the ability to handle moisture. Merino can support comfort, provided the sock also fits properly inside the shoe.
Veles uses anatomical shaping, cushioning and reinforcement in demanding zones. Correct size is essential: a bunched toe or a slipping heel can cause rubbing during repeated running strides or pedal strokes.
Running and cycling on cool days – Veles offers merino and a shaped sports fit.
Lighter running conditions – compare Run Merino Pro Mid.
Silver-containing technical fibres – Run Silver offers a different yarn blend.
Active hikes outside winter – Trek Silver Merino Light is focused on walking.
For lighter running sessions compare Run Merino. For a sports design featuring silver-containing performance yarn, look at Run Silver. For longer hikes explore Trek Silver Merino Light.
For cycling, consider the height and profile of your cycling shoes: an overly thick sock may create unwanted pressure. Trail running may call for greater foot protection than a short, easy road run.
After training, air, dry and wash the socks according to the label. Even merino should not remain damp inside a closed sports bag.
