Hook

Did you know that the right micro-crampons give you better traction on ice than most full-size mountaineering crampons — yet weigh less than your phone?

Brand Intro

Nortec is the Italian specialist for running-specific micro-crampons and selected winter running gear. Founded in 2014 in the Montebelluna sports-system cluster (Treviso), every single product is still designed and manufactured in Italy with obsessive attention to performance and durability.

Inspiring Story

A small group of Dolomites trail runners got tired of slipping or staying indoors all winter. They wanted real grip without the weight and clumsiness of traditional crampons. After countless prototypes tested on the frozen paths above Treviso, the first Nortec running micro-crampon was born. Ten years on, the same passion still drives every new model – made by runners, for runners, in Italy.
