William Ellery Lichen Socks are on ongoing research project of technical hosiery.

Socks are made in small batches, and may only be produced once.

New versions of this sock represent the advancements made by the findings you collect.

V16 advances a clay soil colorway originally developed in v14. Using the same lightweight(2.5oz) overall content, we have shifted the terry tectonic plates to advance up the calf. This provides better padding for the heel, reducing blisters, and making any lichen showing above the cuff of the shoe fell cohesive.

The top welt has been expanded to provide better height on calf, and a more relaxed ride. The Thick welt (band at teh top of the calf) prevents a deep ring from forming on your skin, distributing the pressure over a larger surface area.
