# Shoe-Sized Socks Kenneth Cole & KANE 11's Collaborative Socks Come in Individual Sizes By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-08-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-socks References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/kenneth-cole-announces-collaboration-with-kane-11-socks-301117060.html) & [KennethCole](http://www.KennethCole.com/) When it comes to buying socks, consumers usually have to settle for a one-size-fits-all option or generic small, medium and large sizes but [KANE 11](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kane-footwear-5) sees a better way—and its [collaborative socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giftable-sock-bundles) with Kenneth Cole show how. The Ultimate Comfort System pairs Kenneth Cole’s Liam Sneaker with the Kane 11 X Kenneth Cole individually sized no-show socks, which come in sizes 7 through 13. As both brands are focused on style, comfort and innovation, the pairing of precisely matched shoes and socks helps to offer consumers an unparalleled experience with fit. The sneaker itself boasts a fully cushioned inner sole with [soft leather uppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tie-20) and the socks won't be detectable when worn with this style.
