While some socks are offered in generic small, medium and large sizes, others forego sizing systems altogether with one-size-fits-all designs—KANE 11 is a direct-to-consumer socks brand that's helping people to find their exact fit with seven individual sizes. The brand previously introduced men's socks in sizes seven through 17 and is now disrupting the sock industry with its Women's Perfect Fit Socks in sizes six through 12.
The new Women's Perfect Fit Socks are available in styles that reach the ankle, quarter heights and a version of the popular no-show Laylos socks that were introduced for men. Now, those who know they are a size eight in footwear can experience more comfort with socks of the exact same size to match.
