Sofia Overton starter her company, Wise Pocket Products, at 11 years old because
she wanted to make life easier for active kids and better for kids in need. One day, she saw her older cousin put her phone in her boot because she did not have any pockets in the leggings she was wearing. It was SO uncomfortable because it kept slipping down to my ankle. This gave her the idea for her first product, socks with a wise pocket! She created her first prototype by adding a wisely placed inside pocket at the top of the sock, and it worked great! But, she doesn’t plan on stopping there and she is currently developing leggings with a wise pocket too!
There are lots of active kids like Sofia that need a safe and stylish way to not only store their phones but other important items like epi-pens or inhalers! There are also so many kids across the country that are in need, with 627 kids considered homeless in her local school district alone! This is why her products give the buyers a chance to change the world one pair of socks at a time with us! So, they give a new pair of socks to a kid in need for every pair of socks sold! Wise Pocket Products believes that if you make sure a child has warm feet they will always have a warm heart knowing that their community cares for them.
This is such a novel idea, I cant really relate to the problem of not having pockets because men’s clothing doesn’t have this problem. That is a really interesting idea and a smart business. The way that she plans to expand is very smart too because I’d rather have pockets in my pants than in my socks.
I agree with Logan above, I cannot relate to not having pockets but I can see how annoying it would be without them. This product is amazing and could change the world.
