About Wright Foot

Wright Foot is a sock company that strives to add spice to sock drawers. Ranging from “pizza and beards” to “eggs-ercise,” the sock options are endless. Allowing people to express themselves through socks is important to Joe. Joe explains that he wants to spread smiles with his quirky socks.

 

“I am all about silly puns and jokes. Something that will brighten someone’s day. The mission is just to spread positivity the best I can.”

 

As Joe reflects on the highs and lows that Wright Foot has experienced, he shares, “My highest is when I went viral on TikTok and got over 7 million views on one video.” He also explains that another high is the fact that he can do what he loves full-time.
