My name is Tommy Isernia and I am the Founder of Sole Secure. My journey with this product started in May of 2022, as a recent college graduate weighing the options of taking the traditional path of working a 9-5 or taking the biggest risk of my life and going all in on this business. Thankfully, I chose to pursue developing and building this product and business from scratch. I came up with the idea as a former college baseball player for Farmingdale State College who thought it was a massive headache to constantly have to take my cleats off any time I wanted to gain access into our athletic facility, and having to repeat the process of putting the cleats back on when I was heading back to the field. Over time, not only was it a pain to have to take the cleats on and off repeatedly, but the cleats would wear down the more I walked on non-playing surfaces like concrete pavement. 

So I decided to take action, initially designing our product after slip-on covers for people who work on ice. From there, I took several trips to Home Depot and designed our first ever “prototype” out of Flex Seal and Home Depot flooring. It wasn’t the best design, but we finally had the basis of the product that you see today. From there, fully self-funded, I hired several talented freelancers and engineers from all walks of life to help design the product into what you see today. This journey took more time, patience, ups-and-downs and effort than I ever could have imagined but after countless iterations, Sole Secure was born. Affordable, easy to put on, lightweight, durable enough to last a full sports season, fully customizable, and fit a wide range of sizes. 

Whether you're a parent looking to protect your floors and car interiors, a school or sports organization aiming to preserve expensive facilities, or an athlete trying to extend the life of your cleats—you’re exactly who we made this for. Sole Secure is more than a product; it’s peace of mind, built by an athlete who lived the problem and created the solution.
