John’s Crazy Socks is social enterprise co-founded by John Lee Cronin, a young entrepreneur with Down syndrome. Together with his co-founder and a father, Mark X. Cornin, the pair opened for business in December 2016 with a mission to spread happiness. John’s love for crazy socks paired with his love of making people happy has made John's Crazy Socks the world's largest sock store.
Not only do we have socks you will love (29,000+ 5-star reviews), more than half our employees have a differing ability and giving back is baked into everything we do starting with a pledge of 5 percent of earnings to the Special Olympics. (John is a special Olympic athlete.) And every package includes a hand-written thank you note from John and some candy.
