Original Ankle Socks

These socks are comfortable and so far have been pretty durable! They don't show when I am wearing tennis shoes, and do not slide off my foot. When you first get them, they have a little bit of arch support!

Have lots of Bombas products and they have a super high quality feel. I prefer wear the socks for specific uses instead of every day wear because the durability is not great for the price point. My fiancé only wears the ankle socks for a few months before they have holes in the heel and he just wears them for everyday walking. I love my Saturday slippers though!!!

The two notable words I would say is these are comfortable and reliable. My feet can breathe while wearing them and I don't have to worry about them sliding down into my shoes. I do think you need to ensure that they are washed per the directions and taken care of to ensure longevity. However the Bombas warranty team is amazing and makes the purchase price worth it.

I absolutely love my Bombas—and their incredible customer service! My Bombas journey started years ago when my mother-in-law gifted me their hiking socks. While I appreciated the gesture, I found myself wishing for more everyday options. When I reached out to customer service, not only were they friendly and responsive, but they also told me to keep the hiking socks or pass them along to someone else. That simple act of generosity won me over. Since then, I’ve completely converted my entire sock drawer to Bombas. Their socks are impressively durable—I’ve had pairs that have lasted for years—and the comfort is unmatched. I’ve recently started buying them as gifts for family members (yes, even my toddler!), and while it feels like a bit of a splurge, it’s one I feel great about. The quality, thoughtful designs, and longevity make them well worth the price. I also love that Bombas continues to evolve, offering fun collaborations and branching into other apparel categories. It’s clear they care not only about quality but also creativity and community. Now, if they could just invent socks that don’t disappear in the dryer, I’d truly have no complaints!

From the moment I pulled a pair out of the pack, these socks felt dramatically better than most basic ankle pairs. They’ve got a thoughtful design, arch support in the “honeycomb” knit, a seamless toe so there’s no rubbing or bump at the front, and a heel/tab that helps them stay put rather than slouching into your shoe. I found that after a day of walking or standing, my feet felt supported rather than just cushioned. The yarn blend is soft but durable, and the build quality felt like it would hold up over time, which is rare for socks that feel this comfortable. For casual wear, commuting, or even light activity, they strike a really nice mix of comfort + performance. Also, the mission behind the brand is a plus: every pair you buy helps donate a pair to someone in need, which makes me feel better about paying a premium.

I’ve known about Bombas for a long time and have tried on friends’ socks, but this was my first order. When my package went poof (mail issue? package thieves? who’s to say) I emailed customer service and they got back to me within hours to make it right. I chose to simply have a new package shipped, but was also offered store credit in excess of my price or a full refund! They even tacked on expedited shipping for the replacement. Absolutely top notch service and a company I’d be willing to go back to time and time again. The socks themselves are so comfortable, and their collaborations are perfect. No plastic other than the mailer bag, so none of those annoying fasteners to dig out of the socks. I’m kind of obsessed.

I hate wearing sock, but love my Bombas ankle socks. They are comfortable without feeling bulky, and they hit at just the right place with sneakers. They are also cute with clogs or just about anything.

You might think socks are socks until you try Bombas. The cushioning on these socks is unreal and you don’t realize how much you miss it until you go back to another brand. They’re definitely pricier but I do feel that the quality is worth it. They have sales fairly often and you can get a discount by ordering a pack.

I think that these socks are just okay. I have liked other ones that have more cushion support a lot more. The ones I have also run very small and are not the most comfortable for a long run. I wear them around the house.

super soft socks and a first class return policy and customer service. for products that i wanted to return, they often didn't have me ship them back and "give to a friend" and when i had product quality issue they replaced it right away, no questions asked.

This review hurts to write, but as an early adopter of Bombas, I am heartbroken by the decrease in quality over the years. I own bombas socks that are several years old that are in better shape than newer socks I have purchased in the last 3 months... At first, I thought it was the sock type I was purchasing, but regardless of sock material type (athletic, original, merino wool blend) my socks get rips or holes quite quickly, that do not justify the cost any longer. This does not seem to hold for the gripper slipper, the quality on the slipper has remained fairly good and I have not seen a decline in quality (yet). Bonus points were given for having larger sizes available in socks. Pictured are the wool blend socks that are already pilling and thinning after 2 months of twice weekly wear. I have a different brand of wool socks that are 2 years old that are in better condition :(

Loved their high quality slip on sock cum shoes with grips. They are unbelievably comfortable and cozy in winters. Feels like not wearing any shoes while providing warmth to the feet. Perfect for gifts too.

Extremely comfortable and wearable, I highly recommend it, as it adapts to your feet's shape. I didn't know their purpose was giving back to the homeless, but an excellent cause you should contribute to.

I have worn these socks for a while, and they really are some of the best no-show socks. They stay on your feet and don't slide down the back of your feet like a lot of them do. They are good quality and stay on - which is key.

These socks are the BEST! The compression about the sole of the foot is so comfortable. I also love behind the heal that there is extra cushion, this is great to prevent any blisters when on long walks or runs! I received these as a gift in my Christmas stocking, and I hope to get more in the stocking this year! Truly nothing I wish was better, these are amazing and worth the money!

Bombas are the bomb! My entire family loves the comfort, durability, and social message of the Bombas brand and are one hundred percent committed to these socks. The one-for-one donation fully aligns with our family’s desire to do good things for others while investing in quality products.

My favorite socks. Great for all my needs - running, spinning, going for a walk or hike. I love the cushioning. My daughter will only wear bombas for her narrow feet. The ankle height socks are best for me.

I'm IN LOVE with Bombas Socks! I've been working hard to eliminate all other socks from my sock drawer. I have a LOT of Bombas and never plan on stopping! The athletic Bombas are amazing for cardio day!

expensive socks but worth it - super plush and last forever. the tab at the back helps prevent any slipping in your shoes and they wash great as well (though they sometimes need a second go on the dryer cycle)

Bombas are some of the most cushioned and comfortable socks I've ever worn. I had heard recommendations of them previously and I have to admit they're worth the hype. They're also a comfortable length and don't sink below my ankle/into my shoes.
