  • Plush, supportive cushioning
  • Secure no‑show grip design
  • Breathable, sweat‑wicking knits
  • Thoughtful heel tab ergonomics
  • Inconsistent heel‑toe durability
  • Tight calf and ankle band
  • Noticeable shrinkage after washes
  • Too thick for narrow shoes

Bombas earns strong reviews for exceptionally comfortable, supportive socks that stay put—no-shows that don’t slip, cushioned running and hiking styles, and arch-hugging honeycomb knits impress. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some pairs shrink, run tight on wider feet/calves, feel thick in snug shoes, and durability can be inconsistent with heels/toes developing holes over months to a couple years. Many praise long wear and the one-pair-donated mission; others find them pricey for the longevity delivered. Overall, Bombas is good if you want plush comfort, grip, and fit; consider style and fit nuances if you prefer thinner or roomier socks.

  • Bombas socks are great, and they have so many different options for your needs. My boyfriend loves their running socks best, because they hug his feet really well and prevent blisters. He’s been wearing Bombas exclusively for years now. Unfortunately, some of his recent pairs have been getting holes with typical wear before even a year.

  • I went to the natural products expo west today and I wore my new Bombas socks for the first time and they were the most comfortable socks I’ve ever owned. I purchased the women’s ankle socks 3 pack. They did not make my feet sweat which also was a huge plus. I walked over 14,000 steps today just at that expo. They also kept my feet super supported and comfortable all day long.

  • 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!

  • I have been using Stance socks for a couple of years recently when I needed to replacements I decided to try Bombas and have loved them so far. They are very soft, high quality and also are the perfect size.

  • These are the only socks I want to wear when I run and work out. They feel sturdy and supportive but lightweight enough when it's hot out. Wish they had more designs for this style but I'll take what I can get!

  • I am a general fan of Bombas socks. A few years ago Bombas underwear were also really good and lasted for a while. All that said, it’s hard to support a brand that has an investor like Kevin O’Leary - a man that thinks the reason younger generations are facing a housing crisis is because they are spending $26 on a lunch salad and not because of people like him. Ultimately, the socks aren’t good enough to put more money in his pocket. And while the brand mission statement is a great one, the only reason he supports it is because each donated product is a tax write off.

  • solid product, comfy and cushioning, do relatively well over time though personally the white nike crew socks are still the gold standard

  • Pretty comfortable socks overall. I'd say I'm pretty active and even wearing these when working out or biking, it's very durable and soft.

  • The socks are not worth the money. They don’t last , have several pair with holes. Money back guarantee is fraud, I sent email complaining and never got a response. Take my advice and buy another brand, save your money.

  • The Pilates Sock I Did Not Know I Was Missing There is something quietly powerful about a product that disappears once you start moving. These socks do exactly that. From the first wear, they stood out for both performance and comfort. The fabric is exceptionally soft and lightweight, with a breathable feel that stays comfortable through an entire class without ever feeling bulky or tight. The patterned grip on the sole delivers reliable traction on studio floors and feels noticeably more secure than the worn pairs I had been holding onto far longer than I should have. I wear these specifically for Pilates, where stability matters. The difference was immediate. They feel supportive and grounded, yet light enough that I quickly forgot about them once class began. The brand’s mission is genuinely compelling, but what ultimately won me over was the experience. I initially ordered the wrong size, despite checking the size chart, and the customer service was outstanding. The exchange was handled quickly and without friction, with a new size sent out right away. I now reach for these over every other pair I own and have already added more to my rotation. Soft, secure, thoughtfully made, and quietly excellent.

  • Ordered these toddler veggie socks as a gift and wow are they cute! Love that they have some grip at the bottom to help with slipping. I think they're a little pricey for kids socks but I managed to get them on sale and since they donate socks to those in need when you purchase, it makes the price a little more digestible. Shipping was quick and packaging is lovely.

  • love the packaging and of course the mission behind bombas. of course a purchase should also provide donated relief to those in need. I love bombas socks and i'm wearing these slippers for the first time. sooo warm but i think i would have sized down as my feet move around in these a bit. still love to wear them after being outside all day!

  • I’m a huge fan of Bombas socks and have multiple pairs. This is a solid ankle sock which I have in multiple colors and is a go-to sock any time I wear athletic shoes or simply wear socks around the house. I love how they maintain their shape and elasticity, both during long daily wear and longer-term ownership. They also hug the feet comfortably and don’t rub the skin as some other socks can do. I also love how Bombas donates a pair for each pair purchased. Having volunteered regularly at a school for students experiencing homelessness, I have personally seen Bombas socks available for people who need them the most. Some may ask why to give “the expensive ones?” and I’ll tell you. Students only receive a few pairs, so they have to maintain their shape and elasticity. Others would fall apart after longer term use if they only owned a few pairs.

  • What a great product is exactly was looking for. I need it for work because i am standing all day long. I love how thick they are and comfortable.You are definitely paying for comfort. I definitely recommend this product.

  • I’ve purchased Bombas socks and underwear for my husband several times over the years, and at this point, he refuses to wear anything else. The socks are the perfect balance of thick, supportive, and breathable. They don’t lose their shape, they don’t pill, and they still look great after countless washes. He reaches for them first every time. The underwear is just as impressive, insanely soft, comfortable, and they actually hold their structure. No stretching out, no riding up, no constant adjusting. He’s genuinely happier wearing them, which I didn’t realize was something underwear could accomplish. Yes, they cost more than most basics, but the quality and longevity completely justify it. And knowing that every purchase helps someone in need makes it even better. Bombas is one of those brands that once you try it, you don’t go back. Highly recommend.

  • 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.

  • Two years ago I bought a pair of the Bombas women’s compression socks before an 18 hour flight. Since then, I’ve flown multiple lengthy international flights and these have been my savior! I’ve purchased other compression socks before that were made of polyester and slid around in my shoe. The natural fibers in this sock make it feel breathable and like a normal sock, while keeping my circulation flowing when seated for so long. The only downside is the price point, so I only buy these when they are on sale! That said, I bought my parents each a pair on Black Friday and am excited for them to open it.

  • I really love these socks. First off, I truly commend their mission and the fact that each purchase I make from them goes to a good cause. Moreover, these socks are super high quality. For instance, if typical generic sock sizes don't work for you, that won't be an issue here. Plus, they make for a perfect holiday gift, as you can see in the picture, the holiday ones come in the cutest packaging!

  • I love bombas. They are great quality and keep my feet dry and warm. They are on the pricey side, but they last a long time, whereas other socks I have already have holes and are threadbare. I love how many styles and colors they have.

  • I got these socks for Christmas a couple of years ago and they are still in really great condition. I really enjoy wearing them as they provide some compression/support around my high arches, but gave it 4/5 stars because they are super tight on my ankles (and I don’t have very big ankles/calves).
