Bombas reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Plush cushioning comfort
  • Secure no-show grip
  • Supportive arch compression
  • Breathable performance fabrics
  • Inconsistent fabric durability
  • Tight calf compression
  • Thick knit heat buildup
  • Sizing inconsistency across styles

Bombas delivers notably comfortable, supportive socks that many reviews call their daily go-to—no-show styles stay put, performance and running pairs cushion without bulk, and kids’ grippy socks impress—yet durability is inconsistent, with multiple reports of holes, pilling, and shrinkage. Reviews on Bombas also praise breathable materials, arch-hugging fit, and the brand’s donation model, while flagging product-inherent drawbacks like thick fabrics feeling too warm or tight on wide calves, variable sizing between styles, and a price that feels steep for socks.

  • Very comfortable socks. The line at the middle hugs the feet

    Feedback

    Maybe better colors

  • I love their grip socks!! I’ve bought a ton, all the types.

    Feedback

    Only thing, their women’s socks run a little small/tight in some types, which I didn’t expect as their house shoe socks ran larger.

  • Comfy, last longs. Have not had long enough to know if they go the test of time but so far so good.

    Feedback

    Needs something to really stand out from other socks.

  • Bombas are my favorite sock by far. I have no shows, ankle socks, quarter socks, biking socks, ski socks, and compression socks. I also have the gripper slippers (Writing that out seems like a lot but hey I said they were my favorite!). They all feel like your foot is getting a hug. They are on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for and my experience with customer service has been great. Plus, they donate a pair of socks for every one you buy. So you are doing some good while shopping!

    Love the variety in length, material, use, and colors. The only opportunity area is that I think the regular socks are a little on the warm/thick side. I find I can't wear them with shoes or else my feet get way too hot. Otherwise I'm always happy when I pick some Bombas socks out of the drawer.

  • Bombas socks are worth every penny. Their guarantee is really that good! I’m in the process of replacing ALL my socks with Bombas!

    You can’t improve perfect! Don’t change a thing!

  • Comfortable socks but not game-changing in my opinion.

    Feedback

    A little expensive for what they are

  • I loved bombas socks. They are the ultimate in comfort and warmth. Unfortunately they wear out very fast.

  • I loved the details and style of the Bombas socks! They are really comfortable socks, I also used them for physical activity and I really enjoyed them.

  • Love these socks for both exercise and everyday!!

  • Perfectly passable, but some pretty bad designs on them.

    Feedback

    Better designs! They don’t need to look ugly.

  • everyone of my friends loves Bombas, so i bought a few pairs of the ankle socks. after ~10 washes, the socks start to wear/thin out -- especially on the heel. they also stretched out and didn't maintain their structure. i was pretty disappointed. they're good socks, but the shelf-life is much shorter than desired.

    Feedback

    fine socks. i think there are better options that i would recommend over them (e.g. Feetures). after ~10 washes, the socks start to wear/thin out -- especially on the heel. they also stretched out and didn't maintain their structure. i was pretty disappointed. they're good socks, but the shelf-life is much shorter than desired.

  • Love Bombas! They are super comfortable and I love their mission.

    Feedback

    Only reason I didn't give a 5 is because they're a bit high cut, and I prefer no-show, but love these socks. Highly recommend!

  • We used to LOVE Bombas. They were our go-to sock but the last two orders we've made the socks have been a completely different quality. Within 2-5 wears they already have holes starting, when we still have pairs from 3+ years ago that are going strong. They no longer are worth the price, hopefully they get back to their original quality.

  • Bombas seem to be my only socks that don't get holes in them after a few months of wearing them. They are comfortable and provide a nice support to the foot. Bombas are sort of a "foot hug" and I love it. I have the vintage stripe calf socks and will eventually be getting more.

    Feedback

    They're more expensive than I want them to be, but they are worth the price.

  • I normally HATE socks, but I truly do love their ankle socks. Especially the thick-ness of them, and how they hold up wash after wash. On the mission side, I have seen unhoused folks wearing Bombas so they are legitimate. I took off one star, because I have some of their longer knee high and wool socks, and i do wish they were a bit thicker.

  • Absolutely love Bombas' mission. Mom loves wearing these socks and Remington loves stealing these socks from the laundry. ;) The compression on the socks is just the right feel and it curves your fit perfectly. Highly recommend.

    Feedback

    For me, socks tend to not last long. There's always holes that show up on the bottom soon after wearing them a few times. Luckily, my Bombas socks are still going strong and are standing the test of time.

  • High-quality material that lasts YEARS. Amazing customer service. Love the brand mission of buy one, give one. Lots of fun patterns and color designs, plus limited-edition and seasonal offerings (like their collaboration with Sesame Street), which keeps the brand culturally relevant. Highly recommend.

    Feedback

    They offer socks for adults, toddlers, and babies. They’ve expanded their selection to also include clothing options.

  • I love my Bombas socks! They are incredibly comfortable and soft, and they fit perfectly. I have a wide range of colors to choose from so I can match any outfit. I especially appreciate their arch support and reinforced heel, which make them extra comfortable. I've been wearing these socks for months and they still look brand new. They are definitely worth the price and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality pair of socks.

  • My first few pairs of Bombas came as a gift. I loved them so much I bought more for myself and then bought some as gifts for others. I cannot say enough about how comfortable they are to wear. I have 14 pairs and love them all!

  • Every Bombas merino wool shirt I have purchased gets holes in them just where it contacts the top of my jeans. I have other brand merino and also cashmere sweaters from other brands and this does not happen! I have returned but the whole process after awhile is annoying.
