Reviews mention

  • 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.

  • I've been ordering and wearing Bombas for several years now and first came to know of the brand through its mission of giving back to the homeless because socks are an overlooked item for donations to shelters. My favorite products are the no sock socks and the 3-packs of ankle socks in both performance and casual styles. The colors and patterns are simple, yet cute and the quality has held up with many washes.

    Feedback

    As far as improvement, the price sometimes gives reason for pause as it's a little higher than other socks. When I purchased men's socks for my partner we were disappointed that they developed holes after one wash, but I have never experienced that with my women's socks.

  • These socks are just the best. I like to wear my socks until they have holes and I think it will be a long time until my bombas get holes in them! I also had a great experience with their customer service.

  • Great no show socks that actually stay on my feet. Love their mission too!

  • Once you try Bombas you really can't go back to Kirkland or Target socks. They are absolutely worth the price. These socks have become a game-changer for me, especially when out on long walks with my dog. During Covid I started walking 10k steps a day and these socks made all the difference. Who knew you could become so passionate about socks...but trust me the hype is real. The comfort level is off the charts, and let me tell you, the compression feature takes it to a whole new level. It's like these socks give my feet a cozy hug while providing the perfect amount of support. The cushioned soles make every step feel effortless, and are great at preventing blisters. Plus, every pair you buy, Bombas donates a pair to someone in need. I just love that.

  • Love their mission and also love their specialty socks (I have the heavier compression ones) since they seem really high quality and like they know what they are doing. Some companies only have light compression socks for example but Bombas let's you choose what you need for your specific circumstance so I was glad about that!

  • Ordered these awhile back and still love how they feel.

  • I love these socks. So worth the money. High-quality. Great fit. Wash well. The list goes on. Huge plus that the ankle socks aren't a weird length like most ankle socks from other brands are. I will forever be thankful to my friend who recommended them to me.

  • The lightweight ankle socks are now the only socks I wear for workouts - very durable, very comfortable. I don’t see the need to ever try a different sock.

  • Love the fun colors of Bombas socks. I bought them years ago when I first saw the brand on Shark Tank and they have lasted since then! My only complaint is that they are a bit too tight and leave a mark on my skin, but other than that, they are amazing socks!

  • I only have one pair of these socks and love when I get to wear them. They are comfy and sleek to wear. I wish they were not so expensive as I would love to purchase more.

  • Bombas are the perfect gift. Super great quality! Mine last through a lot of wear and activities.

  • Although expensive compared to other brands, I continue to be impressed by quality, fit and durability. Ample sizing for easy pull on Cotton is soft and warm

  • The product as well as the brand's mission are topnotch! My employer provided me with Bombas socks about 7 years back to help boost their mission. Ever since then, I've bought socks from them, and now they make basics for men including underwear and t-shirts. Their underwear are excellent fitting as well as have a soft feel, while also nicely colorful.

  • Wave goodbye to the days of thin socks that lack elasticity and require constant adjustment. Bombas offer the perfect level of comfort and support, providing an easy way to upgrade a daily piece of your wardrobe. The only room for improvement is longevity and durability, as over time they have a tendency to lose some of the stretch and feel that makes this product so great.

  • They're great socks! I don't think I would rave about them as highly as others but I enjoy the pairs that I have. Be cautious about the sizing though. I am a women's size 7 and ordered the small and feel like they're a little tight on me.
