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.

  • My favorite socks ever. They are worth every penny for how comfortable and nice looking they are. My only complaint is that some of my socks have gotten holes after not that many wears. Overall, I can’t wear any other socks besides these.

  • These socks are pricey but well worth the money. Highly recommend if you are on your feet a lot and you go through lots of socks weekly.

  • My friend Rob introduced me to Bombas socks, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I especially love their no-show socks. The comfort and quality are unmatched—they stay in place all day without slipping, and the cushioning is perfect for all-day wear. Plus, knowing that each purchase helps someone in need makes them even better. Whether I’m traveling or just running errands, Bombas no-shows are my go-to socks for any occasion. Highly recommend giving them a try!

  • Bought them as gifts for christmas, and treated myself to some compression socks. Now the whole family is hooked! My mom has gone and now bought more compression socks for her job as that's all she uses. Price point is a bit high, so I prefer buying the bundles.

  • Last year I purchased a pair of "gripper slippers" for my wife for the end-of-year holidays, and in order to meet the minimum amount for free shipping also bought two pairs of Bombas men's ankle socks. Almost a year later, they are still going strong, and among my favorite socks. They're well-made and have held up to multiple washings. My wife had some pilling on her slippers about a month after she got them, called up Bombas, and they sent her a replacement pair that have been problem-free since that time (the only quibble was that she couldn't choose the color they sent). All-in-all, a good brand and a quality product. that I would recommend.

  • I use the merino wool running socks and they are amazing - way more comfortable and soft than most other merino socks and the market, don't trap smells, and work perfectly for cold/rainy runs as well as runs in warmer month. Very comfortable and help prevent chafing/blisters. Definitely on the pricier side, but ultimately worth it for how well they hold up.

  • They're a little hug on your feet! The most perfectly fitting sock you have ever worn.

  • 100% the only sock brand in my drawer! I love the product & what the brand stands for!

  • I would say overall I haven't found a sock that matches the quality of Bombas. They're robust, but breathable and have the perfect cut lengths. All of my other socks feel pretty flimsy compared. However even though I've purchased multiple times, the price point always get's me. It's hard to justify spending $100 on 5 pairs for socks which I'm sure costs them pennies to make. Double hurts when your dog ends up putting a few holes in them... But at the end of the day I still haven't found socks of comparable quality so I guess you get what you pay for!

  • I love my Bombas - they fit well and clean well. I just wish they came in more colors / some patterns. I also love the mission. They do honor their guarantee though - my mom has had a few pairs rip and they’ve replaced.

  • If there’s going to be anyone to give you the best opinions on socks, it’s field scientists (and other outdoorsy people). I’m a proud environmental scientist, and I put MILES on my work boots, hiking boots, Birks, sneakers, etc… it’s all part of the job. Being so, you’d think I’d have a sock for every season and occasion, but I prefer to keep my wardrobe small and streamlined. I love versatile clothing that I can wear in all different weather and events. Enter, BOMBAS. These socks fit my wide feet without being too loose, and their padded heel + built in Blister Tab really helps prevent blisters when I’m on site, in the gym, or hiking a trail. My feet don’t get sweaty, and my unnaturally high arches feel supported through the honeycomb arch support. Also, they are deliciously soft, and don’t get that weird crispy texture that some socks do when you throw them in the wash/dryer. BOMBAS also donates a top priority item to a homeless shelter for every pair of socks bought— pretty cool!

  • Best socks on earth. I have had so many good experiences with this brand. Their customer service is above and beyond any other.

    I have slippers from Bombas, my partner has socks and my toddler has slippers and socks and they are the best quality. Pricey but worth it, 100%. These are my go-to gifts now.

  • These are a great sock company, if you know what you're looking for. I love wool socks, so I only purchase the wool line from Bomba. I think their cotton socks are just average, though they do a great job of creating fun colors and patterns.

    Feedback

    The cotton socks are just ok, nothing special. The wool socks are very soft and cozy.

  • Bombas are the gold standard of socks. They're thick, super soft, and give you a great amount of support from the compression.

  • These socks lasted me for ages - want to buy more

    Feedback

    None!

  • The socks are solid but the customer care is what gives them 5 stars. They have faithfully replaced any socks that have torn and though their toddler socks are expensive they are very durable and thick.

  • Best ever socks! Love them.

    Feedback

    Too expensive!! I want to keep buying them, but they really are so expensive.

  • I only wear Bombas! The socks are super comfortable and hug like a glove. The colors and styles are fun and they make something that's normally a boring thing exciting once again. They have the best no-show socks that Iv'e ever tried and hold a strong grip. I have about 20 pairs at all times.

    Feedback

    Only reason I gave this a 4/5 is the price point. I wish the price point was a lot lower. I hate spending hundreds of dollars on something people never really see.

  • Great products- I have LOVED the Bombas ski socks specifically- they have great padding and enough compression plus come in fun tie-die and colors. I have also given out Bombas socks to unhoused before through a local soup kitchen in NYC and it was a great experience- glad to see the brand really following through on their missions. Great gift- everyone always loves them and their mission. Last Christmas 4 people in my family Brough 10 pairs as grab bag gifts... was too funny!

    Feedback

    I find that the running and casual wear socks are to think for my liking, so I dont typically wear them causally or under boots etc. although- this is really a matter of personal preference. Would love to see them expand their offering into some thinner workout socks.
