Reviews mention

  • Plush cushioning comfort
  • Supportive honeycomb arch band
  • Secure no-show heel grip
  • Breathable, moisture-wicking knit
  • Inconsistent long-term durability
  • Occasional tight calf compression
  • Notably thick, warm knit
  • Sizing and fit variability

Bombas earns strong reviews for comfort, support, and stay-put performance—especially in running, no-show, kids’ gripper, and compression socks—while its one-pair-donated mission resonates. Reviews also flag real drawbacks: frequent reports of holes within months to a couple years, occasional shrinking or tight calves/ankles, some styles too thick or warm, and inconsistent fit among designs, making quality feel uneven despite many long-lasting pairs.

  • 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.

  • Actually the most comfortable socks. The regular socks are soft and amazing. The no-show socks have the appropriate thickness and the little rubber stoppers so they don't slip.

    Feedback

    Expensive but honestly worth it. Some pairs that I have and have worked out in a ton have lost their shape/softness.

  • This business’s mission is beautiful. They provide help to the homeless community, and their products are wonderfully made. They’re soft, durable, and the construction is clearly designed to last a long time.

  • The most comfortable socks and I love the cause

  • I love my Bombas gripper slippers. They're warm, comfy, and have lasted me years so far without any noticeable wear. But the regular socks are so overpriced for what you get, and I've found them to be hot, sweaty, and wear thin quickly. When there are so many other wool-blend socks on the market, there's just no need to get these.

  • Have you ever tried a pair of Bombas socks? Let me tell you, they’re like little hugs for your feet! 🧦💕 As someone who’s always on the go, finding comfy and durable socks is a game changer. Plus, knowing that Bombas donates a pair to those in need with every purchase just warms my heart. It feels good to support a brand that truly gives back while keeping us cozy and stylish. If you're looking for your next favorite pair of socks, I highly recommend giving them a try. Your feet (and others) will thank you!

  • Bombas has become my go-to brand for socks, underwear, and t-shirts! The comfort is unmatched—everything feels so soft, breathable, and fits perfectly. I love how their products are designed with attention to every detail, from the arch support in their socks to the seamless design in their t-shirts. What makes Bombas even more special is their commitment to giving back; for every item purchased, they donate to those in need, particularly to the homeless. It’s refreshing to support a brand that not only provides high-quality essentials but also makes a positive impact on the community. If you're looking for comfy, reliable basics and want to make a difference, Bombas is definitely the way to go!

  • I love these socks! Theyre so comfortable, keep my feet warm and toasty and they're so cute! Now only buying these socks from now on.

  • If it weren’t for the price point, I would give these socks a 5. They are super comfortable and high quality. My boyfriend got some for Christmas and I steal them all of the time. I would like some for myself but I feel guilty spending so much on just a little pair of socks. They seem to hold up over time though.

  • These socks are a pretty penny. I bought them after seeing them on shark tank. They’re very soft! Anyways one out of 4 pairs ripped and I reached out to them and never got a response but was put on all these emails, never again. Spent like $60 for 5 pairs.
