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.

  • Basically the only socks I buy and wear anymore. I normally destroy socks within a season or two but these hold up longer than any other socks I've ever bought. Also love that the seamless seam because the bulky seams on other socks would always give me blisters before.

  • I love how comfortable these socks are and I look forward to my Bombas socks in my rotation of socks! The mission of donating one is very valuable and makes me feel better about the price.

    The price hurts my soul.

  • I love my bombas! I was gifted a set for Christmas in 2019. They are well made. I got the wool socks that made my feed feel warm, supported, but not too hot. For the price, I probably wouldn’t purchase myself. But I love these as gifts.

  • I discovered Bombas by stealing pairs from my mother, who promptly bought me a pack that I wear constantly. (Now my husband steals them from me.) They have the perfect foot-hug sensation that makes you feel nice and cozy and supportive (if you can call socks supportive.) I've become quite the Bombas fangirl.

    Most of their colors are quite bright. I wish they had more in the natural colors realm. Also they're a bit pricey (but worth it).

  • Bombas is such a big problem for me since once you get used to wearing them, it's hard to put on any other brand of sock. The way they conform to the foot and DON'T SLIP DOWN because of weak elastic. Pricey, but they can take a lot of use and rewashes. —— I'd skip the underwear completely though, they need to figure out better designs and colorways. T-shirts and stuff are ok, but way too pricey for what they are imo.

  • While the quality of these socks remains relatively high, I have found that it has decreased overtime. I’m unsure if this is due to potential cost-cutting measures, but the difference is noticeable. While I appreciate the charitable giving associated with each purchase, the price remains too high for the value received.

  • Loved the comfort of these socks!

  • These socks are okay. While they hold up great, I would expect them to wash better than they do. The pair I have now is very pilled and while it has no holes, it still looks very worn. As expensive as they are, it should be a little higher quality.

  • These socks are soooo comfortable it’s ridiculous! They’re a little bit on the pricier side of things but the quality is wonderful. I received them as a gift for Christmas and have been wearing them daily since.

  • They are so soft and snug and cozy. I liked all the colors and different varieties as well. I use them every day and they keep my free dry and comfortable without getting scratched with my shoes. Last long and makes for good quality gift

  • These socks are great quality and very comfortable. I also love the mission that donates clothing to those in need for each purchase made. However, these socks are outrageously priced, making them more of a special treat than an every day staple.

  • Bombas socks have set the bar high for comfort, quality, and social responsibility. With their superior comfort, durability, and wide variety of styles, Bombas has earned its reputation as one of the best sock brands on the market. Plus, the brand’s commitment to helping those in need makes each purchase feel even better. If you’re looking for socks that combine style, performance, and philanthropy, Bombas is definitely worth the investment.

  • A soft curl protects the back of my heel from the rear lip of my shoe. In addition, the curl is just thick enough to discourage sand and pebbles from sneaking in during my trail walks. Nary a blister has ever appeared while hiking or walking through the streets of Denver in my Bombas.

  • These socks come is so many color ways and different styles. I like the ankle length socks as they are comfortable to walk in and stay in place as well. They look cute peeking out of my shoes with the pastel colors

  • Why anyone would pay this much money for socks is beyond me. They are good quality but I would rather just give some money directly to the homeless. It seems like people don't realize that's an option.

  • Love these socks. I have larger and wider feet, so it is super hard for me to find ankle socks that stay on. Nothing worse than socks slipping. These stay on tho. And they are so ethical and do so much charity!

  • These socks are great. I love using them for workouts, but also just for every day where I go for walks every single day in these and they are super soft and comfortable and they don’t get holes in them easily, which is great.

  • Bombas socks live up to the hype in a lot of ways. They’re super comfortable, well-cushioned, and genuinely feel more supportive than regular socks — especially the ankle and no-show styles. You can tell they’re made with quality in mind, and they hold up really well in the wash. I also really appreciate the company’s mission. Knowing that every purchase helps donate socks to someone in need makes it feel like you’re spending a little extra for a good reason. The only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is the price — they’re definitely on the higher end. I get that you're paying for quality and a cause, but it still feels like a bit of a splurge for socks. Overall, though, they’re a great pick if you want durability, comfort, and a feel-good brand behind it.

  • I have like 4 pairs of these socks and they are nice. I use them all the time. Not just for workouts.

  • The most comfy socks are the market. They actually stay on, they are cushioned for extra support, and so many colors to choose from. Absolutely love this brand and will continue to purchase.
