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.

  • Have lots of Bombas products and they have a super high quality feel. I prefer wear the socks for specific uses instead of every day wear because the durability is not great for the price point. My fiancé only wears the ankle socks for a few months before they have holes in the heel and he just wears them for everyday walking. I love my Saturday slippers though!!!

  • The two notable words I would say is these are comfortable and reliable. My feet can breathe while wearing them and I don't have to worry about them sliding down into my shoes. I do think you need to ensure that they are washed per the directions and taken care of to ensure longevity. However the Bombas warranty team is amazing and makes the purchase price worth it.

  • I’ll admit, I used to think it was ridiculous to spend that much on a pair of everyday socks.. athleisure or otherwise. But after trying Bombas, I have to say they’re surprisingly comfortable and well made. I still think the price point feels a little outrageous but the quality has me curious to try more.

  • solid product, comfy and cushioning, do relatively well over time though personally the white nike crew socks are still the gold standard

  • Great quality socks. I got some as gifts for my whole family for Christmas and they love them as well. I especially love how they donate one pair for every pair sold. They have a huge variety of colors and sock heights to choose from.

  • I have a husband a two sons who workout and are on the go all of the time. We have tried more brands of what we call “short socks” than I can count. Bombas is my husband’s favorite and #1 requested brand because of a combination of comfort and affordability. Now, if I could only keep them together int the wash, that truly would be something! 😂

  • I love my Bombas so much I've taken to gifting them to everyone I know. They are cushy, soft, supportive, and most importantly - after a long day on my feet (I have a standing desk) I don't want to chop my feet off and throw them out the window, even after standing for like six to eight hours straight. Why are they so good? And they come in great colors, too. Grateful for whoever's genius idea and product this is, lol!

  • Love these socks, super soft and warm. Well made to last. Also love how they say buy a pair and they donate a pair. Respected company.

  • I absolutely love my Bombas—and their incredible customer service! My Bombas journey started years ago when my mother-in-law gifted me their hiking socks. While I appreciated the gesture, I found myself wishing for more everyday options. When I reached out to customer service, not only were they friendly and responsive, but they also told me to keep the hiking socks or pass them along to someone else. That simple act of generosity won me over. Since then, I’ve completely converted my entire sock drawer to Bombas. Their socks are impressively durable—I’ve had pairs that have lasted for years—and the comfort is unmatched. I’ve recently started buying them as gifts for family members (yes, even my toddler!), and while it feels like a bit of a splurge, it’s one I feel great about. The quality, thoughtful designs, and longevity make them well worth the price. I also love that Bombas continues to evolve, offering fun collaborations and branching into other apparel categories. It’s clear they care not only about quality but also creativity and community. Now, if they could just invent socks that don’t disappear in the dryer, I’d truly have no complaints!

  • The collaborations, size availability, and quality are all great! My husband has a hard time finding socks that are high quality in his size, and Bombas seems to have hit the mark. We loved the Eric Carle artwork options, as well as the neutral color availability,

  • Ordered these toddler veggie socks as a gift and wow are they cute! Love that they have some grip at the bottom to help with slipping. I think they're a little pricey for kids socks but I managed to get them on sale and since they donate socks to those in need when you purchase, it makes the price a little more digestible. Shipping was quick and packaging is lovely.

  • Comfy things to wear on your feet. Though I also have a brown pocket tee I really like by this company. It's really oversized and I never wear a tee without a pocket these days. That goes for most of the things I wear. I like the slippers. There is something on the bottom that helps you stay stable. No slipping! But feel like a thick, comfy sock. Expensive though. I'd like to try the socks, but I have sensory issues that can make wearing socks unbearable. If they have a great return policy, maybe I'll check some out.

  • From the moment I pulled a pair out of the pack, these socks felt dramatically better than most basic ankle pairs. They’ve got a thoughtful design, arch support in the “honeycomb” knit, a seamless toe so there’s no rubbing or bump at the front, and a heel/tab that helps them stay put rather than slouching into your shoe. I found that after a day of walking or standing, my feet felt supported rather than just cushioned. The yarn blend is soft but durable, and the build quality felt like it would hold up over time, which is rare for socks that feel this comfortable. For casual wear, commuting, or even light activity, they strike a really nice mix of comfort + performance. Also, the mission behind the brand is a plus: every pair you buy helps donate a pair to someone in need, which makes me feel better about paying a premium.

  • Really great quality socks with a great mission behind the brand. Socks are comfy and plush while looking great. Although they are expensive, the quality and mission are worth it! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

  • One of the most compelling things about Bombas is their mission: for every item purchased, they donate an item to someone affected by homelessness. Supporting a company that prioritizes social impact makes each purchase feel more meaningful. The Infrastructure of Giving they have created is really amazing!! You can read more about it here: https://beebetter.bombas.com/impact. Beyond the mission, Bombas also puts a lot of thought into the design and construction of their products. Order Details - Lightweight No Show Socks – Beige - Lightweight No Show Socks – Tan - Lightweight Athletic Ankle Socks – White - Solid Ankle Socks – Dusty Steel - Scallop Cuff Quarter Socks – White Lavender - Ruffle Rib Quarter Socks – White - Modern Rib Quarter Socks – Warm Ecru These high-quality, thoughtfully designed socks are incredibly comfortable! The Lightweight No Show Socks feature a silicone heel grip that really stays in place (no slipping even after a full day of walking in the city!). As someone who wears socks year-round, I love how versatile and breathable this style is for any occasion. I also picked up the Lightweight Athletic Ankle Socks to wear with my Hokas. Since Hokas already have substantial cushioning, I prefer a lighter sock so these are perfect if you're looking for something that won’t add extra bulk. Lastly, the Quarter Socks with their subtle scallop and ruffle details bring just the right amount of fun to any outfit without sacrificing comfort. They offer a wide range of fun colors, but I chose neutral tones to keep my outfits more versatile and functional. Overall, Bombas delivers on both style and comfort and knowing each purchase supports someone in need makes it all the more worth it! Buying socks for myself as an adult is one of those simple joys that adds a little extra bounce and spark to my step!

  • I love bombas. They are great quality and keep my feet dry and warm. They are on the pricey side, but they last a long time, whereas other socks I have already have holes and are threadbare. I love how many styles and colors they have.

  • I’ve known about Bombas for a long time and have tried on friends’ socks, but this was my first order. When my package went poof (mail issue? package thieves? who’s to say) I emailed customer service and they got back to me within hours to make it right. I chose to simply have a new package shipped, but was also offered store credit in excess of my price or a full refund! They even tacked on expedited shipping for the replacement. Absolutely top notch service and a company I’d be willing to go back to time and time again. The socks themselves are so comfortable, and their collaborations are perfect. No plastic other than the mailer bag, so none of those annoying fasteners to dig out of the socks. I’m kind of obsessed.

  • Honestly I was doubtful that I would love these as they are pretty pricy for socks. But I got their black quarter socks as a gift and they are actually amazing. the perfect length for wearing with sneaker and they feel soft and plush.

  • If you’re tired of thin, scratchy socks that leave your feet cold and sad, do yourself a favor and grab a pair (or three). Total game changer for cozy season. They are thick, supportive, and great for any activity.
