Reviews mention

  • Plush cushioning comfort
  • Secure no-show grip
  • Supportive arch compression
  • Breathable performance fabrics
  • Inconsistent fabric durability
  • Tight calf compression
  • Thick knit heat buildup
  • Sizing inconsistency across styles

Bombas delivers notably comfortable, supportive socks that many reviews call their daily go-to—no-show styles stay put, performance and running pairs cushion without bulk, and kids’ grippy socks impress—yet durability is inconsistent, with multiple reports of holes, pilling, and shrinkage. Reviews on Bombas also praise breathable materials, arch-hugging fit, and the brand’s donation model, while flagging product-inherent drawbacks like thick fabrics feeling too warm or tight on wide calves, variable sizing between styles, and a price that feels steep for socks.

  • I really love these socks. First off, I truly commend their mission and the fact that each purchase I make from them goes to a good cause. Moreover, these socks are super high quality. For instance, if typical generic sock sizes don't work for you, that won't be an issue here. Plus, they make for a perfect holiday gift, as you can see in the picture, the holiday ones come in the cutest packaging!

  • 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 got these socks for Christmas a couple of years ago and they are still in really great condition. I really enjoy wearing them as they provide some compression/support around my high arches, but gave it 4/5 stars because they are super tight on my ankles (and I don’t have very big ankles/calves).

  • One of my favorite socks to wear with my cowboy boots. Super random I know, but the cushion they provide is top-notch. Along with them being breathable, my feet don't sweat at all with these on! I'm not the biggest "sock" person, but these are always my go-to socks when I need them.

  • These slipper socks are nice. Easy to throw on and also to bring on trips since they're very flexible and lightweight. Also we're quite easy to wash. I also like that Bombas has different sizes to accommodate different fit.

  • These are my go-to running socks. The compression is really nice. I love all of my bombas socks. I wish they were a bit cheaper, but you are definitely paying for high quality socks. I would love an ankle version of these socks too. I have had them for 1.5 years and they have held up well.

  • Bombas makes truly great socks — soft, durable, fun colors, and they actually stay put. I also appreciate that every purchase helps someone in need. My only gripe is the cost — they’re really expensive for basics, especially when buying for a whole family.

  • I love the mission statement of the brand first and foremost. For each pair that is bought, they donate a pair to homeless shelters. Each pair feels very high-quality and I love to give it to friends and family during the holidays because it’s a really great product and very high-quality.

  • I hate wearing sock, but love my Bombas ankle socks. They are comfortable without feeling bulky, and they hit at just the right place with sneakers. They are also cute with clogs or just about anything.

  • I started out skeptical and assumed this was just another mediocre quality but heavily marketed item with influencers. But after trying my pairs for the past month, I can confirm they are quite comfortable and solid quality. I haven't tried the hiking or athletic selections yet, but for everyday wear, the standard ones work just fine! I am in between sizes and sized up based on their recommendation and I'm glad I did! I have also heard lots of good reviews on customer service and luckily haven't had to reach out yet, but sounds like they do stand on their guarantees and will replace socks with holes and even missing socks lost to the washing machine!

  • High quality socks, never thought I could/would really review a pair of socks but here we are. They're comfy, fit well, and are made of a good material. Plus their donate a sock thing is pretty swell too.

  • Love the mission so much! They are comfortable and work well overall but I find the socks wear a little faster than I expected they would for the pricepoint. I have a few pairs with holes which I believe they'll fix but I haven't really gotten around to it.

  • Hands down the best baby socks I have ever tried and they actually stay on my baby’s (now toddler) feet! The quality is great and I like the brand’s mission too give back (donating a pair of socks for every one sold). Will definitely order again, and for myself next time 🙂.

  • SO. COMFORTABLE. I have two pairs of Bombas socks, and I'm asking for them for Christmas from everyone I know. The helix pattern provides some well needed arch support, and they don't stretch or lose shape like other socks. I highly recommend!!

  • These socks are really comfy but sooooooo ugly :( I feel like they should make some plain color ways. No one sells a regular sock anymore, it’s a shame. Everything needs to have some strange pattern or weird cut. Whatever, it’s just a sock but that’s my review.

  • I love these compression socks, I can't travel without these anymore! My feet used to get so swollen and feel tired after a flight, and after using these, I no longer feel that way. The quality is super high quality, and they're not too compressive or warm to use.

  • Absolutely love my bombas socks! I have almost every variation of them and I always tend to grab these the most. They last the longest for me and rarely get holes in the bottom. The compression socks are great for travel and long haul flights.

  • I think that these socks are just okay. I have liked other ones that have more cushion support a lot more. The ones I have also run very small and are not the most comfortable for a long run. I wear them around the house.

  • This review hurts to write, but as an early adopter of Bombas, I am heartbroken by the decrease in quality over the years. I own bombas socks that are several years old that are in better shape than newer socks I have purchased in the last 3 months... At first, I thought it was the sock type I was purchasing, but regardless of sock material type (athletic, original, merino wool blend) my socks get rips or holes quite quickly, that do not justify the cost any longer. This does not seem to hold for the gripper slipper, the quality on the slipper has remained fairly good and I have not seen a decline in quality (yet). Bonus points were given for having larger sizes available in socks. Pictured are the wool blend socks that are already pilling and thinning after 2 months of twice weekly wear. I have a different brand of wool socks that are 2 years old that are in better condition :(

  • Amazingly warm and very soft. Ordered the three pack and want to order more as soon as possible. Very comfortable and fit well. Don’t slide down while wearing them and look nice with different shoes such as loafers, etc. I like that they don’t have the typical bomb as branding so I can wear them with a more open shoe and have a plain sock.
