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 have been buying Bombas socks for years now. they are the only socks my husband and I will wear. I also love their tank tops!

    Feedback

    Great brand, great product, great mission.

  • These were the only socks my boys did not wear through immediately. And when they did, I contacted bombas and they sent me a new pair. Although very pricey, they held up so well. The only reason I give it a 4 is the price and the pairs I purchased for myself are very tight on my ankles (I have normal size ankles) and can be uncomfortable.

  • I first bought Bombas because they seemed to have some of the nicest / fullest "no show" socks in the market, but have since also bought ankle socks, running & athletic socks, and quarter-length socks from them. I find them soft and comfortable.

    Feedback

    The "no show" socks did get holes in the toes after only a year or two which seemed a bit fast. I'm sure it's a balance between thick enough to withstand wear and thin enough to be in the shoes that usually require no-shows which tend to be fairly snug, not like sneakers. But I wish for the price they would remain hole-free longer.

  • Love the fit and the cuts/style of Bombas socks. The mid length is great for the gym, the no-show are great for the summer and stay in place, and the extra support design is great for everywhere.

    Feedback

    The socks are great at first, but they wear out pretty quickly and lose shape/softness. Overall I just wish they would last longer, especially since they're a premium price for a daily essential.

  • I purchased about 10 pairs last year from Bombas website. I have been looking for no show socks for a long time, and these were highly recommended online. When I got them, I loved them at first, but consistently wore out the toes and heels in every pair. At first, I contacted customer support with photos to take advantage of the warranty, however, the quality issues existed in every pair that I had (even the ones that came as replacement, so it wasn't just a bad batch) and eventually it was too tiring to continue wearing these.

    Feedback

    The quality was not so good and the socks I had constantly developed holes.

  • Nice thick sock that felt great however developed a hole in the toe in a few months.

  • Nice socks, but definitely just socks. Very pricy. Would add to the category "something nice that I wouldn't buy myself but would happily give to others or be thrilled to get"

  • Great socks, better mission! I have had a few pairs for 5+ years which has out lived any of my other socks. Worth the price.

  • Such great socks! I am loyal to Bombas and one other brand exclusively. They are so comfy and love the thickness of them. Also, the mission behind the company is just amazing.

    Feedback

    Wish they weren't as expensive.

  • The only socks worth wearing. Yes the price tag is high but they're so comfortable that it is worth it. Just buy a bulk pack and you won't regret it.

  • The most comfortable socks I own. Great selection and great cause.

    Feedback

    Nothing

  • The socks are super comfy, thick, and soft, which is great. However, despite that I love the mission, I don't really understand the need to charge $60 for 4 pairs of socks, even when donating items to those in need. Your money would go a lot further by buying a 4 pack of socks for $12 and donating the other $48 directly to a mutual aid fund. Keep in mind this is still a business run by capitalists (like Daymond John) and they want to get rich off of your purchase.

    Feedback

    Give people more for what they pay for. I understand if you want to keep prices high to be able to mass produce more for those in need, but the company clearly can afford to give more, whether that means including more items in your order when you pay that much money, or giving double the amount to those in need when you make a purchase.

  • Great quality socks with a mission, acquired these through a school fundraiser. The designs are fun!

  • I will never not love (and highly recommend) Bombas. Before I tried Bombas, I had no strong feelings about socks. After buying a pair on a whim- and subsequently being gifted a pack of six after raving about how much I loved my one pair- I will forever wear Bombas, and only Bombas. Not only are their socks ridiculously comfortable AND good looking but their customer service is top notch. I had an issue with two separate pairs of socks developing holes in the big toe after only about a year of wear. I sent an email to their "happiness team" and was told to choose two replacement pairs! I've never been so happy with the customer service provided by a company. 1000% recommend.

  • I had no clue the difference a "fancy" sock would make in my life but here I am and I absolutely love they way these feel and wear. Wash after wash they still look great and feel wonderful. Also, they have a great side mission.

    Feedback

    Cost is higher but the product is worth it.

  • The mission of this brand is fantastic and what they do is great. The product is high quality and I haven't had any issues, keeps my feet very warm and I wear them all winter long.

    Feedback

    I have a hard time finding socks that are not incredibly thick, I wish their was something on the website so I could figure out if I've bought thick socks for winter or summer socks

  • I've only ever been gifted Bombas socks, but I really love the high quality and fit!

    Feedback

    More inclusive sizing, a woman's 5 is very small compared to a women's 10.

  • They’re socks! They’re alright! The price doesn’t make sense cuz they’re still just socks
