Bombas reviews and discussion

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.

  • These are the only socks I buy now

    Feedback

    Wish the price was a little lower. As much as I love the socks the price is still a bit high (by maybe $5-$10) for a pack.

  • Very comfortable socks, high quality, and the brand mission is great!

    Feedback

    Our toddler size socks began piling rather quickly. Still wearable though and my son loves them!

  • Comfiest socks EVER. Soft, warm, and durable.

    Feedback

    My oldest pair (1 year) got a hole in it a few weeks ago BUT I have worn the heck out of them, so I feel like I got my money's worth. All socks get holes eventually.

  • I ordered several packs of socks in different varieties for my whole family for Christmas presents last year, and when the parcel was stolen, Bombas's happiness guarantee replaced everything — no questions asked!

    Feedback

    My dad loves the merino wool socks, and while I've gotten extremely good use out of their ankle socks made with a great thick fabric, after a year or so, the fabric wears extremely thin on the heels and sometimes results in blisters or holes in the socks.

  • They are socks! They are nice cotton socks.

    Feedback

    They're also no better than other premium socks and the cotton tends to get out of shape after wearing all day.

  • Um, they are socks. Bombas has great marketing. I FINALLY purchased a few pride pairs, and I was expecting a miracle. They are socks. Just plain socks. No sock should cost what Bombas cost. I do like their return policy and guarantee. They go above and beyond for that.

    Feedback

    They are way too expensive. You are selling socks. I'd prefer a pack of pumas at Costco for $12, because there is no difference.

  • Great mission, but honestly, they're just regular socks. I've purchased several pairs and they're not different from any other socks I own.

  • I really wanted to love my Bombas but I've placed a couple orders and within a couple months each pair had holes in them :( They are comfy and I loved the look of the no-shows but so many holes! Reading other reviews, I'm going to try Bombas one more time but was really annoyed with so many holes in my socks.

  • Love the brand's mission. And I like their "standard" sock - feels cushy and good quality, at least in the beginning. I did wear through the socks faster than I thought I would, particularly in the heel. However I have not had good experiences with their lightweight socks, I've found the elastic wears out really fast and they slip down all the time - especially the ankle style. But the customer service is on point.

    Feedback

    The lightweight socks are noticeably different (read, lesser) quality, and they are slower on the restock than you'd expect.

  • I actually received Bombas as a gift YEARS ago but they quickly have become my go-to for socks. My OG pair are still kicking and they are the PERFECT athletic socks. Totally breathable and just enough comfy cushion. Highly recommend!

  • I had borrowed a pair of my friends bombas before, I liked them but they were very sporty for every day needs. I bought a pair of the cutest heart design socks through Thingtesting and love them. Much thinner and great for everyday use. Hoping they last a long time but love them right now :)

  • These socks are comfortable! My son has been using them and he really likes them . They fit well. Also the company is great that it donates socks to those in need! What a great company! I got mine on amazon but they are sold in many places now

  • Love these socks!!! It's difficult to find a pair of high-quality ankle socks, yet bombas hit the mark. I love the social mission and feel good about purchasing. They are more expensive than comparable socks, but the quality can't be beat.

  • Bombas gripper slippers are excellent. They are comfy, easy to wash, and fit pretty much everyone- which is why I’ve gifted quite a few pairs to family meme bees! Great company, great product, and so far (1+ years) the slippers have held up well to washing and wearing.

  • Such good quality socks that feel good on my feet and come in fun colors. They are also the perfect gift for friends — I got my three girl friends a pair for Christmas and they love theirs! Great for running in too.

  • Really nice customer service and product quality. A little expensive and I wish everything wasn't so branded. The socks do seem to hold up for a long time and they make a great gift for husbands, dads, and everyone.

  • Ughhhhh listen I did not want to like them when so many people LOVEEEEEE them but I bought as Christmas gifts for my kids and husband, and one pair for myself and they are - SPECTACULAR. My girls got the Wicked socks and are obsessed. I need more. Converted. Great product.

  • I bought their 3-pack bow socks and they're incredibly high quality-- the bows have stayed put throughout several rounds in the washer/dryer, and the color options are fantastic too. And although the socks don't feel like 100% cotton (not sure on the material makeup), my feet feel great and well wicked throughout the day. I want to replace all my socks with them.

  • I received a pair of socks as a gift and I absolutely love them. They were mids and were great when I would wear boots.
