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.

  • Yes they’re expensive, but they are GREAT socks. They’re thick and comfortable and do a great job preventing blisters. If you use compressions socks, they make a great pair!

  • I LOVE MY BOMBAS. So much that I have 24 pairs of them. The cushioned no show socks are great for working out. Just note that you might have to size up on your shoes in order to accommodate the cushion. I’ve also bought the lightweight no show socks for everyday wear and running and around town. They are great with lifestyle sneakers. The no show socks have an elastic at the back keeps the socks from slipping off your feet. This is one of my biggest pet peeves about other no show socks. Although these socks are definitely a splurge, I think they are well worth the price. They last a long time, are made of quality materials and have an incredible mission. Every sock you buy means that a pair gets donated.

  • These were very comfortable. Unfortunately, they did not stay on your feet like they are advertised and slipped off my heels whenever I walked.

  • Fun design, comfortable socks. Good mission in how they donate a pair for every sock purchased. I really like the indoor slip on boots as well. Super comfortable and easy to slip on. Makes it great for home or small walks

  • I really want to give these 5-stars but the socks are just so expensive, even taking into consideration they are donating pairs for free for the needy. I bought these socks because I just started running and they have great seamless styles for runners. Just the right amount of cushiness, and I’ll be honest - I don’t wash these every time bc they are the only pair I have and I choose comfortable feet over smelliness every time. I’ll tone that down some- they don’t exactly smell after I wear them but just putting on a pair of socks not fresh out of the washing machine makes me feel a little ickier. Still worth it.

    Please make these cheaper. Some of us really love these but Jeez-Louise, they are pricey.

  • I really wish they had more inclusive sizing for their compression socks for those of us who have wide calves and work on our feet dealing with swelling because of long days. They are soft and cute, but limiting.

  • I was hesitant to try these socks because they are so expensive. That being said they give back to the homeless and that is a beautiful thing. I bought 6 pairs of socks and I absolutely love them. They are supportive, comfortable and durable. I love the non slip bottoms

    I know they are pricey, but they give back to a very good cause and these are quality socks. You won't regret it

  • These are high quality socks!! I find them great for running - theyre the kind of socks you WANT to keep as a pair

    I like the fabric and the colors. Even better than their short socks are their ski socks. Also, you have to love their mission statement!

  • The sock I’ve been looking for! Comfy, no show, non-slipping- who could ask for more?

    I know these are pricey for socks, but they are worth it. Truly a comfortable, no hassle sock.

  • At first glance I love these socks. They have good support, and although I would absolutely define it as a luxury sock, it does not seem to hold up to the test of time. After about ten washes I noticed how thin they get and their support is just not as strong.

  • These are my favorite socks of all time. The slightly tighter fit around the arch of the foot and extra cushion and tab towards the heel is so nice. I liked my ankle socks so much, I purchased compression socks for my days at the hospital, and I will never purchase another brand again! Their compression socks are just the right amount of compression and are nice and soft as well. I've tried other brands (Figs and Amazon) and the quality is just not as good as Bombas!

  • Best socks ever! They even replaced a pair when I lost one.

    Feedback

    These are by far my favorite socks. Super supportive and comfy.

  • The idea and quality are there, but the kid sizing is off for me. I bought the socks for my son who is 4. The foot size range is so great that there is way too much room in his toe area, and he complains. I have tried the thinner socks, and the thicker socks, but he won't wear them.

  • My Mom put Bombas socks in our stockings one Christmas and now they have made it to my list every year! They are great for daily wear, running, walking around the house and more. They have the perfect amount of support without being too thick. My new favorite pair of socks!

  • Love love love these socks. They don't get drunk ankles after a long period of time and are thick enough that Dr. Marten boots won't rub after wearing them for hours (if you know, you know).

  • Extremely comfortable, well made socks with cute patterns and has an amazing mission.

  • The thicker socks are great, but the thinner "no-show" socks developed holes disappointingly fast. Not sure I would repurchase unless on sale.

  • Received 4 pairs for Christmas in 2022. Two tall and two ankle. They have held up very well and provide nice compression on feet. I love that the ankle socks stay in place.

    The children's socks have a great warranty and have also held up well for a busy toddler. I'm not sure I would have purchased for myself based on the price, but after getting them definitely see the value and have purchased as gifts for family.

  • Bought a pair of wool socks from Bombas-- as a trial. Loved them. They hold up under NYC winter wear and use. As well as having very cute styles.

    The socks pil a bit-- but I would love to know how to care for them between wears. The socks are worth the money-- well designed, comfortable, and warm.
