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 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

    Feedback

    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?

    Feedback

    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.

    At this point, I would say ~80% of the socks I own are from Bombas. They’re extremely comfortable, abc I especially love the ankle ones for when I’m being active (running, playing tennis, etc.) My only complaint would be for the non-performance socks - I do find that they tend to wear out on the quicker side.

  • These are hands down the best socks ever! I wanted to try them as soon as they were on Shark Tank. It has been a few years and I pretty much only have and wear these. They are comfortable but also do not slip. I even bought them for my stepson when he was younger and they were the only socks that he did not have to flip them inside out due to the traditional seam to wear them. I want to try their clothing! The sizing on the inside back heel helps with sorting for laundry too.

    I wish there was a way to be able to know the thickness of the socks. I have a few pairs that are a bit thicker and I love those the most. However, I have no idea which ones they are on the website!

  • 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.

  • 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.
