Reviews mention

  • Plush, supportive cushioning
  • Secure no‑show grip design
  • Breathable, sweat‑wicking knits
  • Thoughtful heel tab ergonomics
  • Inconsistent heel‑toe durability
  • Tight calf and ankle band
  • Noticeable shrinkage after washes
  • Too thick for narrow shoes

Bombas earns strong reviews for exceptionally comfortable, supportive socks that stay put—no-shows that don’t slip, cushioned running and hiking styles, and arch-hugging honeycomb knits impress. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some pairs shrink, run tight on wider feet/calves, feel thick in snug shoes, and durability can be inconsistent with heels/toes developing holes over months to a couple years. Many praise long wear and the one-pair-donated mission; others find them pricey for the longevity delivered. Overall, Bombas is good if you want plush comfort, grip, and fit; consider style and fit nuances if you prefer thinner or roomier socks.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    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.

  • I own a couple pairs of socks as well as the Gripper Slipper. Both items are comfortable and high quality! Originally, I ordered the wrong size of slipper and rather than sending me through a complicated exchange process, they simply sent me my actual size and let me keep the previous pair. Amazing customer service!

  • Amazing, comfortable, thick socks. I have worn these socks for around the house, traveling, and running and I just find them so comfy and durable.

    Feedback

    A little pricey, but they are thick and durable. They drop discounts occasionally on their email list.

  • These are my favorite socks - comfortable, thick, high quality... and somehow make my feet look nice?!

  • I hate wearing socks but if I have to, I pretty much only want to wear these. Their ankle Socks never slip down and they are Greg at for hiking. I love that they come in so many colors and patterns. But they are quite $$
