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.

  • I tried Bombas for the first time based on good word-of-mouth, from friends and family. The price is high however the quality is there and the brands mission/promise of donation with every purchase helps justify it. I would recommend -I've tried their socks for running/athletics crew as well as high. I do wish they had some more options for minimal patterns/designs/colors however. I also enjoy that you can be more exact on sizing, vs standard cheaper brands where they lump 5 sizes into one category (S,M,L).

  • These are great for everyday use. When I run with them I find that they rub a little more than I would like and aren't super breathable. But I adore their compression sock line. As a healthcare worker, I find them extremely comfy for long 12 hour shifts and my legs don't itch after taking them off.

  • I have a few pairs of bombas. They are quality-made socks. I like the elasticy banded part in the middle -- it leads to a snug fit that is also comfortable. I also personally like buying from brands that have some values and a mission - they give back to others making me feel a bit better about purchasing. I'd recommend these socks for athletics -- running, biking, etc.

  • These are great! I love that the company donates a pair of socks to a person experiencing homelessness for every pair that they sell. They are very thick socks and great quality. The kids designs are really cute too!

  • The comfiest socks ever. I like that they are no slip and have good coverage on the feet. I also like their tall socks because they are so warm when the cold is biting at ya!

  • I have a thing about socks and I love Bombas. They stay in place, are comfortable, and feel luxurious.

  • THE BEST SOCKS I have loved every pair I've had, and want to buy more! have not worked with their customer service yet but have heard excellent things from friends, and definitely plan to continue to wear bombas

  • I love all my bombas. I replaced all of my socks with bombas many years ago and have never looked back. I’ve found that many sock brands are “one size fits all” but don’t really fit my size 7 feet at all. Bombas has different sizes so you can get a great fit!

  • Great socks! Very well made! Company mission makes you want to shop with Bombas. I wish they were a bit more inexpensive, that is the only downside.

  • Bombas is now the only brand I go to for my socks and undies. I love their value of customer service and willingness to replace lost or damaged products.

  • Bombas are comfy and they last. Almost all of my socks get holes in the toes and heels. I appreciate that my bombas have held up. I give them 4 stars because I wish they were all natural materials. I'm not a fan of synthetics.

  • They are so comfy! I always wear them. Even when it’s hot outside lol and I really recommend this beautiful brand. Very comfortable!!

  • I love the thin and the thicker cotton low-cut socks. The non slip heel backs are a game changer! These wash well and are super comfortable.

  • Great socks. Great cause. They last a good long time and they give back to those in need. I've bought Bombas for gifts and people love them.

  • Super comfortable for everyday activities but also for hiking or working out. I personally love the subtle colors. After wearing them regularly over 2 years, the quality remains unchanged as long as they are not put in the dryer.

  • I love bombs. They’re a great sock. They’re very thick

  • Bombas has some great qualities, but it could improve in a few areas. Expanding their product range to include more options for different climates or activities would be helpful, like more lightweight socks for warmer weather. Additionally, offering bulk purchasing options or discounts for loyal customers could enhance the shopping experience. Lastly, more transparency about the sourcing of materials would be a nice touch for eco-conscious consumers. Overall, though, they have a solid mission and great products!

  • Excellent product and worth buying again. I was satisfied with the quality, may even be better than what I normally purchase. I would definitely buy this again and will be trying the varieties offered.

  • I love bombas. They’re really high quality and they replace them if they break down!

  • Some of my favorite socks, super comfortable. Unfortunately they started to get holes in them quicker than I would’ve thought
