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 love my Bombas merino socks in the winter: comfortable, great construction quality, nice merino fiber, and they've been durable over multiple winter seasons. I would appreciate more options without a giant Bombas logo across the toe, but realize that branding is a common industry practice.

  • This may be niche, but I LOVE their compression stocks. Being in healthcare requires being on your feet all day, and the compression socks are a godsend! I also use them on long flights, and I definitely have found them to be magic in warding away all of the bloat.

  • Love these socks. Nice thick cushion, cute colors and patterns. I only own the higher type ones, but would purchase the ankle socks. With a ton of wear, no holes, over-stretching, nothing!

  • Best socks in the world. The no shows are actually no shows and don't slip which is my #1 requirement. I also love their give back mission. Win Win.

  • Got these for my oldest daughter, she loves them so much! Great quality & colors!!

  • The best socks. I have tried all different versions of these and love every one. They keep their shape and last forever

  • Love their mission of one purchased one donated !! Been a fan of their products since seeing them on Shark Tank. Price is higher but the quality justifies it.

  • Love my Bombas socks, but I do feel like quality has declined. My pairs from 2016 are in MUCH better shape compared to pairs I got in 2020 (less fading, no loose threads, just seem more durable). I still purchase because I love the unique colors, patterns, and lengths offered and––even though it's reflected in the price––they feel considerably better than generic socks.

  • If you have kids or a hubby who blows throw socks because the heels wear out then Bombas to the rescue. Amazing quality and last way longer then your typical socks.

  • The high socks are absolutely incredible but the ankle socks leave a little to be desired. I recommend getting the calf length ones

  • No grip socks didn't hold up shape or color after a few months of daily wear. Very comfortable for the first month.

  • I really did not love these socks. I love the social mission but they pill super easily and catch hair. I feel like this is not worth the price.

  • I love bombas socks, I have a variety of styles from everyday wear to working out. I only wish they either offered a takeback program or a way to have them repaired because when they get holes, there isn't a great end-of-life option.

  • I’ve purchase many pairs of BOMBAS over the last several years. Extremely comfortable, affordable and great for both work/exercise.

  • Pretty good quality overall and impressive that the toe part hasn’t worn out in any of my pairs. However, I wear them for work and wear Crocs (the work ones) that have little nubs inside. For whatever reason that seems to wear holes in the heels as they aren’t as thick as the toes. I love that they donate a pair for each pair bought too. That alone makes them worth the money. Also, I tried a pair of their underwear a few years ago that ended up being really uncomfortable and they handled that issue quickly with a refund, which I hated to have to complain but the undies didn’t fit me well and weren’t love. I don’t know if that’s the norm for them. I only bought one pair to try though.

  • These make my feet feel like they are being hugged. Sort of like a yoga pant, for your foot.

  • Sized a bit too big for me but my husband loves them! His are the thicker ones and have endured many wears and washes. They do start developing holes after a while, but that's to be expected with everyday wear and frequent washing. I wear size 6 shoes and their smallest size is still too large for me. Their Eric Carle collaboration was super fun and we got the kids size for our child, but they were even too large for me!
