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 have had the Bombas slipper socks for AT LEAST 2 years now and wear them (on rotation) almost daily. They are SO comfortable, so durable, the grip on the bottom actually grips the floor, they don’t develop any stink, and I love that I can just throw them in the washer and dryer. Super easy to take care of!

  • I wear Bombas merino running socks almost exclusively to workout and run in. They're breathable and super comfy. Get yourself a pair if you don't have them.

  • Amazingly comfortable socks. They have outlasted all the other socks that I have bought and are still as comfortable as day 1.

  • I hate that i love these. They’re worth the hype. They are expensive, but they wear well and seem to last - I’ve had a variety of pairs for a couple years and there are no holes to be seen. They feel supportive through the arches and it’s nice that they come in so many color ways and rises.

  • Bombas socks are amazing. I can vouch for it since I own a pair and may have "borrowed" another from my mom's stash. wink They're super comfortable and prevent chafing at the back of the foot.

  • 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.
