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 really like these socks and they didn't slip at all even when working out, but I don't think I can justify buying another pair for $20.

  • I’m very particular about socks, the texture, the fit at the heel, the seam along the toes, etc and I love my bombas! I also want to support companies that support their community - so this is a winner for me!

  • I want to love these socks (they are super comfortable!) but have gotten holes in every pair I've owned, with one pair arriving with a hole already present. They have a great mission but I've had back luck with the product's longevity.

  • I've gotten the ankle socks and mid length socks and wear them a lot! They're pretty warm and durable, I've had them for a year and have yet to see a hole or fraying.

    Feedback

    The one gripe I have is that the ankle socks slip after I wear them for a while. So if that annoys you I'd get the longer socks or a different brand.

  • I like Bombas' socks designs and colors. The material is also nice, but I don't find them stretchy enough and can get tight on my legs during the day. The shipping was really fast and the packaging is lovely.

    Feedback

    I was expecting a softer material and a wider design (or at least more stretchy). Other than helping people living in homelessness I might not buy their products again.

  • The socks are the best socks that you will ever have in your entire life. They hold up to a lot of abuse, and are very comfortable for outdoor activities.

  • I love my bombas! I have a sock for pretty much every occasion from them and my friends love them too!

  • I was gifted Bombas socks for Christmas and I couldn't be more excited. These socks are amazing and I absolutely love them. I like to run outdoors a lot and these are my favorite socks for long-distance runs. The extra padding and cushions make them super comfortable and help reduce tension, especially if you're doing any high-impact activities. Even just to shuffle around the house, their socks are so comfortable and cozy.

    One feature I specifically love about Bombas socks is the cushion behind the heel and ankle. Wearing these socks is like upgrading any pair of shoes you own, especially because of ankle cushion. The next time you have to break in a pair of shoes, throw these socks on, and you're good to go.

  • Bombas socks are my absolute favorite gift to give and receive. The quality is beyond (the first time you get a pair you'll see what I mean -- these will last forever), and the color combinations are so fun. The company's mission (every pair purchased = one pair donated) is what will keep me a customer for life!

  • I don't want to love Bombas, but I love my Bombas! I have a lot of short/athletic pairs, and one tall pair that is a super fun pattern!

  • Genuinely love these- favorite brand that I purchase over and over again. I primarily purchase the short running socks which have support around the arch and extra cushion to avoid heel rub. Wear, wash and repeat- these provide long wear life and don’t shrink!

  • I LOVE these socks. They are all I own. Their no show socks work better than any other brand that I've tried as they are the only ones that stay on my feet when I walk. And I love their mission.

  • These are my absolute favorite socks! I have sensitive feet and I generally have issues with almost all types of socks. Not this one. I have walked miles in them and they have saved my feet from pain/soreness from rubbing. Try them if you haven't already.

    Feedback

    These are expensive per pair/package. Try one, and if you like that one, get more.

  • I learned about Bombas through a family I nannied for. The whole fam had them... even the little baby. I got to see all of the fun colors and special edition socks they had like sesame street etc. I'm not that adventurous but I like to get tall black socks and tall white ones. They are so comfy and despise the moment when I run out and have to use my other branded socks. I recommend them 1000000 %

    Get these if you have feet!

  • I love these socks. They are so soft! I got the wool socks and they aren’t scratchy at all. They are snug, soft and very breathable. I’m never too hot. A little pricey but another great example of getting what you pay for.

    Feedback

    If your socks ever get a hole in them they will replace for free! Highly recommend you give these socks a chance.

  • I bought some Bombas socks for my dad last year, who is a tried and true Gold Toe sock wearer since the 80s probably. He tried these and said they were the most comfortable pair of socks he had ever tried. Great gift for dads who need to expand their sock game!

  • I love all my Bombas socks and they have lasted me a while!

    Feedback

    They're expensive but worth it - get the shapes and patterns you'd wear often :)

  • I got some Bombas nearly 6 years ago and they are still going strong. Amazing.

  • I never thought I'd have a preference for a sock brand but Bombas is it. I always hated how my no-show socks would slip off in my shoes, until I found Bombas. Their no-show socks have rubber grips along the back and sides of the sock to ensure a snug but secure grip on your foot. Never again has my sock slipped off in my shoe while walking.

  • The only no show socks that work!! These socks actually stay on and don’t immediately slip down

    I would recommend air drying the socks, frequent drying makes the elastic fail more quickly
