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've only owned a handful of pairs of Bombas socks, but they were consistently the most comfortable sock in my sock drawer and the one I always grabbed first.

  • Great mission and great quality. I increasingly find myself only wanting to wear my Bombas. The quality improved over the years since I helped launch them on The Grommet.

    More knee high socks for those of us who go old school in cold weather.

  • Love my Bombas! Super comfy, great mission, loads of fun designs

    I love my Bombas, I don’t have any gripes :)

  • Bought a couple pairs of the high compression socks for my Mom, who's a nurse working 12+ hours day on her feet. She had previously been wearing think compression socks, but the thickness of the bombas definitely seemed to last longer and were worth the investment! She loves them. <3

    Feedback

    bit pricier, but again, very much worth the investment!

  • This is specifically about the slippers – our whole family is obsesed with them. My toddler never takes them off, and her favorite activity is to take her shoes and socks off. The socks are way too expensive. I have a few that have holes in them.

    Pricing.

  • Very comfortable socks! Great color choices and good quality. I have washed mine many times and they have held up well.

    Some color combinations are listed for a specific gender even though they are gender-neutral (example: red, green, yellow, blue).

  • I really love Bombas socks! I own a handful of the performance merino ones and they're super soft, great for working out, and not too thick that it'll make you sweat.

    Feedback

    I also have their no-show socks which aren't as great. They're really thin, and after some washes, you can start to see through to the skin. Still OK but not my favorite no-show socks.

  • Great fit and comfort. Fun colors! Amazing company mission

    Feedback

    A bit expensive

  • they stay put, very high quality. Last - most socks wear out quickly, not these. A good variety of colors and options

    Feedback

    nothing - a little expensive, but a great mission

  • Love this company and their socks! Products are high quality, reasonably priced, fun colors/patterns, plus a pair is donated with every purchase.

    Struggle with the thicker no-show socks bunching up

  • My favorite no-show socks! And yes, the "most comfortable in the history of feet."

  • Honestly, so comfortable and cute. The tab in the back prevents blisters and they work with all of my shoe styles.

  • Honestly, I love them. I borrowed a pair from a friend (clean I promise) and never gave them back. They are truly extraordinary.

  • Before Bombas, I only bought cheap ankle socks because I figured that socks weren't made to last long anyway. These things last through wears and washes - making me feel better about spending the amount I did on socks. The fun colors also make me feel less awkward about mix and matching sometimes (esp if I had to finally throw out a sock that maybe finally formed a hole). Their laundry-back guarantee felt like a gimmick but I decided to email in when I did indeed lose a single sock somewhere along the way. They actually sent a replacement pair which was so nice!

  • With a mom who loves giving fun socks as gifts, I’m never in short supply. I first heard of Bombas from a roommate who raved about them and decided to give them a try… absolutely sold! I’ve told my mom to stop buying me socks because I want to wear them out so I can invest in more Bombas! Cushy, they wash and wear better than any other brand in my drawer, and are my go-to travel socks.

  • I purchased slippers for myself and my kids for those cold winter days. I love how comfortable they feel, and don't make my feet sweaty! The customer service is great, and I love the company's mission on providing a pair of socks to those in need.

  • These clothing items are so so comfy, and I love their project of giving back! All brands with the sustainability practice have a thumbs up from me!

  • I see Bombas advertisements everywhere and assumed they were overrated but I now own four pair and really like them. They are expensive but I think spending money on good socks that last is worth it. I have a mix of styles (but haven't tried the athletic socks) and I like them all - cushiony without being too thick, elasticized so they don't bunch, etc. The only drawback is the cashmere socks - they come in fun colors but pill really easy, which I guess should be expected with cashemere socks.

  • At first I thought these were going to be plain old socks at a premium price. But not so. They feel like luxury gloves on your feet and they wash extremely well. They last a long time and feel so good in any shoe. Nice that they donate to the homeless, but they really aren't donating. YOU are because their socks cost twice as much as a normal pair. But whatever! Still the homeless are helped which is a plus.

  • Bombas socks are super comfortable and really well-made! They have a great fit, stay in place, and the cushioning is perfect for all-day wear. Plus, it’s awesome that every purchase donates a pair to someone in need!
