  • Plush cushioning comfort

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.

  • Como pisar nos céus. Confortável, não escorrega, macia, além de deixar os pés respirar. Ótima para os treinos de cross aonde tem bastante serventia para quem gosta de fazer exercício sem tênis.

  • super compressed and great running socks! also love the cute colorful design and the fact that they’re still doing buy one donate one! its a bit expensive but still really high quality so worth in that sense

  • I have been buying Bombas for five years. The quality has definitely declined, because I have socks that are five years old that I have worn every single day that are just now starting to get holes in them. New pairs that I bought last year or this year have already started to get holes in them. They are still reliable and very comfortable.

  • I have worn these socks for a while, and they really are some of the best no-show socks. They stay on your feet and don't slide down the back of your feet like a lot of them do. They are good quality and stay on - which is key.

  • These socks are the BEST! The compression about the sole of the foot is so comfortable. I also love behind the heal that there is extra cushion, this is great to prevent any blisters when on long walks or runs! I received these as a gift in my Christmas stocking, and I hope to get more in the stocking this year! Truly nothing I wish was better, these are amazing and worth the money!

  • These are the only socks I wear to the gym. They are so comfortable and are great for moisture-wicking. I have them in many different colors. I love how they conform to your feet yet don’t feel too tight!

  • Bombas are the bomb! My entire family loves the comfort, durability, and social message of the Bombas brand and are one hundred percent committed to these socks. The one-for-one donation fully aligns with our family’s desire to do good things for others while investing in quality products.

  • I love this brand, gives back and shares a pair of socks to those that are in need however, their recent practices of happiness guarantees have become more and more difficult to utilize so when you lose a soft or soft holes, you’re not always able to return them like the happiness guarantee and that makes it difficult. I do, however, still use them and have dozens of pairs, but they are no longer my favorite brand of sauce. They do also seem to get holes in them often and when I say that I mean more often than before.

  • These are worth the hype. I didn’t think I could get emotional about socks, and yet here we are. Bombas are insanely comfortable—cushiony without being bulky, and they somehow stay put all day. No sliding, no bunching, no weird seams that dig into your toes. I’ve worn them for long walks, workouts, errands, you name it. Bonus: for every pair you buy, they donate a pair to someone in need. High quality, good mission, happy feet.

  • My favorite socks. Great for all my needs - running, spinning, going for a walk or hike. I love the cushioning. My daughter will only wear bombas for her narrow feet. The ankle height socks are best for me.

  • I really love these socks. They are comfortable and they last a long time regardless of the abuse I put them through. The only complaint I have is after they're washed a few times, they get smaller and smaller. Regardless, I love the fit and how they feel on my high arches.

  • I’ve tried a lot of no-show socks, and most either slip off, bunch up, or feel paper-thin. Bombas cushioned no-show socks are the first ones that actually stay put and feel good all day. The silicone grip on the heel actually works. I never have to stop and adjust them mid-walk.

  • I'm IN LOVE with Bombas Socks! I've been working hard to eliminate all other socks from my sock drawer. I have a LOT of Bombas and never plan on stopping! The athletic Bombas are amazing for cardio day!

  • I absolutely love my Bombas socks! I buy them as gifts for friends and family and I wear mine almost every single day. I love their mission and I find the quality of their socks to be amazing. I'll continue to support them!

  • I received my first pair of Bombas as a gift from Birchbox for referring another subscriber. That was probably 10 years ago. I have had many pairs since as well as a pair of slippers. I like their creative designs and I like their mission. My issue is they tend to wear out at the heel quickly. I have two pair right now (one from a GQ box and the other from a Cotopaxi collab) and I’m not banking on having either by this time next year. The price point relative to the shelf life is something they really need to work on.

  • Got the merino wool ones as a gift. Pretty basic. Didn't feel as soft and luxurious as my other merino wool socks. Turns out they're only 73% merino wool - rest is polyester.

  • I got some new BOMBAS socks recently. I love this brand so much! I buy their black socks over and over! They were a great company and the thing I love best is that they donate a pair of socks to someone in need for every pair sold!!!!

  • I wear size 38. (EU) and ordered a size M. itfits perfectly! I’ve been hunting for compression socks that don’t go all the way to the knee since I need something comfortable to wear daily while sitting for long hours. These Bombas socks are perfect for that. Way better than the usual compression socks I’ve picked up at the drugstore, which are good for flights or medical use but really uncomfortable for everyday wear. The website was easy to use, but honestly, it’s a bit pricey for one pair of socks. I would have bought more if they had bundle deals. Delivery was on the slow side, around 7 days, but since it wasn’t urgent, I didn’t mind too much. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)

  • expensive socks but worth it - super plush and last forever. the tab at the back helps prevent any slipping in your shoes and they wash great as well (though they sometimes need a second go on the dryer cycle)

  • Once you switch to Bombas socks, it’s hard to go back to anything else. They’re thick in the best way, hug your foot just right, and they last forever. Worth the drawer upgrade.
