Bombas reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Plush cushioning comfort
  • Secure no-show grip
  • Supportive arch compression
  • Breathable performance fabrics
  • Inconsistent fabric durability
  • Tight calf compression
  • Thick knit heat buildup
  • Sizing inconsistency across styles

Bombas delivers notably comfortable, supportive socks that many reviews call their daily go-to—no-show styles stay put, performance and running pairs cushion without bulk, and kids’ grippy socks impress—yet durability is inconsistent, with multiple reports of holes, pilling, and shrinkage. Reviews on Bombas also praise breathable materials, arch-hugging fit, and the brand’s donation model, while flagging product-inherent drawbacks like thick fabrics feeling too warm or tight on wide calves, variable sizing between styles, and a price that feels steep for socks.

  • 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)

  • Bombas are some of the most cushioned and comfortable socks I've ever worn. I had heard recommendations of them previously and I have to admit they're worth the hype. They're also a comfortable length and don't sink below my ankle/into my shoes.

  • 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.

  • I really enjoy how thick and cozy the socks are. The one issue I have is the heel part when wearing tennis shoes. It always bunches up outside the back of the shoe and I have to shove them back in. I bought my size but they might just be too big. I would still buy them again but just try a smaller size next time to see if that fixes the issue I am having.

  • I bought one pair of ankle Bombas. They are very soft and on the thicker side. So far I have worn them and washed them several times and they have not stretched out and are in the same shape as when purchased. They are true to size. Love their Mission, One Purchased = One Donated. They also have a 100% Happiness Guarantee. I haven't seen any other company have a guarantee like this. You can't lose to try these great socks. I recommend.

  • 10/10 my favorite socks. I have both the wool and cotton versions in no-show, ankle, and tube sock lengths. My mom got me these as stocking stuffers for the past few years at Christmas and I’m always so excited to get a new pair. Unfortunately for her, she seems to wear through them very quickly and get holes in the bottom but it’s never been an issue for me.

  • Really great quality socks with a great mission behind the brand. Socks are comfy and plush while looking great. Although they are expensive, the quality and mission are worth it! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

  • One of the most compelling things about Bombas is their mission: for every item purchased, they donate an item to someone affected by homelessness. Supporting a company that prioritizes social impact makes each purchase feel more meaningful. The Infrastructure of Giving they have created is really amazing!! You can read more about it here: https://beebetter.bombas.com/impact. Beyond the mission, Bombas also puts a lot of thought into the design and construction of their products. Order Details - Lightweight No Show Socks – Beige - Lightweight No Show Socks – Tan - Lightweight Athletic Ankle Socks – White - Solid Ankle Socks – Dusty Steel - Scallop Cuff Quarter Socks – White Lavender - Ruffle Rib Quarter Socks – White - Modern Rib Quarter Socks – Warm Ecru These high-quality, thoughtfully designed socks are incredibly comfortable! The Lightweight No Show Socks feature a silicone heel grip that really stays in place (no slipping even after a full day of walking in the city!). As someone who wears socks year-round, I love how versatile and breathable this style is for any occasion. I also picked up the Lightweight Athletic Ankle Socks to wear with my Hokas. Since Hokas already have substantial cushioning, I prefer a lighter sock so these are perfect if you're looking for something that won’t add extra bulk. Lastly, the Quarter Socks with their subtle scallop and ruffle details bring just the right amount of fun to any outfit without sacrificing comfort. They offer a wide range of fun colors, but I chose neutral tones to keep my outfits more versatile and functional. Overall, Bombas delivers on both style and comfort and knowing each purchase supports someone in need makes it all the more worth it! Buying socks for myself as an adult is one of those simple joys that adds a little extra bounce and spark to my step!

  • Only have one pair right now but I love them. Well made, durable and love the brand’s mission

    Feedback

    Pricey for socks, but worth the money. Will definitely plan to purchase more.

  • I’ve known about Bombas for a long time and have tried on friends’ socks, but this was my first order. When my package went poof (mail issue? package thieves? who’s to say) I emailed customer service and they got back to me within hours to make it right. I chose to simply have a new package shipped, but was also offered store credit in excess of my price or a full refund! They even tacked on expedited shipping for the replacement. Absolutely top notch service and a company I’d be willing to go back to time and time again. The socks themselves are so comfortable, and their collaborations are perfect. No plastic other than the mailer bag, so none of those annoying fasteners to dig out of the socks. I’m kind of obsessed.

  • Honestly I was doubtful that I would love these as they are pretty pricy for socks. But I got their black quarter socks as a gift and they are actually amazing. the perfect length for wearing with sneaker and they feel soft and plush.

  • If you’re tired of thin, scratchy socks that leave your feet cold and sad, do yourself a favor and grab a pair (or three). Total game changer for cozy season. They are thick, supportive, and great for any activity.

  • I have a few different types of their socks and some are better than others. The fuzzy socks are great and superrrr soft and comfy. The standard high socks are great for boots. But some of the higher ones I also find to be way too tight on the calves and not very comfortable. Their rubber slides though are really comfy and so easy to slip on for everyday wear or the beach/pool summer etc!

  • I am obsessed with this brand because their customer service cannot be beat. Their socks are cute, and while they don’t always last more than a few seasons, the customer service/exchange policy makes them worth it.

  • I wasn't really sure about Bombas socks at the first but after trying them out I think I really liked them. Yes they are kinda pricey but the quality is making them worth it. I think they will make great gifts during holiday seasons.

  • Bombas are the only socks I have worn for years! They are so comfortable and soft I have tried other brands but I always come back to these. They are a bit pricey but think they are worth it. Like the different patterns too.

  • Great socks with a great look, my boyfriend introduced me to thus brand after wearing bombas for a long time. Their customer service is great! Love their quality.

  • I'm obsessed with my Bombas. I have quite a few pairs of their socks now and typically use them for my workouts. They are fun colors and the fit couldn't be better. I love wearing socks in general but nothing drives me crazier than when they get loose and fall off of your feet. The company also provides a pair to those in need with each pair sold - I am always a fan of corporations giving back!

  • These are my favorite socks I’ve ever owned. They are snug, thick, comfortable, and last about 2 years! I absolutely love their mission and the color options as well. One of my favorite gifts to buy anyone!

  • So, so comfortable. I love the way these socks feel, but they wear and get holes really quickly. I got one of the multipacks about 6 months ago and have stitched the toes in my favorite pair 3 times (not something I usually do to my socks but I don't want to give these things up) but they keep sprouting new holes in new places and are completely thread-bare in the heel at this point. I've mentioned this to a couple of friends (when you're over 30, socks become a topic of conversation) and they've found the same thing with Bombas. Such a bummer because they really are comfy, but I'm probably not buying again.
