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.

  • Bombas socks are my favorites out there. Thick, comfortable and cute. They hold up after so many washes / dries. One thing to be ready for is they shed a ton of lint in the first wear and wash, but after that they’re perfect.

  • Super comfortable and high quality socks for adults and kids. We received a gift box of baby socks for our son and I loved the packaging and they have held up really well, they are anti-slip, and they stay on his feet.

  • So soft and comfy - these make my feet so happy. The merino wool ankle socks are divine. Beautiful colors, and don’t get stretched out. I love that my purchase also allows someone in need to benefit too.

    Sesame Street socks need to come in ankle style. :) Also give up on the gendered colors/patterns. Colors are unisex.

  • I'm wild about Bombas! I love their mixed colors and supportive socks. They're so good, I hand-wash them.

    Feedback

    More single-color options. Some styles are too funky and wild.

  • Love these for myself and my kids! Great quality, last for a long time, and lots of fun colors and prints.

  • Love this product. So comfortable and washes really well.

    Nothing to complain about!

  • I am obsessed with these socks. They are such high quality, so comfortable and have incredible customer support. I only have the running socks right now, but I will probably be exclusively buying Bombas when I need new socks in the future.

    Nothing.

  • Bombas low socks are the only ones that stay put on my feet! Everything else slides off after walking around for awhile. I love these socks so much that my husband saw mine and wanted some for himself too. Great for working out in as well.

  • Whether wearing an anklet or mid-calf, these are great socks hands down. I do wish they didn't hold dirt as easily.

    Better cleaning instructions.

  • Super comfy, thick, and premium socks. I've ordered multiple times. They also are great as gifts!

    Feedback

    The quality after many washes seems to be an issue. The socks sometimes fray. I've heard that they have great customer service but I haven't tried to get in touch about this. I still use the socks every day and this issue does not prevent me from using them.

  • I purposefully choose these socks over every other brand I have in my drawer. Super comfortable, great for walking/working out. Awesome brand!

    Nothing!

  • I only get socks from Bombas now. While they are expensive (buy them in the packs), they are well worth the price. The socks are so comfortable, are great quality, and don’t move around on you. Plus, Bombas has a lifetime guarantee.

  • obsessed. So many options no matter what season, unbelievable comfort. Great customer service and great mission.

  • Bombas makes the best socks I have ever used. They are not only comfortable but they don't slip, the provide cushioning while doing whatever activity, and they (most importantly) don't make your feet hot and sweaty! It's an added bonus they give back to the community and when something doesn't fit right, they encourage donations. I have tried their slippers and they don't work for me (I have hard feet to fit) but I did give them to family and they love them. I've had the same original 5 pairs I purchased for over 3 years now and fresh from the wash they are like new. No shrinking or pilling. Top notch company!

  • Comfortable and a great price. Lots of options for print and colors.

  • I've had several pair of Bombas socks. Their heavy-weight socks are great and keep your feet cozy and warm. Great for winters in NYC or elsewhere. With that positive experience, I bought some of their No-show socks and was really disappointed. For how expensive they are, they wore out quickly with every pair eventually getting holes in the toe.

    Feedback

    Thinner socks of theirs aren't strong enough and get holes easily. For how much they cost, I think this is a huge downside and flaw. The heavier socks are great though!

  • These are the best socks I’ve ever owned. I’ve never looked forward to wearing socks like I look forward to wearing my bombas. They are super high quality, look fun, and I find to be the perfect amount of warm / cooling - perfect for every temperature and setting. The brand also has a great mission that makes buying the socks worth it on its own.

    I would love to see more releases from the brand to include hiking socks, sleeping socks, etc. and just to see more variety generally!
