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.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    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 this product. So comfortable and washes really well.

    Feedback

    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.

    Feedback

    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.

    Feedback

    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!

    Feedback

    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.

    Feedback

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

  • Bombas has a great mission / story to go along with the comfiest socks. I’ve stuck to their no shows, and love them.

    Feedback

    Definitely expensive, but it’s a good product and the donation helps sweeten it

  • Hard to find great socks that last and Bombas delivers time and time again. You pay for quality and their mission but it is so worth it I don't want to wear any other socks from here on out!

    Feedback

    Selfishly as a designer I so badly want to re-design and tinker with the branding but that's probably a bit too ambitious and unnecessary from a brand out there doing great.
