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.

  • Hands down the best baby socks I have ever tried and they actually stay on my baby’s (now toddler) feet! The quality is great and I like the brand’s mission too give back (donating a pair of socks for every one sold). Will definitely order again, and for myself next time 🙂.

  • You might think socks are socks until you try Bombas. The cushioning on these socks is unreal and you don’t realize how much you miss it until you go back to another brand. They’re definitely pricier but I do feel that the quality is worth it. They have sales fairly often and you can get a discount by ordering a pack.

  • Generally, I enjoy Bombas socks. They are very cozy and keep my feet cool even on hot days. These are for their basic socks. However, I ordered the men's compression ankle socks this time around. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the compression socks. Granted, they are comfortable after putting them on and they are nice and soft. I also love the mission behind the company. All I can say is that the compression socks are a nightmare to put on. They are very tight and I don't feel the compression in all of the spots I would like. The socks felt fine once I won the battle of putting them on. They were also very hard to take off. Again, Bombas makes some nice socks and I recommend them as a company. However, I do not recommend the compression socks. Those things are a pain in the ass.

  • I love my bombas and always find myself wanting more! They are so comfy and last for such a long time too. The honeycomb pattern hugs your foot. There are so many styles, weights, socks heights, colors, designs, etc. And as if that wasn’t enough, they’re a great company with fantastic values you can stand behind.

  • I have several pairs of their calf length casual socks and above the calf dress socks. The dress socks are my absolute favorite dress socks. They’re super high quality and comfortable. The casual socks are good but expensive.

  • Obsessed with their socks! Love the grip they have in the back so they don't slide down which is a personal pet peeve of mine.

  • I love love love Bombas socks. I converted to being a Bombas Believer about 3 years ago. I bought the Women's Merino Wool Calf Sock for cold weather and they keep my feet SO warm but not sweaty. Also the fabric isn't super thick! Their customer service is AMAZING. One of my socks got hole in it after under a year of use and I told them and they sent me a new pair. Pretty cool! They are also just really cute and have great color options. I wear these with sandals alll the time.

  • Comfiest socks ever!! They're thin enough where they won't make your feet sweaty, but light enough so you don't feel the soles of your shoes. They're the only socks I wear now. They've lasted about 6 months with no major signs of wear and tear.

  • Not only are these socks comfortable and high quality that last for literal YEARS, their customer service is superb! I lost one sock from a pair of wool hikers. I wrote to the company and they sent me another pair free of charge. What other company does that??? They have tons of products, and not just socks!! They also give back to the community, and not just in fake carbon offsets. I'm a customer for life.

  • My favorite socks. Also the best holiday gift. They are pricy but so worth it! I really love getting these as a gift over the holidays and they are really fun to give since I wouldn't normally buy for myself!

  • I’ve worn Bombas socks literally every single day for the past six years—and I’m not even exaggerating. They’ve survived workouts, lazy days, travel, laundry disasters, and everything in between. No holes, no thinning, and somehow they still feel good when I put them on. The comfort is unmatched. The cushion? Heavenly. The fit? Perfect every time. I’ve tried other brands (because let’s be honest, curiosity), but nothing holds up like these.

  • Once you go Bombas you never want to go back. I just got rid of 17 pairs of socks to make room for more Bombas. Great for lounging or running/working out. And their customer service responds so quickly and kindly!

    Prices are kinda steep!

  • I love my comfy Bombas. I’m wearing my tye dyed socks today and I they are perfect! Wool and soft as can be. I will purchase more in the future.

  • Found Bombas to be a great story with buy one / donate one focus. Socks are such a personal item and feels good to know others will benefit. I have the low cut everyday and many of the specific foot (R) and (L) versions that seem to perform very well for active lifestyle. Cheers Summer 2025 update: work and athletic socks still crushing it. They hold fit over years of washing

    Price is worth it when you factor in the donation and quality fit

  • I think that these socks are just okay. I have liked other ones that have more cushion support a lot more. The ones I have also run very small and are not the most comfortable for a long run. I wear them around the house.

  • super soft socks and a first class return policy and customer service. for products that i wanted to return, they often didn't have me ship them back and "give to a friend" and when i had product quality issue they replaced it right away, no questions asked.

  • I heard that compression socks are a must for long flights and I'm going to Japan for the first time later this year, so I decided to give Bombas a try! I tried them on and they are sooo comfortable, I could barely tell I was wearing them. I'm excited to see how they feel for my trip! While I was shopping, I also decided to try another pair of regular half calf socks (pictured) and I'm in love. The vintage style is so cute and they're the perfect height and snugness. Already wore them to the gym and know these will be in regular rotation!

  • I’ve tried a variety of Bombas socks. Overall they provide good cushioning and firm compression, where applicable, that makes them great for running, hiking, airplane travel, and every day use. The colors are fun.

  • I first purchased my Bombay socks before they were famous on the internet! I have had mine for sooo many years. I like the quality and their buy one donate one charity! My only complaint is in the last 5 years, the quality has changed and they seem to shrink a lot! This has made me steer away from the company. I do love my Sesame Street collection though.

  • Easily the most comfortable sock I have ever owned. They are durable and breathable without sacrificing comfort. Highly recommend for winter especially.
