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.

  • Originally got these as a gift and am now addicted to the sock luxury game. I find myself saving my bombas for "hard days" or days when I need to enjoy a little more ooomph in my foot game. Great for running and other workouts when you can't afford a slip.

  • I was gifted a pack of Bombas baby socks at my baby shower and quickly bought more once I got to try them on my baby. They're the only socks that actually stay on her feet, plus they're thick and cozy and she doesn't mind wearing them at all. I'll call that a win! My only wish is that they came in more neutral colors. I love how bright and fun they can be, but sometimes I just want a simple, plain white sock to put on my baby so it doesn't clash with her outfit since she's not wearing shoes yet.

  • My favorite socks! Minus one star because they run a bit small in my experience and I wish that was clearer on the site.

  • Not very comfy and any little stain is permanent on them. Will personally never order again.

  • Good socks, hold up well after multiple washes, but nothing *amazing* about them. Also seem to run big.

  • I love these socks! They have added cushion in the heels which elevate the comfort of all my shoes! I also love thy he tab at the ankle, prevents all blisters

  • Have a couple of pairs of these socks for a few years now. Lovely & soft, wear them for my yoga & qigong classes

  • Bombas are the best, I've ordered socks and slippers from them and they're truly so comfortable.

  • Love love love the quality and thickness of the socks, plus the mission is great. I just wish the price point as a little better as I often buy generic versions of these from Quince or Italic.

  • I have a pair for my driving loafers and they are fab! The heels don't slip and they are wonderful quality!

  • Fine socks - no real complaints! What I will say, though, is that I really do believe that they're a well-intentioned company who want to help those in need. I've seen these given out for free at multiple places that support those in need of money so if you value supporting honest, good companies then I would highly recommend Bombas!

  • Bombas is one of those brands that you wear once and then forget that other brands even exist. These socks easily reign supreme. Comfortable, don't fall down when you walk, add extra cushion, the no shows stay up and also don't show...what more can you ask for? These socks are actually worth keeping track of.

  • Great women's socks! I tend to forget how think our socks are and how unsupported they are. You could only get this amount of cushioning and support from unflattering orthopedic socks. That being said, please read the description before purchasing online, not all the socks are cushioned. I have seen packs in stores that are just as thin as any sock out there. I would only tell someone to get the cushioned ones, considering the price point.

  • These are so pricy it's hard to justify buying for myself, but I've gotten some as gifts and always love to receive them. My whole family loves them.

  • I’m a nurse and find myself reaching for my bomba compression socks the most! They’re super soft and not tight at the top, and hit my shin at a good spot right under my knee. I do wish these were more affordable but I’m happy with the product!
