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.

  • Bombas are the best socks ever! What’s not to love about super cute and comfy socks from a company that gives back to the community. Bombas are always on my gift giving list. No one can have too many Bombas!

  • I run about 100 miles a week so the right sock choice is critical. I've been impressed by the comfort and longevity which are not usually a successful combination with running socks.

  • Omg where do I begin … I am a Bombas super fan! These socks are the best made, most durable and comfortable socks ever! I threw away all my other socks a few years ago and only wear Bombas. My husband and daughter are converts too! After years of wearing and washing, the colors are still vibrant and the socks are in great shape!

  • I love love love these socks. I received my first pair as a Christmas present, and loved the beautiful vibrant colors. The first time I wore them I fell in love with how they hugged my feet, not tight but softly. It is hard to explain but they huh just enough to relieve a little tension in the feet. I am neurodivergent and generally hate socks. Even in harsh Chicago winters I don’t wear them. But these are different. I love putting them on. I’ve had that same first pair for a few years now (and multiple additional pairs) and even after multiple washings they still hug my feet (no stretching out or losing their shape) and have no holes!

  • I love these socks. It's such a luxury to have nice socks. These are the first ones I've felt super sad about losing in the wash.. so that's saying something!

  • I notice that I always search for my few pairs of Bombas when I’m going for a run. I expected them to be more comfortable, but the fact that they do not slide, slide, or cause a lot of sweat is enough to spend the extra money. The designs are funky and cute and they are doing such charitable things at that company. I put these “fancy” socks on my Christmas list.

  • Received these as a gift a few years ago and have bought several more pairs since then. More expensive, but very durable - My oldest pair is 4 years old and looks brand new. I typically wear size 7.5, and sized up to Medium (size 8-10) since the small (4-7.5) felt too tight.

  • These are long lasting socks for sure. I got a few in 2017 that are still holding up fine in 2023. I love the brands mission to help bees too. The socks don’t pill. My only complaint is that sometimes the designs are interesting to me.

  • Arch and metatarsal compression make these socks the only socks I wear to work and while traveling.

  • This is not an affordable sock. However, I reach for this sock first every single time despite the other options I have in the drawers. They are thick, comfortable, sweat wicking.

  • The socks are too big for me. Its unfortunate that this brand doesn't sell socks for women with average-sized feet. I am a 6.5 US Women shoe size. These socks bunch up at the heel or toe.

  • i am a woman with a size 11 foot and i never knew how socks were supposed to fit before bombas.... i am never going back

  • High-quality socks. They're super comfy and come in a wide variety of colors. They are a little more on the pricey side but worth it in my opinion. I've had pairs for years and they still perform.

  • These are great socks, very comfortable and have a lot of different designs. I think that the only downside to theses are that they tend to run a little more expensive.

  • The best socks! These socks are so soft and comfy, and what makes them even better is the awesome customer service and the mission behind the company. They do so much good and have a wonderful product.

  • I love how they hold my feet and how breathable these socks are! THE BEST thing if you're an active person.

  • While these socks support a great cause and are incredibly comfortable, the fact that they breakdown in quality quite quickly leaves me in a position to not fully support the purchase of Bombas. If you are alright moving forward with a sock that hugs your foot well but, doesn't last long than go for it.

  • I was gifted a pair of their socks from a friend. The ankle socks are great quality and have kept their structure after a ton of washes. They are very breathable and I use them for the gym when I can.

  • Love the durability of this sock. Not a sock I would wear while working out due to the thickness.
