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.

  • Comfortable socks with a great mission and purpose. Being an ER nurse we frequently deal with the homeless, we provide new hospital sock but they are not near the quality.

  • I’ll be honest. I didn’t understand how I could ever love socks. And then I tried Bombas. They are somehow supportive and comfy in a way that I didn’t know socks could be. I’ve now tried their ankle socks, wool half socks, and grippy socks. All have fit and held up over time.

  • Love the brand and the socks are some of my favorites. I bought the compression socks during my pregnancy and they really helped with aches in my feet.

  • I got the Sesame Street set for my toddler and he'll wear nothing else. So cute, high quality, and comfy.

  • My favorite socks, I have a pair on right now! They are so comfortable and never slip down and come in a color to match anything and everything.

  • I bought these expecting them to be overhyped but they really are great. I'd never given much thought to my socks before but these made me realize what a mistake that was. They are pretty pricy though which makes it hard to justify buying.

  • I love g to he brand and the customer experience is great. I took one star off because of the fit-but maybe it’s just my foot. There was so much extra fabric at the heel that it was uncomfortable and scrunchy (is that a word?). I bought a couple of different brands at the same time and the others were simply a better fit. For reference, I wear a U.S. 8.5-9.

  • Love love love these socks. I’ve got multiple styles, and am slowly replacing my older socks to be exclusively a bombas gal. Super comfy and cushy and holds up to wear. My oldest pairs are now several years old and look just as good as the month-old pairs

  • Unbelievably comfy and durable. Only complain would be they're a little thick so I can only wear them with looser shoes.

  • I love Bombas socks. They’re great for everyday wear and I have the workout ones too. You can tell they’re higher quality than other socks, and wick sweat really well. My only beef with them is the sizing can be really inconsistent between styles.

  • Feels a bit weird to write a rave review for a pair of socks, but these are honestly worth it. I am almost frustrated at this brand because it made me start spending money on socks once I felt the difference. I wear them down until they get holes in them, and that's after about 2 years of wearing them every single day. they're thick but not hot, which is so hard to come by. My favorite are the white ankle socks.

  • Luxurious socks, love my grippy socks for just walking around the house - yes I could wear regular socks but these prevent me from slipping when chasing my kids around and we are a no shoes inside house family. Love the give one get one messaging, and they seem to hold up really well too. Don’t mind getting these for Christmas!

  • Great customer service, high quality, good options choice and fast shipping! a must for anyone

  • Look, I didn’t believe there was a difference between socks and Bombas socks. I was a hold out! My friend gifted me a pair and I am now a Bombas hoarder! I love them and I can’t explain why. They hug your feet but aren’t hot. They are soft but don’t mush around in your shoe. And their mission is amazing! We love a conscious company. Love these socks!

  • loooove my bombas -- gave a pair to each of my family members for the holidays last year, i love them so much!

  • These socks are worth every penny. The quality is super high and they have a fun variety of colors. I have several pairs from their Nordic winter collection and they keep my feet nice and warm during cold Midwest winters!

  • Love buying these for friends and family! Great for running and very long-lasting.

  • I think they've improved more recently - the pairs I have from a few years ago did not hold up but I'm loving my new no show socks. They are definitely the best of all the brands I have tried (Stance, Smartwool, etc).
