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.

  • Really high quality socks and the only socks I've every been excited about! They're very plush and a bit on the thicker side.

  • These are the best socks for compression if your workout or have high-intensity needs. They are quite pricy but I personally think they hold up over the years and usage so much more than regular store brands.

  • Absolutely amazing! So comfy! Would totally recommend!

  • Wonderful! Comfortable to wear, easy to wash. A bit pricey but worth it

  • Bombas are so thick and comfy. My mom bought me some and whenever it’s fall/winter I have to wear them. They’re high quality and have a great mission!!

  • These are pricey, but fantastic socks. They're well-made, cute, and have great support. I like their mission in theory, but I haven't done enough research into it to see how well they follow through on it. Assuming it's all as advertised, though, that's a cool element of the brand.

  • Love the socks - they’re so comfortable and thick but breathable. The support on the middle of the foot gives a nice snug fit and they last a long long time.

  • So, these socks are definitely hyped. My mom frequently brought up how much she loves her bombas. I now own three pairs thanks to that lovely woman, so here are my thoughts. 1) High quality. These feel thick and durable. Definitely not socks you worry about poking a toe through 2) Cute designs. Nothing crazy to write home about.... but also, I did not pick it out myself! Could just be my mom picking things out that she likes and not a proper representation of the full breath of the brand. 3) I am not a fan of the height. I personally want a sock that can not be seen, or is fully seen (half calf, ankle). These are awkwardly peeping out the top of my sneakers. I really only choose to wear these when I will be spending my day at home. Yes, still a four star review. Why? These are all my opinions on the LOOK. The quality and the brand in general are still deserving of a high review. And I definitely plan to give them another chance. These pairs just didn't make the cut for my weekly sock circulation!

  • Had these socks for 4 years! Great quality, comfortable and great cause

  • Love Bombas socks. Never gotten a blister while wearing them and feels good knowing they give back to their community.

  • My all time favorite sock. The perfect amount of thickness (on the thicker side to cushion my bunions). Every sock I’ve tried is a winner.

  • They are good quality and they look great but I’ve had two pairs get small holes in them after maybe 6 months or a year. I think socks should last a little longer than that.

  • Love the cushioning on the back of the ankle. Need to buy more!

  • My entire family has only bought Bombas for 5+ years. At first there is a sticker shock but then you realize how comfortable they are (and they donate a pair on your behalf!). They get holes after 2-3 years of VERY regular use which is normal for socks. The best out there!

  • Such comfy socks. Good for casual wear, running, exercising, anything really. They provide great support and I love all of their fun colors. Makes wearing socks more fun!
