Reviews mention

  • Plush cushioning comfort
  • Secure no-show grip
  • Supportive arch compression
  • Breathable performance fabrics
  • Inconsistent fabric durability
  • Tight calf compression
  • Thick knit heat buildup
  • Sizing inconsistency across styles

Bombas delivers notably comfortable, supportive socks that many reviews call their daily go-to—no-show styles stay put, performance and running pairs cushion without bulk, and kids’ grippy socks impress—yet durability is inconsistent, with multiple reports of holes, pilling, and shrinkage. Reviews on Bombas also praise breathable materials, arch-hugging fit, and the brand’s donation model, while flagging product-inherent drawbacks like thick fabrics feeling too warm or tight on wide calves, variable sizing between styles, and a price that feels steep for socks.

  • 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.

  • I am in love with Bombas, I got my first pair back in 2022 and ever since then, it has been the only brand that I use. I have always had a thing for socks, not to say that I am picky with socks. I hate the feeling of sweat that produces some materials but Bombas' technology is so amazing because when is winter, your feet are warm and not sweaty, and when there is summer, it feels so fresh! Also, the non-sticky model was amazing for my lagree pilates class! Bombas! I would love to represent your brand in the Hispanic Market! Thank you for creating such an amazing brand

  • I’ve had bombas for 3+ years now and they are my go to socks, especially for when I know I’ll be on my feet all day. You can definitely feel the difference in thickness, padding, and comfort - I know when I’m not wearing bombas. I have high rise, low rise, ankle, and no show versions, and all have lasted me well throughout the years. No holes, no thinning of material. My favorite are the no show - these are the only no show socks that I find comfortable and still stay on my feet without rolling. The only downside is the price, but honestly, they are worth it if you are looking for added comfort. They make even the most flat footed, loose fitting shoes comfortable.

  • I've been on the hunt for the perfect socks to wear to the gym for ages, and I finally found them in Bombas socks! These socks are seriously amazing - they're so comfortable and soft that it almost feels like I'm not wearing socks at all. The cushioned footbeds and arch support make them perfect for long workouts, and I love that they have seamless toes so I don't have to worry about any irritation or discomfort. Not only are they comfortable, but they're also super stylish. I love the variety of colors and patterns available, so I can mix and match with my workout gear. And the fact that Bombas donates a pair of socks for every pair sold makes me feel good about my purchase. It's always great to support a company that gives back to the community. I've been wearing Bombas socks to the gym for a few weeks now and I've already noticed a huge difference in how my feet feel during and after my workouts. They're definitely a bit pricier than other socks on the market, but I think the quality and comfort are well worth the investment. Overall, I would highly recommend Bombas socks to anyone looking for a comfortable and high-quality sock option for their workouts.

  • Ever since getting my first pair of Bombas a couple years ago, they are the only socks I’ll wear. They’re super comfortable and cushioned with a ton of fun colors and styles. They’re worth every penny. I also love how they donate one pair of socks for every pair purchased.

  • Bombas are the best socks! Sometimes I find that tall socks don’t stay up on my calves but their special cross cross weaving helps that and almost offers a kind of compression feel which I like. As far as the athletic socks go, nothing beats them. They’re just thick enough and pretty breathable. Love the different themes too. My whole family loves them!

    Definitely a bit expensive but we’ll worth it when you think of the product and what it gives back to others.

  • i purchased womens performance running ankle & quarter sock as well as both in wool. i did regular cushion in half & medium cushion in half. several yrs back i bought performance run ankle sock & they all had holes in the toes so i needed new socks (in all fairness most of my run socks end up with holes due to my run gait). i bought 3 & 6 packs bc you get a small discount & run socks are expensive $12-$17 & bombas fall in btwn. depending on model sock you choose, they have tons of fun colors & patterns!

    Feedback

    the socks came in an overly huge box & since i bought 3 & 6 packs they were in 3 & 6 pack sleeves but had fallen out of the packs so was difficult figuring out which ones were wool & which just regular & i hate excessive packaging. i’m size 6.5 & did size small which their guide says is 4-7.5 but i found all the ankle socks feel very snug (whereas all quarter sock fix perfect). given that my socks get holes easily, being snug worried me & at that price point i didn’t want chance it so wanted return. they don’t have phone # call which lot companies do now & make me crazy. so i sent email which took them 3 days respond. long story short, it took 5 emails (w 5 different people & 1 phone call) & almost a month to finally get the situation resolved. all cust serv reps were very friendly but took 2-3 days btwn each email to get response & each rep replied that they would take care of it but i would wait 4-5 business days they told me & nothing so back to email.

  • I love these socks. They’re soooo comfy, the webbing on the sole of the foot makes them feel super supportive and fitted. I like the variety of options for every day/different sports/temperatures, I just wish they were a teensy bit less expensive! But the fact that a pair is donated when you buy one is a great thing.

    Feedback

    If they could possibly be a bit cheaper? Maybe just the basic white ones a drop in price? Tough to justify spending that much for a full sock supply, just as a nice treat pair here and there.

  • Loved their high quality slip on sock cum shoes with grips. They are unbelievably comfortable and cozy in winters. Feels like not wearing any shoes while providing warmth to the feet. Perfect for gifts too.

  • Bombas are simply the best and well worth the money. I love the no show line & love the fact that they are not one size fits all. Fun fact - Bombas will also replace socks that have worn holes in them!

  • Bombas product is one of the best quality product I've ever came across, their socks and underwear very good quality and affordable

  • These socks are the best. So comfy, soft, and with a variety of options you really can do whatever. The socks in the multipack aren't as high quality as the individual ones, but still comfy. They last for a really long time and they're nice, thick socks. I appreciate the lack of branding as well - easier to have them blend into what you're wearing than with a brand like Doublesoul. Plus their customer service rocks and I love the brand's mission.

  • Can i say this is the rolls royce of socks? Cause every article i find about best socks is mentioning bombas, bought it a little expensive but the quality speaks for itself. Its as if theres a padding at the bottom making it so soft to wear. The only downside I can say it is a bit hot, so if your feet sweats alot it may be annoying but its doable. The design itself doesnt have that piece of extra fabric on your toes and its awesome. Would recommend this if budget wasnt involved. Also the honeycomb pattern is easy to distinguish this on laundry day

  • This brand is the only brand of socks my family now owns! I love what the company stands for, the quality of socks and the unique options. This is our special splurge gift every Christmas for the entire family!

    Highly recommend, product replacement guarantee as well!!

  • I found Bombas socks a few years ago when I was gifted a pair of ankle socks. They quickly became my favorite pair. One pair just wasn't enough. I ordered a large pack and was obsessed. Then the weather changed and I realized I needed higher pairs for boots. The calf socks were perfect, then summer happened again and I needed NO show socks. Bombas makes THE BEST no show socks, they are so comfortable and don't fall off your feet every 5 seconds. The next thing I new the addiction began. I found the different socks for different occasions. As a runner and spin fanatic the running socks changed my life. This past holiday I gifted everyone with their own pairs.

    Overall I find Bombas socks to be incredible quality. I actually only now have Bombas in my drawers. I do wish they had more subdued designs or 6 packs of monochromatic socks. I love the multi colored grey or green socks but I don't love the only way to get them sometimes is one pair in a multi pack. I do think they company is incredible, if the socks are destroyed they happily replace them and they are always donating. Its just refreshing to have a company that cares about its consumers and others.

  • On the whole, seems like a great brand. I had some quality issues with my first trial order that make me concerned about long term performance. Cushioned No-Show Socks (M) are a great value that have held their elasticity so far. Cotton Underwear is super soft and comfortable. Toddler lightweight socks are fun and comfy (2 year old loves them!). A pair of Performance Cycling Calf Socks got a hole on their very first use, sadly. For $17 I would have expected a little more longevity. The hole is in a place where it hasn't really affected my ability to use them, and otherwise they are extremely comfortable, but gives me pause about their QC process and long term viability. Overall, despite the hole, I'd recommend and will probably order some more socks from them (in particular the no-shows are far superior than any I've tried from other brands), but may avoid athleisure or performance lines for the time being

    Quality Control, Long Term Usability

  • had these socks for quite awhile they have held up well to the rest of time but not sure they are worth the money. not that different than any regular sock imo🤷‍♀️

    Feedback

    the back part sticks out of shoes too much :/

  • My son is 1 years old and these are the ONLY socks that don't roll off when he is crawling or running around. Trust me, I have tried tons of socks. They are also very well made, have great rubber grips and can be worn as tall or folded down as ankle socks, so they are super versatile. They are a bit more expensive, but they also donate 1 product for for every 1 item purchased to homeless so I feel good about spending a little extra.

    I wish they were a little less expensive, but they are worth it!

  • I LOVE Bombas!!! The price of the socks may be a deterrent for people but it shouldn't be - they are that price for a reason! They use high-quality materials and they also donate one pair for every pair bought. They are warm, comfortable, and built to last.
