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.

  • Cute and soft high-quality fabric.

  • Never thought I would love a brand of socks so much... I love using Bombas for my pilates classes, as well as waitressing shifts. They are so comfortable, never slip, and save me from blisters during long shifts! 10/10 :)

  • Really great quality socks. Although they're pricey, they quality lasts longer than any other socks I own so I feel like they are worth it!

  • The world's greatest sock. There, I said it. I have so many great pairs of runnings socks/no show socks/snowboarding socks I have collected, and I finally have thrown them all away after getting enough Bombas socks in the last few years. Even though some other styles were still pretty new, I never grab them if there is a pair of Bombas socks next to them. They, thick, so soft and never move in your shoes.

    Invest over time in a variety of their socks! I started with a few no shows, then some running ones, then kept growing my collection as I loved the initial pairs.

  • I LOVE bombas. I have wicked high arches, sweaty feet (sorry), and tend to hate the feeling of socks pushing on my toes. I also have a specialty to loose socks. Bombas replaces any lost or damaged socks, and they breathe better than any sock I have ever worn.

    Expensive, but worth it.

  • These are the only socks of mine that hold up for months and months after being worn and washed and dried hundreds of times!

  • I really like these socks! Snug, supportive fit, fun colors and a great mission!

    Feedback

    The price point is a little higher for socks.

  • I own a bunch of bombas socks including wool, everyday, and running socks.They are really comfortable and durable. I also was recently gifted the bombas gripper slippers. I love the slippers for keeping warm in the house and they don’t slip on our concrete floors. They have great colors too!

  • I’ve loved Bombas for a while. I really appreciate the cushioning in the heel, toe, and, on the ankle socks, the ankle flap. Overall, I have enjoyed all my Bombas, although I would caution if you live somewhere hot, since they are thick.

  • I love my BOMBAS. They are thick, snug and warm, without any bulkiness. The toe seam magically disappears when I put them on, and they never lose their shape or color over the years. Besides being so sturdy and high quality, you will love their colorful design options, which change with the season,

  • Great quality, but durability hasn’t been the best with all of my pairs overtime.

    Feedback

    Work on durability. I’ve gotten some holes after less than a year.

  • These are my favorite running socks. I knew I needed to start using higher-quality socks once I started getting blisters on runs. Since using Bombas, I don't have that issue anymore. My favorite thing though is their mission statement! I love that they donate pairs of socks to nonprofits - such as Meals on Wheels, a nonprofit close to my heart!

    I wish there was an XL size that was easily accessible. I am a 10-10.5 and they sometimes feel a little too snug but I can't find XL socks in stores.

  • The house slippers are great. I had difficulties finding house shoes that were not too warm or cold. These are perfect for guys. They have an outsole if you want to step out and get mail or take out the garbage. I would really recommend these.

    Feedback

    The sizing is a bit off. Had to size up.

  • My grandma got me some of these socks for Christmas last year and they are some of my most worn socks to date. Not only do they not show the amount of wear that they've been put through, but the comfortability is unmatched. The color has retained, there's no beading or wear and tare..all around worth it for a long lasting, comfortable, and cute pair of socks.

  • I have several pairs of no show socks from Bombas. I think these socks could be great for some people, but unfortunately they just don’t work for my high-arched foot shape. The size medium is way too big (I’m a women’s size 9) and falls off my heel. The size small is too tight and causes indentations and pain across the top of my foot after just a few hours of wear.

  • Got an ankle pair as a gift. Great overall, soft, feel like high quality. They are a bit too tight on my ankles and I would say I have average size ankles/calves. The brand has a good mission.

  • I think Bombas are so comfy and cool looking. My family and I love them. They are comfy and durable. Bombas don't shrink or act like other clothes, when they have been washed/dried over and over. They stay the same size, meaning they last a long time. I can only say good things about this brand.

    Feedback

    I give these products a 100/100. I love to wear all of the products. I would definitely consider this brand, it's worth every cent for everyday essentials. Every purchase you help the homeless as well. I only have good things to say about Bombas.

  • I LOVE these socks. I worried they’d fall apart immediately, but they’re going strong years later—and even through a few bleach/peroxide soaks to clean them up. The wool knee-highs are SO SOFT.

    Feedback

    They really are at a high price point. I get it, the mission, but at this price, I pretty much avoid the cute, fun colors and go straight for utilitarian.
