Bombas earns strong reviews for exceptionally comfortable, supportive socks—no-shows that stay put, cushioned athletic and running styles with arch support, and durable kids’ grippers—while its one‑for‑one donation model resonates. Reviews also flag weaknesses: frequent shrinkage, tight calves/ankles and narrow fit for wide feet, inconsistent sizing, and durability issues like holes in heels or thinner styles wearing out, alongside frequent comments that Bombas is pricey.

  • Bombas have been on my radar for years - mainly due to their outreach to the unhoused community - but I just started wearing them a couple of years ago. Now, I can’t recommend them enough. The fit is perfect, they stay up without cutting off bloodflow and I’m genuinely so in love with every pair I own. I’d also recommend them for their comfort. They’re super comfortable without being too think to fit in my favorite kicks. Once you try their socks, you’ll always be a fan. PS. They offer gift packs and make THE BEST gifts for just about everyone.

  • I love the look and feel of these socks! Somehow even after dozens of washes they maintain that new sock feel.

  • Super expensive but have lasted me such a long time, it may be worth it in the end. These socks are very high quality and comfortable to wear.

    I think because they’re knit, dirt tends to stain the socks even after washing. I’d need to beach them to get them back to white.

  • Great socks and a great mission. I volunteer at a homeless shelter and we always have boxes of these coming in for the folks visiting.

  • I looooooove my Bombas! They are so so comfy, they've held up for so long, and I love the color options! What the company stands for is absolutely amazing.

    I'm not going to lie: they're pricey. But so worth it.

  • 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!

    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.
