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.

  • By far some of my favorite socks I've owned. They offer a variety of sizes and colors which makes shopping for them so much more fun. Love that the ankle socks have a little bit of padding on the back to make them more comfortable. Especially good for the winter since some of the options are a little thicker and they help to keep your feet warm.

  • Love this brands mission to give a pair for a pair bought. The socks last a long time (years!).

  • High quality socks, durable and lasting. I love the mission of the company. Definitely recommend.

  • I have gotten Bombas socks as gifts, so I decided to order some both as a gift and for myself. They are very warm, and beautifully made. I did find that the ones I ordered were too tight above my ankle although I ordered my size, so I don’t wear them. The ones I got as a gift fit well. Perhaps I should have explored the descriptions better when I ordered.

  • I bought a number of pairs of compression socks from Bombas and loved them. They were tight and somewhat hard to put on, but once they were on they were fantastic.

  • They are thicker socks than what I am used to so made it a bit tighter in my shoe. Nice and comfortable when I put them on.

  • I hate how much I love these socks because they are expensive. I first got a couple of pairs as a gift and I liked them so much I bought a couple of packs. They are now my go-to socks to wear, and when I've run out I take it as a sign to do laundry. They are super comfortable, high-quality, and supportive.

  • Great socks! A little expensive given that they do wear out over time. Probably worth it. The low cut ones for sneakers are very comfortable and only start to slip off my heel after theyve shrunk from washing for a year+.

  • Super comfy socks. They are good quality and last a long time.

  • THEYRE SO COMFY! Especially for me who like something warm on my feet during the fall and cold season.

    Verified purchase

  • I purchased several packages of socks from Bombas for my husband. I was surprised at how quickly they wore out. The company was fantastic when I let them know. They asked for photos which I provided and once verified they apologized and sent me new socks. My husband continued to have the same issue, so I wondered if perhaps it was the color I was ordering. I stopped ordering them because they just weren't holding up. I have several pair and have not had any issues.

  • My husband and I enjoy our Bomba socks and give them as gifts. Makes me feel good we are helping people who need socks! They stay snuggly on your foot with any kind of shoe. The designs are colorful and include 🐝 hive hexagons, a nod to our homestead bees!

  • I’d seen these advertised extensively, primarily on Facebook. They were offering a discount, and I needed some new socks anyway. They have a great selection of men’s socks and I found some I really liked. Another feature I was delighted to see were the choice of size. Most socks are size 8 - 13; Bombas are offered in three sizes. The large size fits me perfectly. Their website is extremely easy to use, too. I received my socks very quickly. When I opened them and put a pair on, I was immediately impressed by the fit, the comfort, and the quality. I’ll definitely be buying more.

  • Truly the best socks. I can genuinely say I *cherish* them. They're pricey, but I've never lost a mate in the pair because of how dedicated I am to not losing them... Quite honestly, they are my ideal birthday present.

  • These were very comfy and soft! They fit nicely too!

  • I have the calf height and low cut socks and love how they feel on my foot. Plenty of cushion and support without being bulky. Plus, I love the fun colors!

  • I have purchased socks from this brand many times and they are the ones I reach for in my sock drawer. Not only are the materials soft but durable and I feel like my heels are protected from shoes that rub. The socks with the tabs are my favorite but I also love the wool socks for hiking and outdoor activities.

  • Love their socks. They last a long time and are super comfortable. The design is unique and gives just the right “squeeze” in the arch. We also had good customer service from them as well. Highly recommended.
