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.

  • Mom, dad, child. What do we have in common? A shared love for Bombas socks! This is the one brand of socks we look forward to receiving on Christmas Day!

  • I got a pack of the wool mid level for a gift and absolutely love these socks. Never get a blister and they’re so warm/ don’t make the feet sweat.

  • Extremely well made and excellent fitting socks. I like how they 'hug' your feet, especially around the arches. These are my go-to winter socks especially. I would like to try the thinner versions but I have not yet had the opportunity to do so. I've given these as a gift to someone who already has everything and they were a hit!

  • Love Bombas! Do not slide down into your shoe as you’re working out or walking. Fun colors as well and comfy.

  • I love wearing these around the house — perfect alternative to slippers.

  • was not crazy about this product. wouldnt order again

  • I love the variety of colors and patterns and weights of socks, I wear only bombas and for the last 5 years they slowly replaced all my other socks and have outlasted all the other brands. I also love the toddler socks because they are much warmer than other brands and have grips so they can run around without slipping and falling.

  • I love the concept that drives Bombas. Their philanthropy to the homeless is awesome and makes the price more palatable. That said, I did not find them comfortable. I spend most of my time shoeless, and these socks constantly twisted around on my feet, leaving the toe area out of line with my toes, I need to adjust them several times during the day, which was annoying.

  • Wore the compression socks on a trip to/from Europe. So comfy! I would highly recommend.

  • Switched over entirely to bombas socks years ago and have't looked back. They're pretty much all I wear now. Even the basic socks work so well and are versatile between work and activity (gym).

  • Great socks but so expensive. I love my bombas, as do my kids. They are just very expensive considering my kids often lose socks in the locker room. I also purchased the underwear and definitely do not think the underwear is worth it- my feeling was that they were just trying to ride the wave of the Amazing sock game. If you are a responsible sock owner, who won’t lose socks and your dog won’t steal, hide and/or eat them- Bombas are worth it.

  • The best most comfortable socks ever.

  • Bombas socks are nothing special. What really sucks about them is that they're 4x overpriced, and market themselves as do-gooders. The company is owned by a private equity firm, so I would like to see testimonials from people or organizations who they donate to.

  • Love Bombas socks! They are nice and thick and great for runners! Love the extra lip on the back that helps it not slide into your shoe. I did read not to dry these and at first I didn't dry them in the dryer and now it is a pain to remember to let them air dry, however they do tend to shrink up and get misshapen and I feel for the price, that should not happen.

  • Socks that stand the test of time and do not rip! Honestly it's impossible to wear holes into these socks. Expensive but worth the investment for the quality and comfort.

  • Great brand! I use these socks when running long distance. Super cushiony. Best part is you buy a pair, they give a pair

  • Bombas make great products. I got a pair of socks that were branded for my company from them and they are super comfortable. My wife has a few pairs as well and also have some of their thongs which she says are very comfortable.

  • Great fit, comfortable, no annoying toe seam, amazing Program giving back.

  • My favorite sock brand now! I won’t go back to any other brand. The slight compression of these socks feels so good in my feet. And Bomba’s warranty is unmatched anywhere else.
