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.

  • Great overall experience, I was really tired of buying socks that were a cheaper prices but also cheaper fabric. Most of my socks would last 3-4 months and I found it wasteful. I had heard many great things about Bombas and they had a sale so I bought a handful of different black and white sock bundles. Since buying back in January 2022, I still have every pair I bought and they are in great condition.

    I purchased a few bundles of Bombas socks when they were running a sale back in January 2022 and I still have every single pair I purchased and they are in good condition. I use them for everyday and workouts. As soon as I purchased online, they provided constant touch points until they eventually showed up at my doorstep. Excellent communication!

  • What can I say, these are the first socks I look for when I open my drawer. Superior comfort, and not too bulky so I can wear them with dress shoes. Yes pricey but I haven’t had to retire a pair yet and they have a great mission.

  • The socks are extremely comfortable. They fit my foot well and have stitching that helps to conform to your foot size. Additionally there is a tab on the short socks that helps to prevent rubbing against the shoe/sneaker I wear.

    The socks may be to short for some but I don’t have any issues.

  • Comfortable socks, but they wear easily. Like most socks, the texture is nice and soft at first but they deteriorate just as quickly. At the high price point, I found these to be underwhelming

  • I love Bombas, the socks and the company's values. When a pair is purchased, a pair is donated! I'm still wearing Bombas I purchased 7 years ago. The quality is 5 🌟. They last far beyond the sock life of others.

  • love these socks! I got my first pairs in 2020, and they're still going strong. the running socks are basically the only socks i run in. however, i'm not sure if the quality has decreased recently. i bought some of the knitted wool socks over the winter, and the threads are coming loose. i feel like for the price (nearly $18 a pair), that should not be happening

  • I have never been influenced by a pair of socks so quickly…. The slight pressure the sole of my feet feel when you first put them on is relaxing, basically a perfect fit. I wear them to work and walk a lot during the day and my feet feel good.

    The short bombas seem to fall apart in terms of threading and shrink easily (the ones cut before the ankle) they do not last as long.

  • Love their product and mission. Always quality and I really like that the sock sizes aren’t like size 5-11 - that’s not realistic.

  • Such comfortable socks and they last a long time.

  • I bought several black pairs of Bombas for stocking stuffers in December . Fast forward 4 months and they have all shrunk so much only our smaller footed daughter can wear them . On a side note the extra large are really not for people with shoes over size 12. They are not cheap socks & the quality & feel were lacking . Great purpose but I won’t be buying again .

    What could be better is if the material used was less restrictive and had more give to them. And if the socks didn’t shrink that would be a big plus. I use cold water & don’t have access to a hang dry method so these socks are done in less than 6 months ?? Not good

  • Bombas are really THAT sock. Before bombas I am sad to admit I was wearing socks from literally Amazon and they caused my shoes to smell horrible in NYC summers (ew, I know). Bombas are so comfortable for daily activities and running workouts. Love and will pay the premium for these amazing socks.

  • Product quality is excellent, and easy to order. I have ordered for myself as well as for my dad. Love their model of buy one give one.

    Feedback

    The issue we have had with them is as someone ages, they tend to get more water retention in their ankles and lower leg. Finding that these stocks are soo tight that they cut off circulation (anklets) or compress the lower leg/ankle too much.

  • favorite socks! Literally search for them among all my other socks on laundry day

  • These socks are the bomb(as). Super comfortable, durable, and great looking. Easily always at the top of my very crowded sock drawer.

  • I stumbled upon these after ordering a beautiful pair of loafers and needing low cut socks that didn’t fall down! I read about Bombas and truly didn’t believe that a magical no show sock that didn’t actually fall down after 5 steps and scrunch below your foot existed. MY FRIENDS. Bombas actually stays up ALL DAY. I couldn’t believe it. I also now own 5 pairs of their marled socks which are my favorite for work since I’m on my feet all day. Love their mission too.

    Customer support is amazing and will go out of their way to make sure you’re happy!

  • I wasn't that interested in trying Bombas because I had heard so many ads for them on podcasts or on instagram ads. But i got my first set of Bombas for Christmas and I can't stop wearing them. I got a pack of ankle socks with cute little frills on them and they are my favorite pairs of socks to wear! They stay up, have endured many washer and dryer cycles and they haven't worn down a bit. I'm a huge fan and think they are absolutely worth the hype.

    Feedback

    I think Bombas will continue to revolutionize socks! I will say the price is a bit of a stretch for the average consumer. I would consider them a luxury item.

  • Best socks ever!

    Feedback

    Perfect fit, every time, even after washing.

  • These are the only socks I like to wear anymore. They are SO comfortable, come in an incredible variety of colors and patterns, and are perfect for almost any and every activity. PLUS, the company is doing something good for the world, by donating a pair of socks for every pair bought.

  • Very high quality, thick, soft, breathable, great colors. And they serve the great good by giving a pair for every pair you buy. Amazing!!

  • I have swapped my entire sock drawer with Bombas socks over the last couple of years. I love the light cushion in the sole and the no-shows and ankle socks do not bunch up around the toes or slide down on your foot. The ankle padding has saved me from blisters multiple times. These socks don't lose their shape in the wash and fit perfectly. I usually wear the ankle socks, but also have the no-show, calf and merino wool versions. Love them!
