Poor quality

By Tracey B., Boston, MA, Verified Reviewer

It’s fantastic that money is raised for homeless shelters, and socks are donated to the most needy. But the price of these socks is three times what you would pay in the shop - so it’s not the Bombas company that is being altruistic! Poor quality with a plastic feel, not one ounce of softness. Very tight fit and actually uncomfortable to wear. Buy a pair of nice socks from a regular shop and donate the money you’ll save to charity.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Honestly not much, maybe the color choices?

Feel like plastic

Not soft or warm

Too tight and uncomfortable

Hey Lori,

Savannah, here, from the Bombas Customer Happiness Team.

Thanks so much for your review, although I'm sorry to hear that your socks are slipping. That's no fun.

Slipping socks are usually the result of a sizing issue and we'd be more than happy to find pairs that are the perfect fit.

When you have a moment, please reach out to us at bit.ly/bombashelp so we can assist you directly.

Looking forward to speaking with you!

Total scam

By Jessica A. , Portland, ME

I ordered their “wool” socks last winter. The socks are incredibly thin and did not last. I only got 4–6 months wear out of ALL 8 pairs I ordered. If I am buying “wool” socks I expect them to last at least 1–2 years. Shameful.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hey Jessica,

My name is Cory, I am with Customer Happiness here at Bombas.

We appreciate your review, although we're terribly sorry to hear what has happened to your Merino Wool Socks.

This sounds like the result of a factory defect or sizing issue. However, no matter the cause, you're completely covered by our 100% Happiness Guarantee so we'd love to get you replacements for these pairs as soon as possible.

At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at bit.ly/bombashelp so we can help.

We look forward to turning your experience around!
