Not worth the money

By Dominick O., North Arlington, NJ, Verified Reviewer

Not worth the money, socks don’t hold up and are extremely tight, they claim your feet don’t sweat. Not true, their response was more socks that don’t hold up after a few washes fade and fall apart. Don’t waste your money!

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

Foot fungus among us!

By Dee C., New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

I LOVE my Bombas socks. I have about 12 pairs of the athletic style. They are cushy soft and comfy.

Problem? They cause toenail fungus. Why? They just don’t ever dry. I wash them and dry them and they are never 100% dry.

Just when I think they are, I put a clean pair on, go to the gym and IF you sweat on your feet (which I have never done so before these socks) your feet will basically stay slightly moist until you take them off. If you wear them for a few your a day (like I did) you're creating the perfect storm for developing toenail fungus. This is my first time with it and I’m pretty disgusted. It affected 3 toes. Treatment so far has cost me about $1000.

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

Wanted to love

By Megan B., Santa Clarita, CA, Verified Reviewer

I bought a bundle of 4 Marino wool no-show socks. I love the design idea of a comfortable sock that stays put and I love the model of donating a pair for each pair sold. The socks feel great and are soft and comfortable. I loved them. I washed them once and they are already getting thin in the toe and are "shedding" and piling in an awful way. Really disappointed that they didn’t hold up to washing and are already looking like I will have a hole very soon after wearing them once. Not sure if I would recommend or not at this time.

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

Hi Megan,

My name is Kairi and I'm with the Customer Happiness Team here at Bombas.


Thanks so much for your feedback on our Merino Wool socks, although we're sorry to hear they’re thinning out. This is not a common occurrence, so I ensure you we will make the necessary steps to correct this.


Our 100% Happiness Guarantee will cover your replacement pairs or a refund. I'll be reaching out to you shortly via email to assist you further with the process.

Thank you, again.

Horrible horrible

By Brent T., Louisiana, Verified Reviewer

I was given a 12-pack as a gift. They are no different than a $4.00 pair of Nike socks but not as appealing visually. They were not comfortable and I had the ankle ones which I could not keep on in my shoes when I was jogging, which was absurd. One would think that a $100+ pack of socks would feel good and stay on. I contacted their customer service number and was basically told they were a gift so I was out of luck, I wasn’t going to ask for a receipt but I will say this. I was thinking of buying the no-shows but after the ones I got and the horrid customer service, NEVER AGAIN! I ended up donating the 10 pairs I didn’t wear to a shelter (yea, I said 10, after the first pair was horrible I tried a second pair and it was the same so it wasn’t a fluke). These are not worth the money, eventually, I had to tell the person that gave them because they were going to order some for someone else, glad I stopped that mistake. I’d you want to brag about how expensive your socks are these are great, but if you want wearability and comfort, Walmart is just as good.

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

Hey Brent,

My name is Tim and I'm with the Happiness Team here at Bombas. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, though I'm sorry to hear your socks were slipping. That's definitely not supposed to happen, and typically when we hear of socks slipping it's because they aren't the perfect size for you. Even if they were a gift you don't have the socks any longer, we have a 100% Happiness Guarantee that always covers free exchanges so we'd love to help you get set up with a style that'll fit and function just right for you.

At your convenience, please shoot us an email at hello@bombas.com so we can get things started. We're looking forward to hearing back from you soon!

Not what I expected

By Susan W., Florida, Verified Reviewer

Was excited to order these socks because of an upcoming trip to New York anticipating a lot of walking. Put them on with my Sperrys and within 30 minutes had to pull them up. So disappointed, especially for the price.

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

I love these socks

By Sandi W., Fish Haven, ID, Verified Reviewer

I sure don’t understand why others are having so many issues with holes in their Bombas. I have several pairs of the original style and the merino wool which I love to wear during our cold winters. I have washed them many times and have not had any thinning or holes. Bombas are just about the only socks I wear now (except for hiking and winter sports) because I like how they fit and feel. Yes, they are pricey but to me, they’re worth it although I wish they were made in America instead of China.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Kinda disappointed

By Deanka G., Jonesboro, GA, Verified Reviewer

I loved the idea of this being a charitable thing as well as a good thing for me. I've been hearing forever how these are the best socks you'll ever own, but I guess if you hear commercials enough, you start to believe. I don't know anyone who actually owns a pair. So I finally took the plunge and, I must say, I've worn socks that feel better. These just feel like regular socks to me. They aren't even that soft. And considering I paid over $100 for them? I expected better. I'm supremely disappointed.

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

Holes in the heel

By Don M., Las Cruces, NM, Verified Reviewer

I was originally very impressed with the comfort of the socks and have bought over 15 pairs. Then I started having lots of holes in the bottom of my heels. No other socks I wear have had this problem. The customer support from Bombas is really good and will give you replacements with minimal questions. I just do not like to make complaints and ask for replacement socks. They really need to fix how thin their heels are.

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

Holy holes

By David T., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

I love these socks but I've given up on them because of heel holes that appear after about a dozen wearings. At over $10 a pair for little sneaker socks that wear out fast, it is just not worth it.

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

Company Response from Bombas

May 20, 2020

Hi David,

Tim here from the Happiness Team at Bombas. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, though I'm sorry to hear about the holes that formed in your socks.

This isn't typical of our socks, so we'd be happy to look into this issue for you and help you out with some replacements. Please email us at hello@bombas.com at your convenience so we can get things started.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Not worth the money

By Diane A., Riverview, FL, Verified Reviewer

I purchased these socks for myself and swore by them! Then I purchased them for my husband, he wore a pair once and ended up with holes in the heels. He then purchased some more...giving them another chance and he just put a pair on today...NEW pair and they have a hole on the TOP of his right foot. They cost too much to only get half a wear out of them.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

Woman's, no problem

They are comfortable

Men's are too thin

Hole forms on the top or the heel

Hi Diane,

My name is Tim and I'm with the Happiness Team here at Bombas. Thank you so much for your review.

While I'm glad to hear your socks worked out well for you, I'm sorry that your husband's wore out prematurely. This certainly isn't typical of our socks, and we'd love to help you find a solution.

So that we can look into the issue and set you up with a free exchange, please shoot us an email to hello@bombas.com and we'll get things started.

Thank you again, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Shirts suck

By Don K., Concord, OH, Verified Reviewer

I don't know about their socks, but I do know their shirts shrink so you can't wear them anymore after two washes.

I need at least 120 characters? Bombas shirts suck! Bombas shirts suck!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

No “pros” were specified in this review

I don't like purchasing inferior products
