Bombas Socks Reviews - Are They Worth the Price?

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

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

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

The socks are as comfortable as advertised. However, like so many other reviews, ALL of my socks quickly developed holes in the heels. Every single pair, in the exact same place! Yes, Bombas will replace them, but it's a pain to constantly have to request and wait for replacements. I don't think it's too much to ask that socks last more than a few months. Especially when they cost as much as Bombas.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

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

First pair that I put on instantly ripped in the ankle when I pulled them on. Holes developed after a month or so in the heel and toe areas. Notified customer service and they sent me new socks, but they were just as bad. They are definitely not worth the high price.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

I received 3 knee-high and 3 crew-cut socks for Christmas gifts. I remember seeing these socks on Shark Tank and was happy to have received them. These socks are brightly colored and I liked the unique designs. They were soft and finally, the toe box was big enough for my long toes to all fit comfortably in.

However, after only wearing the knee-high socks 1 or 2 times a week the heel in both socks had big holes in a pair the same day I was wearing them. I was surprised as I took off my first sneaker to see the size of the hole and then even more surprised in removing the other sneaker. The socks were pilling but I didn’t expect them to actually be on the verge of breaking through on one sock but let alone both at the same time. I was concerned about the durability as they were pilling and were getting see-through on the sides of the big toe.

Overall these socks are overpriced and absolutely not durable. Since I received these as a gift I’m not out any money but wouldn’t recommend to anyone to buy these socks. My other knee-highs are also pilling and showing signs of wear. I haven’t worn the crew socks much yet as the weather is just getting nice in the northeast. I’ll stick with Hanes socks as I’ve had them for many years with no problems.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

I have been buying these socks for my family and friends since 2019. I really love the feel and fit but the heels get holes in them quicker than less expensive socks that I own. Very disappointing, I have had to throw away almost half of the socks I have purchased. I do recommend them to others but with a warning on the durability vs. the cost.

Length of Use: 2+ years

I actually have no problem with fit. I checked the size guide and ordered accordingly. The gym socks (ankle socks) fit great and never slipped.

And I also purchased over the calf and half calf...so far pretty good. I really can't complain, easy to spot a pair in my laundry (why do plain socks always go missing?). I have only washed a few times...so no real loosening or fraying yet. I wanted to have more pairs in other colors and got some for a friend who spends a lot of time outdoors. When I placed my first order, I used the Amazon Pay option (second order used the PayPal option), and the first order came in a timely manner.

I do appreciate that they donate socks, and the colorful design and one friend's endorsement on how much he liked their gym socks is why I decided to purchase.

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

First off, I love the feel and fit of these socks. I was a solid non-sock wearer and these made me like socks again. I really like the no-show, not too thick and a true no show. They are expensive, but I thought worth the price. The low cut no-shows, however, do not stay up in regular shoes like they should. And both my husband and I had socks that developed holes in the toe pretty quickly. Also, if you purchase Bombas for everyone in the house, it is impossible to tell whose is whose as they are not labeled by size. Very frustrating. That being said, I would still buy them since I have not found any others I like as well.

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

I needed to exchange my socks. Bombas did my exchange with and requested that I either regift the socks or donate them.

I donated two pairs and gave two pairs to my mother-in-law.

Thank you Bombas for such a great product.

I bought the 12-pack that has 3 different type socks. After wearing each style I found I really only like two of the styles. The no show socks are my very favorite and I wish that I had bought a 6 pack and left the ankle sock out. I loved the way they fit and the softness of them.

The ankle socks I did not like at all. The ankle part is tight and I found myself tugging on them the whole time I was wearing them. I wish I could have sent only them back and exchanged them for the no shows.

But, all in all, the ones that I like I really really like and can see myself in the future ordering more of the no shows.

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