Bombas Socks Reviews - Are They Worth the Price?

I made my first purchase of compression socks from Bombas and they are the BEST I have worn. I've tried many different brands, some better than others, and Bombas are the most comfortable I have tried. They are also easier to put on than most brands and the Bombas price was GREAT. Being able to afford compression socks that are high quality are a win. I'm 77 years old and have edema that requires me to wear compression socks. These are the only ones I'll buy in the future. I also love the Bombas buy one, give one program. Thank you to Robert of Shark Tank for the mention.

I took the plunge with Bombas socks over a year and a half ago and have bought many more pairs since. They are comfortable. I don't find that they shrink at all. The sport ones are really good. But my frustration is that they get holes in the toes and heels, sometimes very quickly. And they are pricy, so replacement adds up quickly. The sport ones are a tighter fit, but not in a bad way, and I think they hold up a bit better. These are my everyday socks. I just wish I wouldn't keep getting holes in them. That is making me look for another brand now as I need to replace so many of my Bombas.

These socks were a Christmas gift, sadly. I was given knee socks, I have skinny legs. The top ribbing of the socks is so tight, does not stretch in any fashion, it is CONSTRICTIVE. It left welts and stung where the sock rests right below the knee, where the ribbing sits.

Again, I have skinny legs.

These are the only low cut no show socks that actually stay on my feet! Every other brand I’ve tried slip off my heel into my shoes. These are amazingly comfortable, soft, and well made. I’ve had them for several years now and my big toe hasn’t worn a hole through them! That’s a first for me. I love these socks!

My husband was gifted 4 pairs of your socks last Christmas. He LOVES them. He finds them to be the most comfortable socks he’s ever worn. Sadly, one of the socks developed a hole already. Considering they were approximately 3 months old, we found this disappointing.

Their Merino Wool calf socks had the highest wool content I could find so I purchased a 4-pack of Women's Originals calf socks in February 2020. The calf part kept sliding down so I requested replacements a month later.

I requested replacements only this time with 2 of the pairs being the solid colors as I thought it was a factory defect with Originals. The solids fit looser (even being the same size) and the calf portion slid down more. In 6-10 wears, every pair either got a heel hole or the wool in the heel/ankle fell out in tufts leaving only the nylon thread mesh.

I'm waiting for their stock to replenish as they're out of stock on most wool colors in my size so that they can send me yet another replacement set. I've resorted to sewing the holes closed for now.

As long as Bombas will replace them, I guess I'll have to keep asking for new pairs until I get my money's worth as it seems their quality control at the factories need work.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bombas has resolved my issues.

Thank you.

When I first received my pairs of Bombas socks I really enjoyed how comfortable the socks are on my feet. Unfortunately, only after a few months of normal wear, the bottom heels began to get holes or just lose their material (eventually leading to holes). I've had lots of socks over the years and none have worn out so quickly - these weren't even stressed in any way except normal walking and machine washing.

The first pair I returned and got a replacement but now the other 4 pairs I got are all starting to get holes within a year. As much as I appreciate the comfort, I likely won't spend the money on these in the future. Again, these socks are mixed in with a bunch of my other socks so they weren't getting worn on a daily basis - at most maybe once a week for one day.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

I ordered a pair of slippers in medium, following size recommendations. They were huge. No one answers their phone and you are told to go online. I forgot my password and went online to change it. They said I would get an email with a code. The code never came, even after trying 3 times. I don’t know if they are a scam, or just don’t care. Never order from them if there is a chance you may have to return.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

I saw a big hype on designer socks. My 7-year-old started to wear tennis shoes more. I remembered socks being uncomfortable at times. So I bought Bombas socks. I have a baby on the way and wanted to get matching Sesame Street socks. I received the package and it was cute but the socks were only okay. For the price of one, you can buy a more comfortable pack of Hanes.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

I love how Bombas no-show socks fit and feel but at $12 a pair these fall apart. I purchased them since they have a “lifetime” guarantee BUT it was a HUGE hassle to get the replacements and they shorted me on those. I feel like the quality has gone down even further because the replacements didn’t last 6 months and after the hassle on the first round, I’m looking for a new brand.

Length of Use: 2+ years
