Not worth the money

By Matt I., Columbia, MO, Verified Reviewer

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

Pros and Cons

Comfortable

Good fit

Durability

Hi Matt,

My name is Cory and I'm a member of the Happiness Team here at Bombas.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us though we're so sorry to hear that this has happened. This is the opposite of the experience we would want you to have with Bombas so again, we cannot apologize enough. Since this is not normal for our socks, we'd love to help out with replacement pairs under our Happiness Guarantee.

Not only do we stand by our products but we also stand by you, our customer, and would love to help turn this around. Please reach out to the Happiness Team here: http://bit.ly/bombashelp

We look forward to hearing from you soon, Matt. Thank you for your feedback, support, and patience.

Low quality/high price

By Joseph P., Castleton, NY, Verified Reviewer

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

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

Pros and Cons

Customer service

Poor quality

High price

Second set of Bombas socks are on the way!

By Lillian R., New York, Verified Reviewer

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

I have a love/hate relationship with these socks...

By Suzanne S., Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

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

Great exchange policy

By Susan F., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

Ankle socks

By Judy J., Huntington, NY, Verified Reviewer

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

I'm glad to hear the No Shows have been working out for you, but I'm sorry that you haven't had as much luck with the ankle socks. We're not happy until you're happy, so we'd love to help you out with exchanging those ankle socks for another size or a different style entirely.

I'll be following up with you via email to help get things started, and I'm looking forward to connecting with you!

Best compression socks

By Donald L., Roseburg, OR, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

I love them but I also don't

By Rose G., Hartford, CT, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

Horrible Christmas Gift

By Michele W., Everett, MA, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

Low Cut No Show socks

By Pamela G., Centreville, VA, Verified Reviewer

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!

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

Socks

By Sarah P., Harrisburg, PA, Verified Reviewer

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.

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