Bombas Socks Reviews - Are They Worth the Price?

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.

I have had these socks for almost a year and they are my prized possessions. I have the cushioned on shows and tri-block ankle socks and LOVE them. I love the comfort, the softness and how thick they are. After a year of wearing my other ones, I just placed a new order! Can't wait!

Bombas socks are the most comfortable and best-fitting sock I have ever found. The customer service is beyond compare and will do everything to make sure you are happy. And...you are helping others less fortunate than you. I could not give Bombas enough praise.

My family with two athletic teens have ordered three times from Bombas in the last four years. The gap indicates how durable we’ve found the product. After a thrashing, the socks wear out after about two years. With light use, never. Personally I mix and match with synthetic or merino socks depending on how much wicking I need on the day. For families with a conscience, this is the product from a B Corp whose values we share. Knowing that there is a homeless person wearing these good socks that we have effectively donated is cool. Thanks for very good socks, sold with love.

We fitted the whole family and even Mr. Fussbucket is happy. We had a few problems and every time it was resolved. Just going to order more today. Expensive, maybe, but they are very comfortable and for a diabetic, it works awesome.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

I bought Bombas socks for my niece and granddaughter who wear socks EVERY day as I do, will order for me next. I hope the homeless are grateful for what you do, thank you.

I bought a pair at Dick's and they were nice, so I went online and bought 6 more pairs. They are crap. I responded to a review and Bombas offered to replace them. It's been a month and I have still not received the replacements. They are stringy and falling apart after a month. (I wish I could post a pic here.) Not worth the money and the 100% guarantee seems to be a lie. I have socks from Walmart that have lasted much longer.

Ripped the second time I wore them. Got them as a gift. Wore once, tore the second time I put them on. A lot of money for a poorly made product that wears well.
