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 ordered their “wool” socks last winter. The socks are incredibly thin and did not last. I only got 4–6 months wear out of ALL 8 pairs I ordered. If I am buying “wool” socks I expect them to last at least 1–2 years. Shameful.

It’s fantastic that money is raised for homeless shelters, and socks are donated to the most needy. But the price of these socks is three times what you would pay in the shop - so it’s not the Bombas company that is being altruistic! Poor quality with a plastic feel, not one ounce of softness. Very tight fit and actually uncomfortable to wear. Buy a pair of nice socks from a regular shop and donate the money you’ll save to charity.
Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Honestly not much, maybe the color choices?
Feel like plastic
Not soft or warm
Too tight and uncomfortable

The wrong socks were delivered today. When I called customer service, they informed me the SQU number in the system was incorrect and they shipped the wrong socks. They shipped lady crew socks when I ordered men's ankle socks. When I asked them to ship me the socks I ordered, they told me to call back in 3 days to see if they have fixed the bug in the system. This is horrible customer service. Bombas messed up my order and I have to continue to call them to inquire if they have fixed their system.

I have so many Bombas socks I have lost count! You wear them, wash them, and they look brand new. They wear like iron! The only reason I bought so many is that they keep coming out with awesome new colors.
I gave my sister some of mine and she is now a fan! The next person to convert is our mom. She wears her little white sneakers in the summer with no socks at all. I am going to get her some of the no-shows. We will be a Bombas family for sure!
And I love the buy one and one gets donated to homeless shelters!

I love the comfort of Bombas socks. So much so that I purchased like 20 pairs right off the bat. However, the durability of these is horrible. The plain white and black are far worse than the thicker marl variety. However, within a couple of months, all of my socks ended up wearing through in either the big toe or the balls of my feet. I’ve owned many brands that last so long that I throw them out because they just start looking old, while I’ve had to toss my Bombas socks even though they still looked relatively new minus the holes.
To their credit, I did receive 2 replacement pairs after calling customer service. However, I didn’t bother to reach out again after pair after pair kept failing.

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

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.

These socks work and are comfortable but they do not last at all. Six times of use and you will have wear holes, etc. Way overpriced for something that is worthless after wearing them just five or six times. If this site would allow for pictures I could post many.
Length of Use: 3–6 months
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Pros and Cons
Comfortable
They work, but develop holes after just a few uses
They do not last
Way too expensive for something that will not last
