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 these socks

By Sandi W., Fish Haven, ID, Verified Reviewer

I sure don’t understand why others are having so many issues with holes in their Bombas. I have several pairs of the original style and the merino wool which I love to wear during our cold winters. I have washed them many times and have not had any thinning or holes. Bombas are just about the only socks I wear now (except for hiking and winter sports) because I like how they fit and feel. Yes, they are pricey but to me, they’re worth it although I wish they were made in America instead of China.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would 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

Great product and super customer service

By Rex S., Lindon, UT, Verified Reviewer

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.

Great socks!

By Donna K., Kentucky, Verified Reviewer

Bought some for Christmas last year for gifts and myself. Absolutely love them. I have worn them a lot and they still look like they did when I bought them. I got tired of buying cheap socks that would fall down on my heel. Love them.

Pros and Cons

Did not fall down back of my heel

Hold up well after washing

Price, but worth it, plus they donate a pair

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

Pros and Cons

No seams to feel

Colors

On vacation, they took a while to dry hanging out

Worth every single penny!

By Linda T., Eliot, ME, Verified Reviewer

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!

Close to loving them

By Ray B., Philadelphia, PA, Verified Reviewer

For me, it's a tale of two worlds. Their dress socks are amazing. Great arch support, they stay up and in place, hold their form, and seem to wash well. The first wash there was significantly more fading but that has leveled out and they still look great after a few washes. They are cushioned and have substance to them and are well constructed. I also have Tommy John dress socks and Bombas edges them out due to the substance of the sock and the higher level of arch support.

Here's where I'm conflicted...their ankle socks aren't as great. The arch support isn't as pronounced and the construction is not nearly as solid. After one washing I had one develop a hole in the seam where the heal ties into the side of the sock. I didn’t think much of it due to their warranty (although it was my very first pair, so the first impression wasn't great).

I contacted customer service thinking one email, due to their no questions asked...etc., etc., you’ll love these...guaranteed. It took five emails; me taking a picture to submit to prove it, and was otherwise a burdensome experience. When I’m paying more premium prices part of the deal is premium service...I didn’t feel like that was the case, and honestly nearly killed my relationship with them. But that said, they did ship a replacement.

The ankle socks also seemed to fade SIGNIFICANTLY worse than their dress socks and don’t look overly impressive after a couple of washings. They are VERY comfortable, however, but for the price I feel there are better alternatives for ankle socks. Shipping is PAINFULLY slow as well so don’t be in a hurry to receive them...and their inventory always seems to be an issue as my size is rarely available for the socks I want.

So why 4 stars? Their dress socks are THAT good and make up for the other pain areas.

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

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
