Great product and super customer service

By Rex S., Lindon, UT, Verified Reviewer

Shirts suck

By Don K., Concord, OH, Verified Reviewer

I don't know about their socks, but I do know their shirts shrink so you can't wear them anymore after two washes.

I need at least 120 characters? Bombas shirts suck! Bombas shirts suck!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Not worth the money

By Diane A., Riverview, FL, Verified Reviewer

I purchased these socks for myself and swore by them! Then I purchased them for my husband, he wore a pair once and ended up with holes in the heels. He then purchased some more...giving them another chance and he just put a pair on today...NEW pair and they have a hole on the TOP of his right foot. They cost too much to only get half a wear out of them.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

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

Pros and Cons

Woman's, no problem

They are comfortable

Men's are too thin

Hole forms on the top or the heel

So that we can look into the issue and set you up with a free exchange, please shoot us an email to hello@bombas.com and we'll get things started.

Thank you again, and we hope to hear from you soon!

Holy holes

By David T., Denver, CO, Verified Reviewer

I love these socks but I've given up on them because of heel holes that appear after about a dozen wearings. At over $10 a pair for little sneaker socks that wear out fast, it is just not worth it.

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

Company Response from Bombas

Hi David,

Tim here from the Happiness Team at Bombas. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, though I'm sorry to hear about the holes that formed in your socks.

This isn't typical of our socks, so we'd be happy to look into this issue for you and help you out with some replacements. Please email us at hello@bombas.com at your convenience so we can get things started.

Hope to hear from you soon!

A very good product with a conscience

By John M., New Zealand, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

Holes in the heel

By Don M., Las Cruces, NM, Verified Reviewer

I was originally very impressed with the comfort of the socks and have bought over 15 pairs. Then I started having lots of holes in the bottom of my heels. No other socks I wear have had this problem. The customer support from Bombas is really good and will give you replacements with minimal questions. I just do not like to make complaints and ask for replacement socks. They really need to fix how thin their heels are.

Bottom Line: No, I would not 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

Horrible horrible

By Brent T., Louisiana, Verified Reviewer

I was given a 12-pack as a gift. They are no different than a $4.00 pair of Nike socks but not as appealing visually. They were not comfortable and I had the ankle ones which I could not keep on in my shoes when I was jogging, which was absurd. One would think that a $100+ pack of socks would feel good and stay on. I contacted their customer service number and was basically told they were a gift so I was out of luck, I wasn’t going to ask for a receipt but I will say this. I was thinking of buying the no-shows but after the ones I got and the horrid customer service, NEVER AGAIN! I ended up donating the 10 pairs I didn’t wear to a shelter (yea, I said 10, after the first pair was horrible I tried a second pair and it was the same so it wasn’t a fluke). These are not worth the money, eventually, I had to tell the person that gave them because they were going to order some for someone else, glad I stopped that mistake. I’d you want to brag about how expensive your socks are these are great, but if you want wearability and comfort, Walmart is just as good.

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

Hey Brent,

My name is Tim and I'm with the Happiness Team here at Bombas. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, though I'm sorry to hear your socks were slipping. That's definitely not supposed to happen, and typically when we hear of socks slipping it's because they aren't the perfect size for you. Even if they were a gift you don't have the socks any longer, we have a 100% Happiness Guarantee that always covers free exchanges so we'd love to help you get set up with a style that'll fit and function just right for you.

At your convenience, please shoot us an email at hello@bombas.com so we can get things started. We're looking forward to hearing back from you soon!

Kinda disappointed

By Deanka G., Jonesboro, GA, Verified Reviewer

I loved the idea of this being a charitable thing as well as a good thing for me. I've been hearing forever how these are the best socks you'll ever own, but I guess if you hear commercials enough, you start to believe. I don't know anyone who actually owns a pair. So I finally took the plunge and, I must say, I've worn socks that feel better. These just feel like regular socks to me. They aren't even that soft. And considering I paid over $100 for them? I expected better. I'm supremely disappointed.

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
