Bombas Socks Reviews - Are They Worth the Price?

I can't speak to the quality because I've only worn them once and will probably just shelve them. I have larger feet, size 12 to 13, and I bought five pairs of the Extra Large socks, the largest they have.

Even those are too small. I'd guess about a size 10 to 11. They aren't comfortable to wear, and the cotton material is thin and scratchy, not the premier cotton I was led to expect.

The grocery store Gold Toe cotton socks are thick, fluffy and very comfortable and I'll choose them every day over the Bombas. Oh, and a fraction of the price.

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

Seems like good socks, BUT, I did NOT receive what I ordered and I CANNOT reach them. They do not respond to phone or emails. Ripped off. I would be very wary of ordering from them.

OMG, they TALK such a good game!

January 2019 - they are "overwhelmed" (from WSJ and other newspaper ad blitz?). There is still something to be said for being prepared...

Caveat emptor! If you have ANY questions, ANY problems, you will meet a delay with EMAIL ONLY customer "service." Their website FAQ are cutesy (patronizing if you have a real problem, like fit - "we add extra padding, but it isn't too much, like Goldilocks, just right"). No. They are NOT "just right." I cannot wear ONE of the pairs ordered with shoes or boots. They are way too tight in Uggs, bike shoes or any other.

They must be fit to 16-year-olds - TIGHT ribbing on the knee socks (S) and a little larger on (M), but then the foot is too big. 7.5-8 is a Small, possibly a Medium, with higher calf, hitting above the knee on a 5'1" person (me).

Nor does my husband's order fit - he is size 13, and they must have designed that around a teen as well. Cuts off circulation - he is a golfer, STRONG legs, but socks for teen calves in size 13?

Save your money and aggravation! Make a donation of socks to your local charity and save the hassle. Purchase socks that FIT from a vendor with PHONE option for clarification and assistance.

These socks appear to be sturdy and well made, but I find them uncomfortably tight. I will not order again. I believe that pretty much covers it, but HighYa will not post this review unless I submit at least 180 characters.

I would like to start by simply stating I had high hopes for these socks. I was a big advocate for spending a little more money knowing that the company was promising to donate the same number of socks. However, as a product, I was expecting a more comfortable sock and one that was living up to the hype that the company was building it up to be.

I purchased the no-show cushioned and no cushioned socks. My major complaint about both options is that the socks are too tight in the toe box area. I get that they must be tighter to keep the socks from slipping but eventually the nonslip wears off and they are constantly falling off. I’ve tried both hand washing and delicate cycle washes to preserve the anti-slip but it’s inevitable that they lose their grip and become useless. I tried to go on the website to voice my complaint but realized that they don’t allow anyone to write a review about their product and their customer service department is practically useless.

I don’t recommend anyone purchase this type of sock until the company can address the issues and make changes to their product and service.

My socks are too big. I wear a size 9 shoe, ordered the medium, and the heel is up my leg. Maybe you should adjust your size chart. I can still use them and would like to keep them, I do not want to send them back. I'm already in $15 for the socks. This is why you buy one to try before buying a multi-pack.

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

No-show socks slip down. Worked well but after a few times wearing, the socks slip off my heel and end up bunched under my arch. For the price, they are not a good value. The fit is good and color choices are great, but the bottom line is the socks slip down and you end up having to pick at them and pulling back over your heel. At $92 for a 12-pack of socks, seems like there isn't much value there.

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

I really wanted to be able to give the socks 5 stars many because I Iike companies that give back to the community and the less fortunate. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed appointed in my "no show socks" that I purchased. I bought a size medium as that is what the package recommended. The socks are much too big. My shoe size is between an 8 and 8.5. The heel is well past my heel and when I put them where they are supposed to go/fit, they bunch up either in the heel or down around my toes.

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

Ordered one 4-pack mens lightweight no shows and one ankle tri-block, both styles in XL based off of their recommendations.

After receiving socks with much anticipation, tried them on and definitely liked the way that they felt on my feet. There was one problem, the socks were too big despite my wearing a size 13 shoe. There was approximately 1/2" of fabric in the heel area that did fit the heel. I could pull it up on the heel quite a ways, up near the achilles tendon, but then it was no longer a no-show and if I pulled it down to fit my heel there was this bunched up fabric under my heel. I know they say that there will be some shrinkage after washing them but don't know if they will shrink that much.

I immediately took a picture with the socks on and e-mailed customer service about this issue. Next day received a phone call and they told me not to worry about sending them back, that they would send me out a new order on both now shows and the ankle sock, which by the way looked more like a crew sock than an ankle sock because of the size, in size large. I also stressed that they may need to revisit their sizing chart.

Received replacements about 4 days later in size large. They were a better fit, still had "some" excess fabric in the heel area of the no-shows which hopefully will go away after washing them and ankle sock was a much better fit.

Because they were no shows, I didn't think that there would be any problems with wearing them with my boat shoes. Wrong! These things look like ankle socks when worn with boat shoes. So once again I take a picture and expressed my disappointment with the socks.

An associate e-mails me 2 days later and tells me that they recommend the "extra low cut no-shows" for wearing with boat shoes. I'm sorry, at the prices that they charge I am not going to buy all of these different socks to be worn with certain shoes. Furthermore, I actually have 4 pairs of no-shows that I bought at a popular big box store before I had ever heard of Bombas and they don't slip and I can wear them with my athletic shoes or boat shoes or other low cut casual shoes and they don't show.

They sent me a 4-pack of the extra low no-shows in a size large and they are absolutely horrible. They come up a little high on the heel, pretty close to the Achilles, but within 10 minutes of walking, they have slipped down under my heel, absolutely worthless.

Appreciate that Bombas helps with the donations but the product for the price is not what "I" expected.

I have purchased both dress socks and calf socks and all I can say is it’s hit and miss. The socks are extremely comfortable and feel great, however, most of the pairs have holes in the heels. There is a problem with how these socks are made. You are basically just playing the lottery every time you buy a pair. The way the heels are sewn together is the problem. Straight out of the box some pairs already have holes, wear them a couple of times holes holes holes. Too expensive for these issues.

I bought a bundle of 4 Marino wool no-show socks. I love the design idea of a comfortable sock that stays put and I love the model of donating a pair for each pair sold. The socks feel great and are soft and comfortable. I loved them. I washed them once and they are already getting thin in the toe and are "shedding" and piling in an awful way. Really disappointed that they didn’t hold up to washing and are already looking like I will have a hole very soon after wearing them once. Not sure if I would recommend or not at this time.
