Bombas Socks Reviews - Are They Worth the Price?

Purchased 4 pairs of brown men's dress socks a couple of months ago. 1st pair got a hole in toe after 2 washings. Now a second pair has a rather large hole in the ankle area. Will not pay a premium price for socks that last a couple of months again.

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

The women's knee-high socks are fine, and don't slip down. In fact, they are so tight in the calf and upper leg they almost cut off the circulation! I am 5'7' and weigh 130lbs...so I don't think my calves are excessively large. They are so uncomfortable, I can't wear them.

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

I bought a bunch of these because I heard they were good. They are the worst socks. After a few washings, almost every pair has holes in the toes. They also seem to shrink, and feel tighter. I've never had this problem with any other socks. I would save your money and buy another brand. I spent well over $150.00 on regular and athletic socks just to have holey socks.

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

The socks are not high quality. I wore them for 18 holes and wished I had brought a backup because they were so thin and they actually bothered my feet. Very, very slow shipping. We will see how their return policy works. I bought four pairs and would not even consider giving them away.

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.

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.

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

I liked the Bombas socks but ended up paying 30% more because of duty, taxes and postal fees.

Please warn your Canadian customers of these extra costs unless it is under $20 CAD.

I purchased socks in the past and did not have to pay duty and it doesn’t seem fair now that I am charged shipping twice, once from your site and again from Canada Post.

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

Purchased the wool socks in the largest size. Socks are well made but unless your legs are really thin, these socks are way too tight. I even cut off 1/2 inch off the top to get rid of the elastic band at the very top and put two small slits in the socks but they were still too tight for my legs. So tight that the logo sewn into the sock left an indentation in my leg. So unless your legs are super skinny, I recommend you do not purchase.

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

I ordered eight pairs of these very expensive socks for Christmas and only received seven pairs. I tried to call them and remained on hold for over 15 minutes and never had anyone pick up. I would not recommend them unless you have nothing better to do with your money.

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

I recently purchased a few pairs of the Bombas women's crew socks due to the "giving back" policy of the company. In addition, they looked great. The socks are pricey, but comfort and warmth are important to me. I had ordered a four-pack. Delivery was quick, but I noticed that I only received three pairs. Due to the hectic nature of the holidays, I forgot to reach out to the company.

A few days later I received an email from Heath, one of the founders. He apologized for the mistake on my order in a really lovely email. He then gave me a $75.00 gift card! I was so surprised and grateful. I ordered more socks and received expedited shipping as well. The socks are really comfortable. The company's response is unprecedented and really impressed me. New customer for good! Try these socks!
