Do I want them? I’ve been wearing cheap socks and they’ve been getting holes like CRAZY. I’m working out 5 days a week so happy to treat myself if bombas are worth it even though the price makes me a little 😱.
Are they good? There are so many options!! Which ones do I want?
I’ve been trying to support more “good” companies lately but if this is a total waste of money tell me that too.
Performance? Original? All purpose?
I know I want ankle height.
I spin, go for walks and walk around the house in them.
A shelter I work with does indeed get big shipments of Bombas socks to give out to patrons. They aren't lying about the buy one/give one program. They are a hit because they're colorful and come with tags so they're clearly new.

I’ve liked mine fine. I think the company does good stuff. DH said for the price he’s not buying them again. He has gotten holes very quickly. He wears them for running mostly.
I just ordered some more Bc their pride ones are so cute- but the original 5 pack I have from 3/4 years ago are still going strong! I wear them for running, spinning and ORangetheory.
Yes, they’re amazing. Get the kind specifically for running (performance). I’ve never had holes.
These are my favorite too! I have small feet and like that they have easy sizes and the small fit me so well, as most socks end up with too much/extra fabric.
I love mine and have had no issues with them wearing out. I wear them regularly and have had them for well over a year now with no issues. A few pairs are older than that. I reach for them before any other socks in my drawer.
My Smartwool running socks are my best, most durable workout socks, they’ve lasted a decade before getting holes. I do love Bombas’ corporate mission, but I am 100% dedicated to smartwool.
I don’t like them. I wanted to but I don’t. I have some low cut ones they are fine but nothing special. Then I have some knee socks that I practically have to have surgically removed. My ankles/calves are probably the thinnest part of my body and these are so so tight. I don’t know who they are sized for.
FYI, the first Bombas I ordered were the regular ones, and I hated them. They felt stiff and bunched up and were just awful. I couldn’t understand the Bombas hype. Then about a year later I tried the performance ones and in my opinion they’re a million times better. So if you hate the regular ones, it’s not just you.
My H loves Bombas socks so much he bought me six pairs for Christmas last year 😅
I do like them. We both have the performance style, and neither of us have ever had holes. H uses his far more than I use mine. In general, I hate wearing shoes. During the summer, I have to have a really compelling reason to smother my feet. Usually I'll wear sandals everywhere. They are very comfy socks during the winter though 🙂
