Bombas socks

GoneButNotForgotten — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 18:25:58 GMT

I started wearing these about 6 months ago and I love them but I don't think I'll be buying any more. The reason is that they wear out pretty fast. Right now I can see my toes through the bottoms of my socks. I know it's because I bought the merino wool ones, for about $20+ per.

Our local Costco has merino socks that are just as soft an wear out just as fast for $10.00; that's where I'll buy replacements.

Yes, I agree. They wear out fast. I have the no socks version from them. Love them. But they are about the only kind I wear of socks. They make every kind of socks.

I currently do not own any Bombas socks but have been seeing them advertised everywhere because lately I do need some new socks and I've been looking online.

There used to be a brand called 'Gold Toe' and I liked those. When I was a runner I used to buy Thor-Lo and liked those. I don't want plain old anklet tube/gym socks but I think I want a sock you can see, not one of those that just fits the foot.

A friend gave me some socks she purchased at Costco some years ago, wool ones, and they lasted quite awhile, but I'm not in the market for wool where I now live. If you find any nice socks, let us know.

Gosh, I'm sorry that you're having trouble with your Bombas socks wearing out. I've not experienced that at all.

I have several pairs of the merino wool socks, both crew and athletic, that are nearly 2 years old and they're just as great as the day I got them. While I do wash them in the machine, I never put them in the dryer.

I also have their cotton athletic socks and I don't think I could kill those if I wanted to.

I bought a pair of Bombas sox no-slip slippers which I really like. I hope they wear well because they were not inexpensive.

I have a few Bombas and have had no problem with them wearing out. They are very comfortable. Definitely not cheap, but nice to wear.

I bought some although not the merino wool and had no problems with them. I do prefer the silver infused pair I recently bought from Boomernaturals. They recently started offering socks.

I love Bombas socks because they come in sizes. I don't wear socks everyday but I have never worn a pair out!
