Review - BOMBAS SOCKS

fthunt — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 16:01:10 GMT

Just received my order and although they have great reviews - I'm not impressed - pricey too. I expected great comfort & support (their pitch). Was thinking good gift for holiday giving via mail. I have golf ankle foodies with more to offer than Bombas socks. Now I have 4 pair -?????? yippee (not even warm)

Thank you for the review. I have been debating about those socks for months, and you helped in my decision. I will not be ordering.

Thank you, again.

'foot -ies' (just fired spell check)

Decided to return - $48.24 absolutely not worth the money

You are welcome. Two years in research and development of this sock - they must have been doing other things!

At $10-12 a pair that is simply ridiculous for socks. I can get a package of 8 at Costco for the price of one pair of Bombas. I order some a few months ago but won’t again. To expensive for socks. I guess someone has to pay for all those pairs that they donate.

I recently ordered those socks but have not received them yet. I liked the fact that they donated a pair of socks for every pair purchased and that they came in sizes instead of one size fits all. Hope I like them!

My Bombas socks came today and I like them. I cannot wear one size fits all socks because I wear a size 12 shoe and they are too short and hurt my toes. I only wear socks to walk in the park with my friend and to yoga class so these will be fine and I am happy to provide socks to other who need them.

@fthunt

I’m not sure where you ordered from or why... or what you expected. No matter what hard core sales pitch you saw/heard, they are socks.

I have a pair (one) that I got a few years ago when I was buying new sneakers at a local store. They have different styles, etc.

Mind are comfortable but they don’t cook dinner or do the laundry for me and that is probably why I still only have one pair.

I have their low cut no shows, regular no shows, ankle and mid socks and love them!!! Regular “one size fit” is too small, and now I can order socks that actually fit and are well made. They cost no more than the plus size ankle socks I paid for at REI. They wash beautifully and the no shows actually stay on your heel with no issues. I think they are worth every penny. The padding under the foot is very comfortable on the one ankle sock style. The summer weight doesn’t have as much padding.

Well dang I just opened my bombas socks I ordered. Yep it’s ridiculous to pay that much for socks, but my ankle socks always wind up under my ankle...except for Puma brand. Well I run and take kick boxing and do buti yoga and stuff that requires hopping and jumping so I’m going to try one pair when I run because that is the true test. If these socks actually stay up above my ankles, I will keep them, but won’t order again due to cost. I too liked the idea of donating socks to homeless shelters.

I don't have any Bombas socks, but I think what gets people to pay the price is because they donate so many. I'd rather buy a bunch of less expensive socks and take them to the Salvation Army.

The price doubled when they were on Shark Tank and Daymond John got involved. I am not paying for someone else’s socks. I wear Copperfit. $19 for 7 pair and they wear like iron. Best socks I’ve ever owned.

I LOVE Bombas. I have Plantar fasciaitis in my right foot and broke my left foot years ago. Every sock I've ever purchased rolls down under the arch of my foot. Doesn't matter if it's an ankle sock or peds, within an hour I'm digging them out. Bomba's don't do that to me.

They aren't support socks but they do have support. Bought mine thru GMA deals and watch for them to come back every week.

I'll pay that much for SmartWool socks, for days on my feet outside in the elements. A good sock makes all the difference. I looked at the Bombas - I like the colors and the mission. They look well-made. I prefer a wool blend as I find cotton stays wet when I am active.

I've had co-workers who would think nothing of paying restaurant prices every day for lunch but derided me for spending $$$ for a pair of socks - if I'm on my feet all day, I need comfort and performance. I can make a lunch cheaply.

Are they sold by the company American Socks?

@Sweetbay magnolia, I will pay money for socks that I use for my exercise walking. My favorite brand for those is Balega Enduro socks. They were recommended by a local running shoe/accessories store in my area. They are on a par with Bombas's pricing, but I can usually find them with some kind of discount.

As for the poster who said that she didn't want to buy socks for others, referring to their charity, that was the reason that I checked out Bombas. I applaud them. But I'm sticking with my Balegas.

Yes -- agree with this 100%. Also, thanks for the Balegas rec; I'm currently in the market for new running socks.
