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.
