In-depth Review of Bombas Socks

Construction

Bombas works to create socks that are engineered with sustainable materials that are soft, comfortable, and supportive. Bombas socks come in all kinds of lengths and colors. They’re also available in various sizes for men and women.

Here are some of the more common features that you can find on most pairs.

Material

Each pair is different, but most of Bombas’s socks are made with a blend of recycled cotton or Merino wool. In selecting materials and blends for their socks, Bombas strives to choose from high-quality materials that are moisture-wicking and comfortable.

Depending on the purpose of the socks, they come with a different blend of fabric and different features and thicknesses. The All-Purpose Performance Calf Socks for instance are made with a blend of polyester, nylon, cotton, and elastane. These are best for all kinds of activities. They’re thicker, however than the Hybrid Ribbed Quarter Socks. Both have the same types of fabric but are made with different blends depending on what they’re made for.

Bombas is also a Certified B-Corp so you can trust that they are environmentally conscious.

Arch Support

Bombas includes their “Honeycomb Arch Support” in most of their socks. Visually on each pair of socks, this is seen as a honeycomb-designed stitched pattern. When you’re wearing the socks, the stitching works to gently hug your midfoot without making your feet feel constricted. I personally love how this wraps around my arches to provide a bit of support. The Honeycomb Arch Support is a little more prevalent in the All-Purpose Performance Socks than the Ankle Socks and Hybrid Ribbed Quarter Socks.

The arch support wraps around the entire mid part of the foot on the All-Purpose Performance Calf Socks.

Toe

Most stocks have a seam around the toes. The cheap socks that I’ve gotten in bulk have stitching around the toes. If you look at most average socks, the material is a different color to make the toe area stand out. The stitching also often takes up less space than most people’s toes do. So, when you put them on, you might find that stitching is placed over some of your toes, rather than around all of them.

Bombas Socks have a seamless toe that uses a special knitting that you can’t feel on your feet. That way you don’t feel anything over your toes and there isn’t any unevenness in the socks.

Heel/Soles

The Y-Stitched Heel on Bombas Socks works to fit around your heel to keep the sock in place and to fit your feet more securely. This stitching along with Bombas’s various sizes helps to make their socks work for most people. I wear a women’s size 7 and a size small fits me really well. Sometimes the heels of socks bunch on me, but Bombas Socks cradle my heels without being too snug or having slack. All of our team found that Bombas fit true to size for all of us.

Some of Bombas Socks have more cushioning in the soles than others. Most pairs have cushioned footbeds that help give you a little more padding under your foot for various activities. We found the cushioning to feel supportive without feeling too plush, thick, or excessive.

Cuff

Our team got different sock lengths to test out the cuffs. The All-Purpose Calf Socks fit like other calf socks I have at home at the cuff. The cuff fit snugly so I didn’t have to worry about the socks slouching as I ran, but not too slug to feel like they were digging into my legs. I can also fold them in half if I wanted to.

The Hybrid Ribbed Quarter Socks have more breathability in the cuff which was nice for their length. We really liked the Blister Tab on the Ankle Socks. The back part of the cuff felt thicker than other socks which really helped to prevent blisters and rubbing.

The blister tab was secure without being too loose to fall down.

Functionality & Performance

As far as performance, all the Bombas Socks that we tried were comfortable and fit as expected. Considering these socks are pricier than the average, we expected them to fit well. I will say I like how soft the material is and how different each of the socks is.

The Hybrid Ribbed Quarter Socks were a lot thinner than the All-Purpose.

Even though the All-Purpose is thicker, it has Hex Tec that makes it moisture-wicking, so my feet never felt hot.

For running on treadmills and running errands, all of the socks held up well and kept our feet from feeling sweating. We found all three pairs to be pretty moisture-wicking to keep our feet dry, too.

Bombas Socks have really thoughtful features like the arch support and non-digging cuffs, as well as the Blister Tabs. We especially liked how the Honeycomb Arch Support System didn’t constrict our toes from being able to spread. The positioning of the arch support is further down the foot and the seamless toe is a nice touch to help encourage toe spreading, too.

One thing we really like is that you can wear either sock on either foot. Even though the All-Purpose socks have labeled left and right socks, I’ve found that either fit on my feet well. Each sock isn’t specifically cut for one to fit your right foot and the other for your left foot. This way, if you buy a multi-pack you can mix and match them. I also think this allows Bombas Socks to fit better for more people since all feet are different.

Warranty

Bombas has a really cool Happiness Guarantee where they’ll replace or refund lost, damaged, or worn socks. Plus, when you purchase a pair of Bombas Socks, they donate a pair to someone in need. How cool is that?!
