What’s with these Bomba Socks? Scam?

0/10. Ho hum.

They suck. I bought some a couple of years ago. Flimsy, tight. Loose threads get caught all the time. Thorlos are my favorite.

Just bought five pair. Testing them out now. Seem to be OK, nothing to write home about.

Hate them. Too tight.

Patti Smith wears them. She calls them her "Bee Socks."

Has anyone tried their compression socks?

.....

Instagram/social media phenom brands usually suck

Didn't they get their big break after appearing on Shark Tank?

I'd never heard of them until my parents were out West visiting, and I took them to Savers (they both love a deal). There was a whole rack of them for $1.99/pair, and my mum said that was a steal. So we got about 10 pairs between us, and I wore some to work once they left town. Savers has everything 50% off on Mondays, so I went back and got even more. They are a bit tight, as someone else said, but they're good work socks. I stand up x7 hours/shift, and they offer more support than other socks.

They're over $11/pr, plus shipping. Their gimmick is just like Tom's shoes -- buy our mundane, everyday thing for 2x as much, and we'll donate that thing or something sorta like it to someone somewhere else, then we still keep our profit, write off the donation that you actually paid for and look like saints all the while!

who cares?

The CEO is a douche. He said he would get a Bombas tattoo once they sold one million pairs. Now he sports a gigantic tattoo of their logo on his forearm. So unprofessional.

I have to admit I actually like them.

Was getting a lot of blisters from wearing certain footwear; I no longer have that issue with their ankle socks since my socks no longer 'sink' down into my shoes anymore.

Also like the fact they come in 3 different sizes, as opposed to the generic one size '4-10' we are all supposed to comfortably fit in.

I do agree with R14 though, I just try to ignore the fact I supported a douche-bro like that with my purchases.

[quote]If they’ve sold so many socks, how come I’ve never heard of them til now.

I seem to hear their commercials literally fucking everywhere...TV, radio, online all day long.

I can tell by the commercial that theses socks suck. The sock is barely featured, it's all about how "charitable" the company claims to be. Your mediocre sock won't feel better on my beautiful feet because you are donating to charity.
