Pros
- my years old post about Bombas on r/BuyItForLife
- I agree- mind have held up incredibly well. I do have to wonder if people are wearing ill fitting shoes. My partner's Bombas did not hold up but we eventually figured out the issue was the rubbing in a certain spot. New shoes, no problem.
- My Bombas still hold up really well.
- A week later she tells me she reached out to bombas and they sent me an entire replacement, not just of the single pair I lost one sock to, but the entire Christmas set. They’ve worn down a little since around the heel but I still wear...
- The newest pair in that rotation is from a year or two ago, and I have yet to see any issues with any of those 4 pairs, so idk.
Cons
- The general consensus is that they used to excel at quality but then came the YouTube ads and as with everything that’s heavily featured in YouTube ads, the quality went to shit because they focused more on marketing and less on the buil...
- Bombas They used to have skin tone colors but all I see on their website is brown, black, white, and grey.
- Bombas are just regular socks, in fact, I just had a pair rip at the heel after 5-10 wears. They’re fine, but I do not understand the hype.
- They’re such garbage. They rely on you getting tired of requesting replacements.
- Never was. I like them but they were soft when they came out, and wore out quickly for me.

They never were. Mine fell apart in less then a year. I'd never waste my money on them ever again
