Bombas Socks

One of my Reggie classmates was extolling the virtues of Bombas socks. She said they were the only sock she would wear. Well, I was in need of some socks (yes, more socks) for cold weather so decided to try the Bombas socks. I liked the idea of the company. For every pair of socks sold, they donate a pair of socks to homeless shelters.

Even better than their philanthropy is Bomba's customer service. I like a company that stands behind its product and does everything to make the customer happy.

I ordered 4 pair of socks before Christmas. The socks are a bit on the expensive side, but the material is substantial and the socks well made. They also seem to run small for my Hobbit sized feet even though I order men's socks in Medium. I wanted socks that wouldn't bind around the ankle.

An email to customer service went out and a reply came back promptly. I wanted to exchange the socks for a larger size and return the socks that were too small. Even though they had been washed and one pair worn. No problem. Bombas wanted to make sure I was happy with their product.

Two of the sock patterns ordered were no longer available and customer service suggested alternate patterns. The service rep patiently answered questions as to did I have to order the suggested patterns and was there a difference between mens and womens Bombas socks. No and No. I could order any pattern I wanted. Even though the website is set up to market socks to men and women, the sizes and patterns are the same.

I asked how I should return the unwanted socks and was told to give them to a family member, someone else, or to donate them. Wow! Since The Young One was in need of socks and has tiny feet, these socks fit her perfectly. Replacement socks were sent and no extra charge for shipping.

So I'm going to recommend this company to you, if you are in need of socks. They have a referral program. If a friend buys socks, they get 25% off their purchase, and I get free socks. Win for you and win for me. You can never have too many pair. So, if you're interested, send me your email, and I'll put the referral in.

  3. I have seen the Bombas socks ads before, but had NO idea they had such great customer service. How thoughtful of them, because I know they care a lot about the homeless. And they researched their socks, too, to make sure they didn't fall down, or have that annoying ridge/seam at the top. So glad to know they treat you well at both ends of the transaction.

    1. The socks are very well made. Comfortable, soft material, and they don't sag. I think they run small so would suggest ordering a size up.

  5. I never heard of bombas socks, but I love their company philosophy.I like companies that do things to help others. When I went to Costa Rica with my school and we visited a rural school, all the kids had new Tom's shoes that are part of their donate a pair for every pair someone buys. Made me very pro for Tom's shoes.I guess they are like the socks. I am going to check them out. happy New Year CJ. Hope yours a good one. Hugs-erika

    1. They are great socks. Off the top of my head I don't remember seeing anything on the site about international shipping charges.
