They're Built With Sock Science Bombas spent 2 years of R&D re-inventing the sock. They eliminated the annoying toe seam on the tip of the toe, created a unique arch support system that feels like a hug around the middle of your foot, and tested 130+ calf tension levels to find the perfect one.

We're Bombas. It sounds simple, but putting on clean, comfortable clothing every day is a powerful thing. With the help of our customers and Giving Partners, we wanted to offer new, clean clothes to everyone who needs them. So we created the most comfortable socks, underwear, and t-shirts we could imagine.

Bombas uses the softest long staple yarns from the best cotton and merino wool producers in the world. We believe in the antimicrobial and moisture-wicking properties of high-quality, natural fibers. Our socks contour to your feet, keep you dry all day, and protect you so you can keep doing your thing all day long.

According to the Bombas website, their socks are “manufactured in facilities around the world in the US, Taiwan, Peru, and China.” However, the socks are made in the US are not labeled as such, so it would be impossible to tell which ones those are.

Bombas' competitive advantages: Their product helps solve an important social cause that customers can easily support with their purchase. The quality/comfort of the design and fabric are superior to the standard tube sock. They offer unique designs and patterns that fit the trends that their target customers want.

Bombas (US$225 million) – Daymond John The duo was inspired to create the most comfortable socks they could after learning that is the most requested item in homeless shelters. The brand donates one pair for every pair sold, and the business model interested Fubu fashion brand founder Daymond John.

Original Socks They've got all the features Bombas are known for, like targeted cushioning, proprietary compression around the midfoot and a seamless toe. In our tests, they were a favorite of our consumer testers and product experts alike.

We re-engineered socks, making them softer, more durable, and extra supportive–the comfiest in the history of feet. And for every pair purchased, another is donated to someone in need.

Socks are the #1 most requested clothing item in homeless shelters, so we donate 1 pair of socks for every pair purchased. From the beginning, the Bombas mission has been to contribute to the homeless community and encourage others to get involved.

What does “Bombas” mean? The name Bombas is derived from the Latin word for bumblebee. Bees work together to make their hive a better place. We liked that and felt that it really fit what we were trying to do, which is why our logo is a bee and our mantra is “Bee Better”.

History. Bombas launched in 2013, after founders Randy Goldberg and David Heath learned that socks are the most requested clothing item in homeless shelters.

The short answer is yes, they're more than worth it, but it depends on what you're willing to pay for this elevated wardrobe essential. While they certainly come at a premium, if there's one thing Bombas does best, it's comfort.

Bombas took the successful buy one, give one social impact model of companies like TOMS, Bixbee, WeWood, and Figs and applied it to socks. By focusing on a mission that affects their customers and their communities, the company has taken a mundane and utilitarian item and given it the ability to effect social change.
