In 2011, when co-founder David Heath read that the #1 most requested item at homeless shelters wasn’t jackets, blankets, or even shoes but socks, he knew that he was going to make a difference.
Heath and friend Randy Goldberg designed specially fitted socks with anti-blister tabs and honeycomb arch support. They began selling their socks online, but when they appeared on the television show Shark Tank in 2014, they received $200,000 in exchange for a 17% share from Daymond John.
Since their appearance on Shark Tank, sales have skyrocketed. In 2018, Bombas sales hit the $100 million mark. The company offers a buy one donate one program where the company donates one pair of socks for every pair purchased. As of early 2018, the company says they’ve donated 7 million pairs of socks.
While a 12 pack of women’s ankle socks can hit a hefty $145, people are buying them left and right.
All socks come with a 100% money back guarantee if you don’t like the socks or if they don’t perform the way you expected.
Bombas states that business is booming, despite the coronavirus pandemic of 2020.
Company headquarters are located in New York, New York.

I had one of the best consumer experiences with Bombas today. After a little trouble with the regular “return” process on the web site, I called corp HQ’s and got my return processed in a couple of minutes. No hassle, no awful on hold music. There was nothing intrinsically wrong with the socks — quality and design were excellent — they just didn’t fit me. I didn’;t have to ship the socks back and was encouraged to donate them which I will. I would do business again with Bombas in a heartbeat.
I love your socks and have ordered them for many years. But when I went to order today, I noticed on your website that you were supporting certain homeless organizations. As an American, I feel we should support all homeless organizations to help these folks no matter what their race.
I have asked numerous times via email to UNSUBSCRIBE. I get tons of these unwanted emails and at this point I wouldn’t buy socks or anything from this company is they were selling for a penny a piece!!!!!!!!!
December 14, 2020….socks ordered ( two weeks ago)not delivered no response to two emails or call…good product lousy customer service!!! You lost a customer and if they don’t arrive this week, I will issue complaint to my credit card company.
I get blasted with ads all the time on my laptop. YET YOU DON’T HAVE THE SIZE, COLOR OR LENGTH THAT I NEED!
One chat person “Well it’s getting colder so more people are ordering socks.”
UHH D’uh!! If I’m running a restaurant I make sure that I am fully staffed from 1100 to 1300, then 1700 to 2200!!
In my emergency room I staff MORE doctors and nurses on evening and night shifts and every weekend!
New Year’s Eve police and fire departments are fully staffed as folks fire off guns, get badly burnt with fireworks, houses are set on fire when aerial rockets land on a roof and a house fire ensues.
SO WHY CAN’T YOU MAKE SOCKS FOR WINTER! YOUR 100% HAPPINESS GUARANTEE IS BS!
I ordered socks three weeks ago and no delivery and i paid for them
These guys are THE WORST! Your comment was six months ago-NO REPLY. This company is horrible.
