If you think all socks were created equal, you’ve never tried a pair of Bombas. The brand is beloved by everyone from marathon runners to moderately-paced walkers to infants and even my mother-in-law for one reason alone: Comfort. I am not being hyperbolic when I tell you that the first time I put on a pair of Bombas socks, I realized I could never wear another brand again. They have somehow figured out how to create a perfect sock—eliminating annoying toe seams, pilling, and any risk of slippage. But of course, quality like this comes at a cost…which is why we are thrilled to tell you that Bombas is having a pretty major sale. Right now, you can take 20% off select packs, which is good to begin with, and if you are a new customer, Bombas is giving you an additional 25% discount, site wide.
When the Prevention editors heard about this, we literally squealed and lifted up our pant legs to reveal the Bombas we were all wearing. In that moment, we also quickly realized we had different favorite pairs. Keep reading to see our editors’ picks of their favorite Bombas sock style, including why they love them and what activity they help with best.

“When I was getting into running, I bought a pack of Bombas running ankle socks (after all runners need the right shoes and socks, right?!). It turns out these socks are good 24/7—not just when you’re hitting the pavement. The toe, heel and ball of the foot get a little extra cushioning, thanks to padding you won’t find in other types of socks. And, the socks just hug your feet. Honestly, they’re my go-to pair, even when my only movement plans involve laying down on the couch.” —Trish Clasen Marsanico, deputy food editor
Bombas Performance Ankle Socks
“Finding the perfect level of cushion in a sock is downright difficult, especially as a beginner runner. Too thin and blisters may pop up; too thick and your kicks become too tight. Not to sound like Goldilocks, but this pair is just right for my runs and long walks. I love the thickness (also great even in cooler months), the thick heel tab (to prevent rubbing and blisters), and cinched arch for added support. I have these in a purple/pink hue (helps with visibility…maybe? I’m not sure but they called to me). They fit perfectly in my Brooks Adrenalines and Hoka Bondis alike. 10/10 would recommend.” —Emily Goldman, deputy digital director
Bombas Running Half-Calf Socks
“Bombas performance running socks are slim, soft, and retain their shape in the wash. These don’t slip down when I run or lift, they breathe well, and the material is soft to the touch. I love that they’re available in a variety of colors, and I find myself wearing them outside of athletic activities because they are just so comfortable!” —Allie Early, digital director
Bombas All-Purpose Performance Quarter Socks
“If I could choose one sock for the rest of my life, it would be this pair from Bombas. Not only are they over five years old with zero pilling, thinning, or tearing, but they are still just as soft as the first day I put them on. The fabric is sweat-wicking and breathable, so I never feel like I’m pulling off wet or sweaty socks, even after a long workout. They are also perfectly cushioned so my foot feels supported, even when I’m just walking around my house with sock feet. I love this particular style that looks so cute with all my sneakers and never slips or feels too tight. As someone who is particularly sensitive to itchy tags and seams, I am also obsessed with the fact that the toe is seamless.” —Charlotte Lewis Finigan, senior commerce editor
Beyond loving those top-recommended styles, we also love that Bombas donates an essential clothing item to individuals facing homelessness for each one of your purchases.
