| I used to swear by Bombas until I learned about Feetures- I love them! But I’m not sure why you would have a kid wear them? |
I buy a new set of 6 or so and toss any worn ones, which is usually 2 or 3 pairs. This doesn't seem extravagant to me at all. |
You don't think you deserve new socks every year and half? |
| I think they are overrated and pricy for what you get. I spend just a little more on Smartwool and they last forever. Bombas don't. |
Agree fully |

every year there is some "it" brand that every umc dmv tween girl "has" to have. it's a scam.
if your kid is unpopular, no amount of brands coving their bodies will help. there are popular kids who wear clothes from old navy and target and shoes from a garage sale who will always be popular no matter what they are wearing. free yourself from your chains. buy your kids the walmart socks and never look back. |

NP. I find the Bombas marketing campaign to be very impressive.
For athletic socks, we will keep buying the REI house brand. For dress socks, we will stick to Gold Toe. |
| No - big pack of Hanes ones from Target and they last until my kid grows out of them. |
Agree! |

I like how Bombas feel like the kind of hug your feet, and how some of them have extra cushioning that is really nice to walk around on.
I only have a few pairs, as does my kid, but I like them more than my other socks. We often get them on 🛒 day as stocking stuffers. |
| Has anyone converted to Bombas from Balegas? I have always loved Balegas but maybe they are more of a runner's sock? |
I find they break after awhile. My child is size 5 and his grandmother bought him I think a male size. They were fine, but ripped when he was pulling them up. Target socks are fine. Try and find 100% cotton if you can. I also looked online and found some, but only ever ordered 1 pair if I could to see if my kid would like them. As an adult if I spend money on socks I buy feetures. They are for runners, but I wear them whenever and they last. My Bombas ripped/had holes within a few months of me owning them. I was really disappointed in them. Feetures are WAY better! |
| Terrible socks |
| Funny that folks are arguing about whether socks should last longer than 18 months as it depends on how often they are worn & washed during that time period. If you only have a few pairs of socks, 18 months is a long time to go without replacing them. |
In order of preference I like 1. feetures 2. Balega 3. Bombas. Yes, these are running/tennis socks. What are you using them for? |
