While durable, the Darn Tough socks run a little too hot. They pick up a lot less hair and dust than the highly reviewed Darn Tough merino wool running socks. Just like other wool socks I’ve owned, they pick up hair and dust. The Merino version keeps my toes warmer on cold days but isn’t ideal for high heat or humidity. The Merino version is 51% wool, 45% nylon, and 4% spandex vs the original’s 51% polyester, 33% Nylon, 12% cotton, and 4% spandex. The Bombas Merino Performance Running Socks look exactly the same as Bombas’ normal performance running socks. The $16.50 price point is in line with other performance running socks, there are a ton of fun color options, and they’re super comfortable. Overall, Bombas Performance Running socks are winners. Dryer balls won’t work without some particle cling. I’ve gotten used to it and I think it’s a fair trade-off for the overall comfort and softness. They’re not crazy slick like dress socks but they’re just a touch slicker than I’d like. Bombas Performance Running socks are occasionally a little too slippery for some shoes (heavily dependent on insole material) and floors. My lower legs are usually remarkably efficient at pushing down any crew height sock during athletic activity but the Bombas stayed in place both when new and after several washes. The calf socks don’t slide down even when soaked with sweat on a hot day. Not sure exactly what type of elastic Bombas uses, but it works. It’s a nice little touch that provides 360° protection from potentially uncomfortable shoe collars. With Bombas performance running socks you get both front and back blister tabs. The calf and quarter socks are only slightly more expensive. Depending on where you run and what shoes you use, you may prefer a different height.

My aim is to give the pros, cons, or differences of each so you can make a decision on whether you’d like to purchase a pair.Īs always, it’s hard to foresee every potential question so feel free to reach out via Twitter and Instagram or leave a comment below with any follow-up questions on Bombas Socks. Since Bombas offers a lot of options, I’ve divided my review into sections focused on the versions I’ve tried. And at WearTesters, if you’ve got a performance focus, we’re intrigued. Finally, browsing their website revealed a focus on performance alongside running and tennis-specific socks. It’s always a nice bonus to be able to support mission-driven brands so I was again attracted to them. Afterward, I discovered Bombas’ pledge to donate one pair of socks for every pair purchased.

The recommendations centered around all-day comfort and durability. Long before I got pairs of Bombas Socks in hand, their socks were recommended to me by a few trusted friends.
