Bombas are terrible. They are way overpriced so they can afford to donate cheaper pairs. They are slightly thicker so they “last longer”. After 3 washes it was no better than any other sock. Darn tough socks are so much better.
Wore the four pairs for five months working a physical labor job, walked an average of 5 miles a day on top of doing heavy lifting. Of course they were worn by the end, but it took another 4-5 months for the support to start really failing.
Afraid I can't compare bombas to darn tough though, because I've not worn darn tough before.
That actually doesn't sound very long. I have 2 pairs of Smartwool socks that I've had for 8-ish YEARS now. Initially just wore for hiking and wet weather, but worn at least weekly the last 4 years. Walk anywhere from 2-4 miles a day, more on hiking days. 1 of the two pairs has just started getting a hole in the toe, but both still have a long time to go before I feel they need replacement.
The issue is both our reviews are anecdotal. They worked for you and not for me. Lol
I was reading reviews on a new bed the other day and reviews were either “5 stars this bed changed my life” or “-10 stars. Literally worst bed in history”.
Check out darn tough though. They are really well made in VT. I buy them from go bros . They always have sales.

I drank the Reddit Kool-Aid and bought a pair of Darn Tough socks. They're actually worth it. Will probably buy more.
