What to know about Bombas
Socks engineered, not just printed
The core product is a cushioned sock with honeycomb arch support, a seamless toe and a Y-stitched heel — construction details, not patterns, are the selling point.
One donated item per purchase
Every item bought triggers a donation to homeless shelters and related charities, a model that has passed 150 million items given.
Leaving the website behind
Long a direct-to-consumer business, Bombas now sells through Target and DSW and has opened its own stores, with the range extended to tees, underwear, slippers and slides.
