I love finding companies that are focused on making awesome products AND helping others. Bombas makes “athletic-leisure” socks and donates a pair to a person in need for every pair they sell. Their motto is “bee better.” What is with the bees? The word Bombas is derived from the Latin word for bumblebee. They say, “Bees work together to make the hive a better place. We like that. When we say Bee Better, we mean it as a mantra, a way of approaching every day. It’s stitched into the inside of every pair of Bombas for a reason. It’s a reminder to push yourself harder to be better at your athletic pursuits. A reminder that these socks are engineered and designed with thought to bee better. A reminder that you helped someone in need with your purchase. And a reminder that we’re all connected and little improvements can add up to make a big difference.”
Bombas socks are engineered and designed to look better and feel better. They make calf and ankle length socks for men, women and children. They picked socks because those are the most requested items at homeless shelters and then they spent two years on R & D making the best socks they could make. They also focused on value – best socks at the best price (a win-win!) The socks they donate are black and grey (to hide dirt better), have a special anti microbial treatment (for less frequent washing) and have reinforced seams (for more durability). I am so impressed! They thought of everything. And… wait for it… they have already donated OVER 300,000 pairs! Amazing.
 Bombas socks are super soft as they are made from Peruvian pima cotton. They have a reinforced foot bed, “perfect” tension and elasticity to stay up (calf socks), cushioning at the ankle for comfort, a Y stitched heel for comfort, honeycomb around the arch for tightness and support and a hand sewn toe for comfort. They also come in fun colors and have a bee logo on every pair!
You can get men’s, women’s or kids’ socks in grey or black with whatever color combo you choose. Men’s and women’s are $9/pair and that includes one pair for a person in need. The kids’ are $8/pair and that includes one pair for a person in need.
I tried the ankle socks for myself and the calf socks for The Husband. He LOVES his and wears them all of the time. He says that they are the most comfortable socks he has. I like mine for wearing around the house or going to the gym, but they are not as snug as I like for running. They come in adult medium and large. I could use a women’s small for running. I hope that they will make them!
