I’ve bought numerous pairs of Bombas socks including calf, ankle, and hiking. Some were wool, but most are cotton.
My calf socks are doing okay because I don’t wear them very often, but all of my wool socks wore through within 9 months to a year. The same thing happened to my husband’s wool socks. I had my wool ones replaced with cotton ones, which required all of my replacement credit plus another $20 to $30 because the price had gone up. The replacement socks wore through again and I got another set of replacements for more money. The final ones that I’m using now have only lasted about 1 year but only because I’m careful to rotate which ones I wear. They are beginning to wear through but I’ve decided not to replace them anymore. I’m just using them as rags at this point.
The socks are definitely supportive and hold their shape, but not worth the money in terms of durability versus price. I’ve never had any problems with holes in any other socks that I’ve purchased, especially after a year or less.
I almost wonder if the warranty and low durability are to encourage you to come back and spend more money. I definitely had to pay more for all of my "warranty" replacements.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
