Bombas is the sock company that gives back. For every pair of socks sold, Bombas donates a pair to someone in need.

The name Bombas is derived from the Latin word for bumblebee. Bees live and work together in a hive to make their world a better place. Their small actions have a large impact. The company borrows its mission of working together to have an impact on the world from the bumblebee, which is why they knit a bee inside each pair to remind wearers their purchase helped someone in need.

More than 4 million pairs have been donated. Socks are specially made with material that does not need to be washed as often, reinforced seams and dark colors to offer greater durability. Bombas works with shelters and non-profit organizations in all 50 states.

Socks are available for women, men and children in a variety of styles, colors and sizes. Purchase individual pairs or variety packs for extra savings. Whatever quantity you order, Bombas matches each and every purchase. Bombas ships within the United States and abroad, with extra shipping fees for international shipments.
