About Bombas:
Bombas is a comfort focused premium basics brand with a mission to help those in need.

You make the most comfortable socks in the history of feet. Millions of pairs sold and donated later, Bombas has continued to innovate within its mission and product, introducing new socks, as well as underwear and t-shirts, the #2 and #3 most requested clothing items at homeless shelters, all while continuing to make a positive impact on the community where we all work and live.Click here to see what it's like to work inside the Bombas Hive!The word Bombas is derived from the Latin word for bumblebees.
