One thing we specialize in over here at Miss American Made is supporting genuine, sustainable, USA-made brands and products because the truth is, buying American-made is IMPORTANT! It’s your ticket to timeless, high-quality, and ethical staple products. And that includes everything, even socks.
Buying a high-quality pair of socks isn’t just about making sure you’re comfortable and well-supported, it’s also about making sure you get the biggest bang for your buck. And this, ladies, is how we learned about Bombas socks. They’re a brand that’s gaining popularity, and for good reason!
BUT, are they made in America??? That’s the real question and we’re here to answer it.
Where Are Bombas Socks Made?
In this post, you can expect to get the inside scoop on exactly where Bombas Socks are made. We’re asking the heavy hitters here. Is this brand high-quality? Do they maintain sustainable practices? Are they ethical in their practices? Not only does this give you a clear version of the company you’d be buying from, but it also gives you a look into their craftsmanship.
What Are Bombas Socks?
Bombas Socks started when the owners discovered that socks are actually the most requested clothing piece within homeless shelters. Not to mention that the socks that were being provided, were extremely uncomfortable and sh*tty quality.
From then on, they spent 2 years completely re-inventing their product to provide a pair of socks that will meet all of your needs, and fix all of the things you don’t need (like that annoying toe seam, UGH)..
These socks are made with a mix of high-quality materials like cotton and Merino wool. They’ve also added designs that keep the consumer in mind, like arch support, stay-up technology, zone cushioning, and a reinforced heel to toe area for CRAZY durability.
You get comfort, style, sustainability, and design all in one pair of socks.
Are Bombas Socks Made In USA?
Sooo we hate to do this to you baddies, but… Bombas Socks are NOT made in the USA. We know, we’re just as heartbroken. 💔
We can all agree that Bombas socks are AHHH-MAZING quality, and they even have a great mission behind them. But when a product isn’t made here in America, we have to question their sustainability, labor practices, ethics, and more! When you buy American-made, you just don’t have to think about these things!
Are Bombas Socks Worth It?
As much as we wish we could say yes, you girls know where our heart lies… if it isn’t American-made, the answer is always gonna be no.
Like we said, we love the quality of these socks and we love the way the company gives back to others, but at the end of the day, we can only FULLY trust and promote brands that make their products here in America we would be doing you babes a disservice otherwise.
You didn’t think we’d just leave you hanging though, did you? There are tons of other high-quality socks like Bombas that are made right here in the USA. Let’s look at our options!
