I have five sets of their dark grey dress socks. They have all faded significantly and at different rates. Makes matching sets a little fun after washing and drying. No wear holes yet but the heals are getting noticeably thinner.
Also have six or so pairs of Pacas black dress socks. Zero fading and I find to be a little softer and thicker. Seem to be holding up much better. Both brands I have owned for about 4 years.

Dress, casual or outdoor/athletic?
For dress or dressy casual socks I am very partial to Boardroom. I think I am being objective, but they are made right up the road from me, and I have known Mike, Carol, and their son Nathan for years. I do wear them 5 or more times a week so I have owned and worn more dress socks in my life than anything else.

Any pair I have tried or seen is entirely too thick for my preference.

I've had three pair of dressy casual Bombas calf socks for about a year. They feel pretty good, soft with nice cushion for comfort, but they have a snug/compression fit from bottom to top. I'm ok with it, but I could see some not liking that snugness.
Buy some and try them out before you restock the sock drawer with them.

They're hex tec no show socks are my favorite socks for summer. They have a good warranty that is only second to Darn Tough which is probably the best sock company around right now

My wife and kids have the fluffy bomba slippers. They like them.

Good stuff but very pricey

I will pay extra if someone in need gets something, I just wanted to know if they are a good product.

They're super big into alternative lifestyles.
The best socks are from Go Ruck. MeUndies boxer briefs (also somewhat into alternative lifestyles) haven't needed to be replaced in over five years, which is not a great business model, but good for us.

Bit the bullet & bought some this year and at the same time purchased off-brands from Amazon to compare. Bombas is not worth the money in my opinion, for my use.
Compression ankle socks are fine, slightly thicker than I want, but ultimately no real difference to me warrant paying $20+ compared to off-brands for about 1/3 of the price.
Compression over the calf socks for boots for work have good compression & thickness, but after maybe 10 wears they started to roll down my calves occasionally and appear to start thinning over the toe nails. Bombas comfort initially is better, but the performance of my off-brand socks I purchased at the same time to compare is much better than the Bombas, both in staying up over the calf and no thinning over the toes.
Merino Wool Compression over the calf socks I only wore a few times around the freeze and were very comfortable and they seemed to work well but I have not purchased any off-brand merino wool socks to compare.
A friend at work runs a lot, she did not notice much a fit or comfort difference compared to her others, but the big plus for her use as a runner was that Bombas & Feetures did not cause her to have any blisters like cheaper socks did.
CelerSports over the calf are 3 pair for $17
Amazon-CelerSport Compression Over the Calf
Brisira ankle compression 3-pack for $19

I've seen the light and converted. High quality and they last a long time.

Yep - I have 12 pairs of the ankle socks. They're given to me every year for Christmas and after 3 years, not a single sock has a hole in it. I'm pretty impressed by them.

Quality has declined over the past few years imo. I bought some 5 years ago that made it 3-4 years. Bought some more last year that are already wearing out.
Also have some of their underwear. I like them but nothing groundbreaking.

My wife (no pics) thinks they are the best thing going, I’m not overly impressed.
