Derived from the Latin word for bumblebee. Bees live in a hive and work together to make their world a better place. They're small, but their combined actions have a big impact on the world. We like that. That's why our mantra is bee better. We put this reminder inside each Bombas clothing item as a reminder that little improvements can add up to make a big difference, and that your purchase went towards directly helping someone in need. We set out to rethink a product that was an afterthought in the marketplace. Two years of research & development led to seven material improvements to the design, performance and comfort of the everyday sock. And we continue to innovate with each successive production run. Our #1 priority is your happiness. If your order somehow falls short of your expectations, reach out to our in-house Customer Happiness Team and we'll smooth things out. We're here for you.
