I don't wear Bombas, but i do wear Darn Tough socks, which are in a similar price range as Bombas. I can say, all their socks, especially the thinner socks from Darn Tough are 1000x more comfortable and durable than any 'traditional' sock brand.

That said, I consider them a luxury and not a necessity. If I had a tighter budget, I'd have no issue wearing traditional brands, but I do enjoy the extra comfort.

Also, with Darn Tough the socks have a lifetime guarantee, so in theory I shouldn't have to ever buy socks again. Generally the socks I've gotten from walmart/tj maxx/any department store the elastic starts to go after a few years.
