Socks are one of those things that you can always use more of, but they’re also something that you never want to spend a lot of money on. We get it, you don’t want to “splurge” on something that isn’t that much fabric and people don’t ever really see. But logically, socks are actually well-worth splurging on because you use them every single day and literally wear them into the ground. And we all know how miserable it is to be out on a hike or stuck outside in an uncomfortable pair of cheap socks—it’s a day-ruiner.
But here’s where we come in—because we found a sock sale that’s definitely worthy of your time (especially if you’re on the hunt for a high-quality sock without forking over too much cash).
Bombas is known as being one of the best-in-class sock brands on the market. And they’re having a massive secret sale on Nordstrom right now, with most of their styles at least 25 percent off. Men’s, women’s, kids’—all categories are currently on sale. Ankle socks, “no show” socks, and compression knee-highs—you name it, all styles are deeply discounted during Nordstrom’s holiday clearance event.
If you just want to start with one pair instead of investing in a whole pack, our pick for the best deal would be these solid ankle socks, available in white, black, or gray. Originally $12.50, they’re marked down to $9.37–one of the lowest listing prices we’ve ever seen for a pair of Bombas.
If you prefer buying in bulk, one of the best deals on Nordstrom is the Bombas assorted 6-pack ankle socks, which were originally $75, then marked down to $49.90, and then marked down again to $37.42. Again, these sizes and styles are going to go fast and quickly–so we suggest scooping them up now. Also, a pair of high-end socks makes a perfect stocking stuffer or secret snowflake gift.
If you’re in the market for compression socks, one of the best deals of the sale is the colorblock compression knee-high socks. Compression socks are excellent for boosting circulation in your legs and relieving calf and ankle pain from swelling. They’re especially great to use post-workout or to wear when flying when elevation levels can cause inflammation.
Why Bombas are special (no, really)
Regardless of the style you prefer, they’re all amazing (trust us, we own several pairs and can vouch for their greatness) and marked down. What separates Bombas from other brands is that its honeycomb design on the arches is designed to provide arch support, and they have a blister tab on the ankle to prevent chafing and blistering. Which makes them especially great for the colder months. We often times walk around the house in just socks, but that can be awful for feet. And when we do go outside, we wear boots that rub up against our toes and heels. Bombas socks prevent any kind of discomfortable aftermath, which is one of the reasons they’re so genius.
Plus, in addition to socks, there are also Bombas slippers available on the Nordstrom sale (!!!). There are multiple styles, but our particular favorite are these ultra-cozy Fair Isle house slippers that have underfoot grippers which are particularly great (and safer) if you have wood floors and not carpeting. They come in three colors/styles and are marked down from $48 to $36.
You might think of Bombas as strictly athletic or utilitarian, but they also have some very cute “fancier” styles if you want something a bit more fashion-forward and not as athletic—but still high-quality. We love this 4-pack of frilly edge crew socks that come in a pretty gift box, and are marked down from $78 to $58.50.
Bottom line? Run, don’t walk to the secret Bombas sale on Nordstrom right now.
