Introducing: Gripper Slippers by Bombas
Bombas is known for being one of the internet’s best brands of socks, and after testing and reviewing many Bombas socks over the years, we fully agree. Not only do they have a massive variety and an incredible grasp on high-quality manufacturing, but they also donate to homeless shelters with every purchase.
Now, the brand is introducing Gripper Slippers, a grippy sock-like slipper that combines everything that makes Bombas socks amazing with the comfort and coziness of slippers.
As with anything Bombas creates, there is plenty of variety. The Bombas Grippers Slippers come in three versions — classic, cable knit, and sherpa-lined. We tested all three models out and loved each pair.

Bombas Gripper Slippers Review
Putting on an outfit, even just to stay at my desk, helps break up the monotony of my home office routine. And of course, a reliable pair of slippers are an essential part of the WFH look. I now wear the Bombas’ Gripper Slippers every day, as they’re exactly halfway between a sock and a slipper. If you’re looking for a slip-on, their Sunday Slippers might be more your speed. However, the pull-on Gripper Slippers are a super comfortable alternative, with the compression closer to that of a sock. They began to lose their shape a bit after a few wears, but reformed after I machine-washed them, as would your average socks. The rubber “grippers” on the soles provide decent traction to prevent sliding around on my floors. I decided to forgo the sherpa-lined option because my apartment runs hot, but the regular lining keeps my feet warm even when worn without socks. — Gabrielle Chase, associate editor, Reviews
