Look Good, Do Good: Sporty Socks

Look Good, Do Good: Sporty Socks

For each pair you buy, a pair goes to someone in need.

Sometimes we shop to make ourselves feel good, but what if a little retail therapy could actually do some good? We're thrilled to highlight cool finds that are sustainably made or whose proceeds go to a great cause.

Do-Gooder: Bombas

Ever notice how some performance socks seem to give you an extra spring in your step for your workout? Bombas are totally those socks. They're designed for athletes—with cool features like a seamless toe, a support system to distribute pressure evenly throughout the arch of the foot, and a blister tab that prevents chafing. They also come in fun colors, unlike some sport socks that are just so...blah.

As an added bonus, you can feel good about loading up your sock drawer with them: After the company's founders learned that socks are the most-requested type of clothing at homeless shelters, they decided to give a pair of socks for each pair sold. So far, the company has donated more than 70,000 pairs. The socks are being featured on tonight's season premiere of Shark Tank (airing at 8 EST on ABC). Tune in, then get yourself a pair to power up your next sweat session!
