Love it!

I love these shorts! I got a size L (im usually an 8-10 size). The shape of them is flattering on me, I do not like the modern short with slits on the side that end up looking like underwear on me. This short is not like that, it’s short but has coverage. I like that it’s lined, it’s not constantly riding up when I run and has pockets! It has a back zipper pocket and then 2 tiny ones. I like the zipper pocket, I dont like the tiny ones as much. Even when the tiny pockets have nothing in them, you can see their mark on the back of the shorts. However, everything else is great :)

Liners are horrible

Nice shorts but really hate the liner- rides up in the front & back & almost can’t run in them….

LOVE! But….

These are amazing shorts! They are so breathable and lightweight - even the liner is moisture wicking. The only reason for 3 stars is that they’re not the best if you have ticker thighs, there’s still some ride up. I will say, it’s not nearly as noticeable/ uncomfortable as other shorts due to the seamless construction. I’ve been wearing them for shorter runs and not much discomfort but still wouldn’t wear these over bike shorts for long runs. Still - if you’re looking for something lighter for summer, I’d recommend!

Pink running shorts

I love these pink 3 inch shorts. The material is good quality and allows easy movement of the legs. I think they are very flattering. The size indicator chart had suggested getting a medium size but in fact they were too large so I had to size down. This may be something to consider. The service from New Balance regarding getting a smaller size was excellent.

Poor style

Poor cut around the bottom of the leg opening so I wouldn’t class these shorts any good for running.

Magic Running Shorts

LOVE. These are what I call magic shorts. I've never had running shorts that don't chafe my inner thighs from being drenched in sweat. They are so comfortable and functional. I saw Selena Samuela promoting these and I'm so glad I gave them a try! My new go to run short

Ride up regardless of price
Originally posted on New Balance EMEA
Great cut to look at, but disappointingly still ride up when running. The cost should guarantee that doesn't happen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These new balance shorts are so perfect! They are so light and nice to wear. I have worn them to the gym, out for errands, around the house, and even out for a quick lunch. They are so comfortable and just an all around great pair of shorts!

good length, waistband, and fit. My only complaint is that there is no slit in the sides of the shorts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are super comfortable, and don’t ride up or anything. The top stays right where you put it, and they stay comfortable all day. The color is great too, and doesn’t seem to fade or anything when you wash them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new favorite exercise shorts! Love the extra internal layer that protects from sweat and prevents them from rising too high. Breathable and definitely going to try more clothing from this brand after this experience!

Soft but wicking
Originally posted on New Balance US

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the New Balance 3" shorts for my honest opinion and I do have to say that I really do like them. I would probably purchase a longer length for me but the material is super soft and does wick away the moisture. There is a small pocket but not big enough for a phone just probably house key and or some money. I would recommend and purchase in the future. New Balance has always been a tried and true brand.

Great for the athletic person

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an autoimmune disease and tend to dress comfortably. This usually means men’s basketball shorts for my physical therapy. I got these new balance shorts to see if this would be something to wear since my shorts go over my knees and i need to see them. They feel comfortable, show my knees and move nicely. They are just a little bit too short for me. I’m going to see if they have these in 4”-5”

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the New Balance - RC Short 3 shorts, and I absolutely love them. They are very soft and comfortable. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, and they are true to size. They fit my petite frame perfectly. My only complaint is that the size tag is huge and was a little scratchy, but it is an easy fix. I would highly recommend these to others who are active and looking for versatile and comfortable clothing. Truly a great product.
