Good running shorts

Good quality running shorts but slightly on tighter side so size up if needed. Nice colour and worth the price.

I had a pair of these in green and loved them so much I bought a second pair in black for the summer. They are a flattering design and have a hidden side pocket for your phone. Plus a zipped back pocket for your keys.

These shorts ride up all the time. Inseam of lining is too short. I’m returning the second pair I bought. Really disappointed. Nothing like predecessor

Too short shorts
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com
Very expensive at full price compared to others on the market. I’m 5 foot 7 and these are too short for me . I would rather have mid thigh. I’m a size 10 size 12 and don’t like the fit on these either. I won’t get much wear out of them which is disappointing. I have power leggings and love them. But the sorts are not for me.

Great for yoga and running

I bought these shorts for hot power yoga, and they have been fantastic. Full flexibility in all yoga poses and much cooler than leggings. Have also been great for running and netball, love the discrete pockets to store my phone and keys safely.

Inner short too short

Sadly I have bought a few pairs of this short and found the inner short too short - causing chaffing during running training and runs .Past designs have had a longer inner short which work well for club runners.

Cute and comfy! Love the color and the built in coverage of the compression short for modesty. They are great to run and play pickleball in.

Too small!

Lovely colour and material, however they come up small. I usually wear size small in SB but would need a medium in these. Sadly didn't reorder as not prepared to pay more postage.

Best Shorts

I bought shorts for running and I’d say these are the best running shorts that I have had in 20 plus years. They are on the pricey size but I have had one pair for over a year and they look like new. I’m a size 8 and bought small

Comfy, practical (small pocket for keys and mobile phone pocket) and look great. What’s not to love?

Runs a little small
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

The sizing for these running shorts is a bit smaller than for the SB leggings, so I suggest going up a size. Also, there is not a pocket to fit a phone. Love the lightweight fabric.

I’ve searched for years for a decent pair of shorts that don’t ride up when running/squatting etc. These are perfect not only are they a flattering length and anlso an high waist and good size around the thighs they stay in place without feeling too tight, no chaffing and are so comfy. I LOVE THEM!

Flattering and functional. My favourite.

Love them. Super flattering and look great. I’ve always liked this style but want a secure phone pocket so stick to cycling short style but these are great with a pocket in the under short. A bit tricker to get the phone in and out whilst running than normal cycling short so don’t recommend if you want to get your phone out a lot on a run, but I love them.

Bought these shorts for running, initially thought the under shorts would ride up but they have been super comfortable on my long runs! Check that your phone fits the pocket if you are intending to use it while running as it might be a bit snug with the larger models! Overall very impressed.

Super coloured light weight shorts
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com
This is my second pair, love the colours, the lightness of them and the waist band. My only gripe is the inner shorts do tend to rise up, so for my second paid I sized up, but unfortunately this hasn’t really made a difference. I would therefore unlikely recommend these to long distance runners.
