I’m petite with thick thighs and these shorts were horrible. I tried them on and immediately felt uncomfortable. I tried on medium and large and both felt weird with extra fabric. Immediately put back in the post to return.

My go-to running shorts

I sized up for a looser baggy fit of the overshort, went for an L instead of my usual M and pull the tie waistband in to fit me perfectly! I love the zip pocket in the back and the pocket in the under shorts which fits my phone (iphone 15) and keys in when I run. I have in Black, Fuchsia Pink and Navy and Heather Purple, these are my go-to running shorts! #teamsweatybetty

Love these! Great fit and flattering. Phone pocket is really useful plus a little zip pocket at the back. Size L was great for a 14. Will be getting a lot of wear over the summer months. Quite expensive but great quality.

Shorts - nice, comfy, but ride up...

Bought these leggings for running - love the look but it's a shame they ride up as I'm running.

Love these shorts, they're perfect for running. And the colour is the exact pop I wanted for the half marathon I've got coming up!! When shorts fit this well and look this cute, it's hard not the WearTheDamnShorts!!! #TeamSweatyBetty

I bought these shorts for running. I’ve struggled to find a pair that do not ride up. These fit great and stay put whilst I’m running the pocket holds my phone perfectly. I will certainly be buying more.

Will stick to Powers…

Lovely shorts but they’re no good for running… I tried them on in store, had a little squat, little walk, all seemed fine. Purchased. Wore them for a run and spent the best part of an hour pulling them down on the inside leg :( now I have chin chub rub which is sore :( (I’m a fairly muscly size 10/12). An idea for SB - get a pair of trusted 6” powers, pop on an overlay 👌 no more inside leg issues 😘

Really comfortable fit. Great size pocket on the leg to fit my phone. Useful key pocket at rear

Poorly designed shorts.

The inner lining is too short and rides up, resulting in chafing. The outer liner has alot of material and bunches up. Poor design. Shame as the zipped pocket and side pocket (+ colour) are helpful.

I wore these straight off on a long run today and thy were really comfy. The inner phone pocket is discreet and not bulky and the zip pocket perfect for my keys. Thought they were actually a fairly flattering shape and length too as im not a fan of wearing shorts generally. Im a pear shaped size 10 and bought a size M and they feel just right.

Not like last years
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com
I have had these shorts past two years and recommend them all the time this year I bought them in black and they have so much material going on they look like a skort. So wished you hadn’t changed these shorts. Won’t be buying or recommending again

Light and comfy with a handy pocket for your phone and a small one at the back for keys. I just wish it had a 3rd pocket on the other leg for gels. True to size small. Would recommend.

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.
