Great pair of shorts at a great price. The fit is great, and lots of room to move around.

Shorts for the thick boys
Originally posted on New Balance US
Yes, I recommend this
Perfect fit for the runners that lift heavy. These shorts fit perfectly with minimal “ride up” when running for the guys that squat heavy and have thick thighs. I am 5’8”, 185 with a powerlifting/crossfit back ground that moved to endurance and these shorts are perfect.

Help with sizing
Originally posted on Joe's New Balance Outlet

Was worried about the fit so I ordered two sizes M and L. I'm 5' 10" 160lbs. I wear size 31" waist from Levi's and GAP. While I prefer the feel of the elastic waist band on the Large, the fit is entirely wrong with the leg openings too large. Medium is the right size as far as appearance. The waist is comparable to an adidas running short I also own, so these are not particularly smaller than the competition. These shorts are not forgiving if you are slightly to moderately overweight, so I think that's where the sizing complaints are coming from. If you also wear size 31" then get a Medium. I think 32" waist would be slightly too snug. The NB models are size 30" waist and they wear Mediums.

Back pocket is too small for a phone

No, I don't recommend this
This back pocket WILL NOT hold a smartphone. I have an iPhone 14 and it doesn’t fit. This is disappointing as I store my phone in other running shorts for outdoor runs.

Snug on the quads

I don't exactly have a runners physique and these are a bit tight on my legs. They are comfortable and great for casual wear or exercising.

Good, but way too tight

I like these shorts, but they turned out to be way too tight. My hip size is 95 cm, so I got M (hip size range 94-102 cm), but the waistband is so tight it really hurts on longer runs.

Excellent, like all NB products. I also have the same shorts in black and dark blue.

Love the shorts! Great quality and style. However, I had to return my usual size (which I wear in every other athletic brand) and size up

I saw these shorts online and knew I had to order them immediately. They’re the perfect post gym/lounge short! The length is just right and it comes with pockets!

Everything I want in shorts

This has quickly become my new favorite short for everyday running and gym sessions. The materials are lightweight & breathable, yet also strong and durable. Back pocket is big enough to hold my phone, keys, cards/cash, or a snack. Going to be buying several pairs!!

Cute But Run Small
Originally posted on New Balance US
They are soooooo cute but run a little small! I’d size up from what you usually are. Very tight in the crotch area.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our RC Short 5". It’s amazing to know they’ve made it to your number one spot for running shorts! We truly appreciate your recognition of the effort we put into crafting high-quality clothing!
Mindless Design

Positioning the drawstring on the outside of the waistband makes the running shorts look like their designed for women giving them a less than professional look.

Nice shorts
Originally posted on New Balance US
After a decade of running 3-4 days a week using one pair of running shorts, decided to treat myself to NB. Really happy with the quality but I might size up if I buy yet another pair…and I’m pretty slim with very little dad belly.
