Great design. Cute colors. I want to keep these but I feel the edge of the seam in the inner crotch & I just know it's going to a problem after a couple of miles. All your new shorts are like this. Pls revisit the seams on previous RUN WITH IT SHORTS. That inseam is completely flat & sewn down on bo...

Comments about Speedwork Mid Rise 2 1/2"" Run Short

I have a few pairs of Athleta's running shorts and I love them. This pair is for my daughter for Christmas. She doesn't like (who does??)when the shorts rub against her thighs causing thigh burns. These should fit the bill! Price and color are unbeatable!

I have thick, muscular thighs, so shorts can be difficult. These are perfect in every way. I hope athleta continues producing these in other colors.
