New Favorite Running Shorts

I bought these in 3 colors because I loved the way they fit when I tried them on in the store. After running in them, I can tell you they do not disappoint. It's like they weren't even there. I am 5'5", 130 lbs and purchased the XS. I don't normally consider myself an XS, but that's what I seem to a...lign to in Athleta running shorts.

Great fit, poor quality liner

I loved these shorts from the minute I put them on, however, the liner panty is made of fabric similar to pantyhose. On the 3rd wearing I had a hole. Too delicate.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

I love the fit and comfort of these shorts. They're great for walking/running and the inner support is just what I was looking for. I'm 5'6" and weigh 130. The small is a perfect fit.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

I'm 5'5" and about 120lbs and ordered XS. I usually get small, but a friend said these run a little big and to order an xs. They fit great! I Love that these are lightweight and don't look like a balloon on me. I feel like so many running shorts are so bulky and not slimming. I also feel like the attached underwear fit securely where other brands are too loose and I have to wear an additional pair of underwear. I love that they still have a pocket for your phone, although I personally don't like running with the phone because it bounces around a lot. But not a deal breaker for me. Would definitely buy again.

I have many running shorts from Athleta that I have purchased over the years and these are my favorite! They are just the right amount of room without looking puffy. I usually wear XS and these fit well 5'3" and 116lbs.
