best shorts I've found for running

I do agree that the lilac color looks a little darker in the photos, but the color is still super pretty in person. I run outdoors and indoors, and my gym sometime doesn't have the AC on- so I'm sweating my butt off. These shorts felt like absolutely nothing and also didn't show any sweat despite th...

Flimsy

I wish I would have liked these but honestly there's nothing to the material. The waistline is super wide and boxy. Returned for a different style.

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

I like the Fast Route the best!, however, the lilac and tan colors are perfect. Great for running in hot weather, light and airy. Runs a little big, but I like running with the flowy feel.

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

Amazing short. I love the mesh racer run short - when I saw these a different style; I grabbed a few different colors. Came back for these as the color is great for a neutral. Perfect for walks, casual, and/or working out.

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

These look cute, are the perfect length to not be restrictive during runs and are light and breezy. The liner is also comfortable. However, I found these shorts to ride up a little bit so taking off a star. #sweepstakes

I chafe a little bit on runs, but I just put some glide stick on and I'm good to go. Very light weight. Run a little small. I'm usually a small but got a medium.

The very best shorts for thick thighs

These are so flattering and there's enough room for thighs to move freely without bunching. I hope they continue this style.
