Great Fit For Runs

I was hesitant before purchasing because I thought they may be too short. But I do own & love another brand with a 2.5" inseam, similar to these. I was pleasantly surprised by their lovely fit & cut. Interior pocket & Infiniti waistband are also a plus. I'll be wearing for jogging in the NC humidit...y & heat. I liked them enough to purchase in 2 colors (Navy & Green) These Run True.

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.

The fit and coverage are great, even for those self-conscious about their thighs.

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

Comfy and sits right at the waist. Liner is a plus as the shorts are flowy and short. Great for working out and running.

Great running shorts. I usually wear a medium in Athleta leggings so that's what I ordered. I could have sized down to a small.

I love the color but they are truly a light material and I can barely feel that I'm wearing them. True to size.
