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.

They ride up so much

I got these thinking they would be great running shorts. However, I am literally unable to run in them because they ride up so much, and it is very uncomfortable. Do not get these

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

Cut shorts, and color is nice and neutral. Ended up returning cause length was a bit shorter for me. Overall always great fabric and good fit besides my personal choice of length.
