I went for a few runs in these shorts but am not a massive fan of them for a few reasons.
The first problem is the waist ties you have to use to keep the shorts up. Although I have large thighs and hips, I have a small waist, so I had to pull the waist ties in really tight – which caused the material to gather – in order to get them to stay up. Due to this, or maybe it’s a design fault, the under-shorts did not stay mid-thigh and, instead, became hotpants. This was not good for my upper inside thigh chafing, or my running form, as I had to keep stopping to pull them back down. A plus point is the small back zipped pocket that allowed me to store my car key.
