I have tried many companies shorts before trying these. These are the absolute perfect running shorts for me! I was so satisfied that I immediately purchased a second pair after my first run. I have since donated all my other running shorts and have just these for my summer running.

Sizing not consistent with other Brooks Shorts...much smaller

I love these shorts!! Ordered my regular size XSmall. I am 5'4" and 115lbs. these fit perfect!! they are the right length and feel!

Great fit, great value! Length is perfect for me I’m almost 70 years old and need some comfort while I walk /run. Material is very nice and dries when sweating a lot. This is very important for me as I have very sensitive skin. Very happy with my purchase, I have bought these in the past. Will buy again! Waist band excellent and very comfy and I love the pockets!

Perfect length and comfortable shorts for my runs. Looks great on and doesn’t ride up.

So cool and comfortable to run or relax in! These shorts are the perfect length and light as air, they look smart enough to wear out to my favourite cafe’s too!

I hoped these would be the same as the 3' just longer. The band on the top is much wider and they are extremely unflattering.

If you don’t like really short shorts, but do like lots of pockets, these are perfect. With three pockets in the waistband and a flat waistband, I love these shorts.

I have bought these in the past and LOVED them! Unfortunately, they changed the design and are less than desirable. The thighs are tight while the waist is too big. Wish the design would have stayed the same.

These are just perfect run shorts. They are extremely comfortable and I love the length. True to size. I now have 3 pairs!

Great fit. Love all the pockets! 5” length is just right, not too short. My third pair… please don’t every stop offering this style.

Love these shorts. Very comfortable waist band. Perfect length. Great pockets in all the right places. Color is different and more attractive in person. I’m 156, 5’7” and got the large. I workout in them and play pickleball in them.

Good pair of running shorts. If you are blessed with a bum the shorts will cover it but just enough. I purchased my usual medium and feel I am on the verge of the liner line showing through the outer fabric. I believe a large would have been baggy but roomier in the bum.

Liked the fit of these when trying on in store but if you’re going to run in them, beware! They ride up in the front so bad and are then just as short as the 3 inch shorts (if not shorter). Nobody likes a front wedgie and made for a very uncomfortable run.
