Best Athletic Shorts for Boys of 2025

“I bought these for my son, who is 13 years old, for his middle school PE. The size chart was accurate, but they do run large. Overall, they are of decent quality, have held up to weekly use, and washed well. He finds them comfortable and not see-through at all.”

“I ordered a size small for my 9-year-old son. I was impressed with how soft and nicely made they were. However, the sizing was a bit off; they fit him small even though he usually wears a size 8. The tag said size small 7, which was disappointing. I can’t waste money on clothes that won’t last.”

“These shorts fit my 7-year-old perfectly! He plays rough, and they have held up great with no damage from washing. I’m happy that they will pass down to my youngest nicely!”

“I found these shorts to be comfortable and lightweight. The fit is a bit large, but I can easily adjust them with the working drawstring. They seem breathable, and I think they are a reasonable price.”

“My son really enjoys how comfortable these shorts feel. The fit was exactly as described.”

“I bought these for my grandson for basketball games. They do seem to run a little small, but the quality is good, and they wash up nicely.”

"These boys' athletic shorts are perfect for my son! The lightweight and breathable fabric makes them ideal for hot days and sports activities. I love the elastic waistband with a drawstring for a great fit, and they’re super easy to move in. After multiple washes, they still look brand new. My son enjoys the variety of colors that match everything. Overall, they’re comfortable, durable, and a fantastic value for the price!"

"I found the sizing to be accurate for my son, and he wears them daily without any issues. They are holding up great!"

"As a parent of two boys who wear the same size, I'm always on the lookout for good clothing at reasonable prices. These shorts are really nice and lightweight jersey material. My kids love them, especially because they have pockets—that's definitely a plus!"

“I got these basketball shorts for my son, and they have been a game changer! The fit is true to size, and the elastic waistband provides a comfortable, secure fit without being too tight. The lightweight, breathable fabric allows him to move freely. Highly recommend them for any active boy!”

“These shorts are comfortable and lightweight. My boys wear them pretty much every day. I was a bit disappointed that the difference between the medium and large size is only in the waist—the length stays the same. I wish the length would have also increased with the larger size.”

“My son loves these. They are cool and silky, just how he likes them. It's hard to find these style shorts with pockets, so these were a great find. The material is not super durable but fine for the time he will take to grow out of them.”

"I absolutely love the fit and style of these shorts!"

"I would have rated them five stars because the quality is nice and the value is very affordable. However, I find them a bit too short for boys' shorts, as they sit about 4 to 5 inches above the knee."

"I ordered a size medium for my skinny 10-year-old, but it was too small and short. Surprisingly, it fit my seven-year-old perfectly."

"I love the camouflage design on the logo. The quality is great, and these shorts are super soft with a stretchy waistband. They fit true to size. I always find reasonably priced Under Armour clothing on Amazon for my pre-teen!"

"My son appreciates how they fit and says they are comfortable. The quality is good and they match with many shirts!"

"I bought the black size large for my 13-year-old son. They are lightweight and breathable, and he absolutely loves them. It was a great value for the money!"

"I needed athletic shorts for my grandson, and these are well made, grandson approved, and reasonably priced. They are perfect for the hot Southern weather. He finds them comfortable and wears them often, even for soccer practice. I’ve ordered several pairs, and the sizing is correct. I highly recommend them!"

"I ordered an XL, but they fit like a large. They’re decent shorts, but I can’t use them for what I intended. Now, they’re just sleeping shorts. I’d suggest ordering a size larger than you think you need!"

"The color is beautiful, the size is just right, and the packaging was great. The fabric quality is impressive. I will definitely buy again!"

"I bought these shorts for my son, who usually wears a medium in men's shorts. Unfortunately, I realized after purchasing that they were actually boys' sizes. Thankfully, my younger son could use them. He loves the design and says they're very comfortable and lightweight. I just wish they hadn't shown up in the men's category."

"These shorts are true to size and fit my 6-year-old son perfectly! The quality is impressive, and the price was amazing!"

"I purchased these for my tall, skinny 13-year-old who wears a medium 10-12. I opted for a large, which fits well in the waist but is a bit long. He can grow into them, and the material is comfortable and wrinkle-free."

"I bought these because it is so hard to find pocketless shorts. They did not disappoint! My son says they are comfortable and don't fall down when he runs. They have doubled as basketball shorts, which is a huge pro. Two sports, one short. They are about knee length, which he also likes. They aren't see-through, which is also a pro. I would definitely recommend these!"

"I love how these shorts fit my little soccer player so much that we ended up purchasing more. We wanted a longer style since it gets a bit cool during soccer season, and these were perfect! The shorts are well made, the color looks nice, and they are a good value for the money. I will definitely look to purchase more when the kiddos outgrow these. Thank you for delivering a quality product!"

"My 9-year-old daughter has gotten into soccer and is quite picky about her clothing. These shorts are perfect for her. She says they stretch nicely while playing and they're comfortable! She wears a size small."

"These shorts are lightweight and perfect for basketball! They fit just as I expected!"

"My child really enjoys these shorts. They have a silky cool feeling, and the stitching is well done. Plus, the colors are fantastic!"

"I found these to be very comfortable and the material is nice. They do run a little small, so I exchanged them for a bigger size, which fits perfectly now!"
