Best Running Shorts for Women of 2025

"I absolutely love these shorts! The material is lightweight and high quality for a good price. The thick waistband gives me the perfect coverage and fit. I just wish they had pockets and more colors!"

"These shorts are fantastic! I own them in three different colors and wear them regularly during the warmer months. They are made with great quality and hold up well for all my activities."

"I'm really pleased with the fit. As a size 12-14 (UK), I found them to be comfortable and cool for the gym. The coverage is excellent, especially on the hip-adductor machine, where other shorts can be too revealing!"

"I've purchased many pairs of these perfect shorts and will continue to do so whenever they go on sale. They fit true to size, the waistband is flat and flattering, and the pockets have zips. The boy short liner is oh so soft, and they don't ride up or chafe. I do 20 miles a week or more in them. They wash well in cold and dry quickly. I'm pleased to support this women-owned business."

"I absolutely love these shorts! They are incredibly comfortable and true to size. I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs, and I bought size small. I liked them so much that I purchased them in multiple colors. The under short is fantastic; it doesn't ride up when I run, and there are four pockets for convenience. The material feels soft and light but not cheap."

"These are my new favorite shorts! They have a high-waisted fit with a thicker waistband. The material is very stretchy and comfortable, and I appreciate the four pockets—two zipped and two in the liners. As a PE teacher in Florida's heat and humidity, these shorts are perfect! The length is just right, and they don't ride up."

"I was on the lookout for new workout shorts and decided to purchase these. The seller had a great variety of clothing available. The shorts fit me well and have a light, airy feel. They arrived on time, and I'm very happy with my choice. Plus, they didn't shrink in the dryer! I would definitely order again!"

"My wife is really enjoying these shorts. They are incredibly comfortable, keep her cool, and are just the right length. She finds them perfect for working out, and they can be worn over a swimsuit for extra coverage when swimming."

"I really like these shorts overall. They fit well, though I feel the sizing chart might be a bit inaccurate. I bought an XL based on the chart, but it feels a bit too roomy; I usually wear an L. The fabric is fantastic and incredibly lightweight. However, I must mention that they have poor pocket design—only one small zippered pocket. It barely fits my ID and a key, making it a bit frustrating for everyday use."

"I have three pairs of these shorts already. They are super comfortable, airy, and perfect for summer. I can easily wear them to the beach, at the grocery store, or while working out. I recommend sizing up if you are curvy; I went with a Medium instead of my usual Small, and they fit perfectly!"

"I bought these shorts on a whim because I realized I was wearing the same old running shorts that I didn’t really like. I’m so glad I invested in these! The fit is true to size, and they are incredibly lightweight, which is great in the Alabama heat. My husband thinks they are super flattering, and I definitely plan to repurchase!"

"I ordered two sizes just to be safe after reading reviews about sizing. My normal size fits perfectly, and I love the pink color and the pocket for my keys. However, I noticed they tend to ride up when I jog, but I'm still keeping them!"

"I find them super comfortable and easy to move in without any embarrassing gaps."

"After multiple washes, they still haven't shrunk or lost their shape, which I absolutely love!"

"I usually avoid running shorts, but I took a chance on these. I'm thrilled I did! They fit perfectly, are lightweight, and resemble Lululemon styles at a fraction of the price. I ended up buying another set of five because of the comfort and value!"

"I purchased these for running, and I'm really pleased with how comfortable and lightweight they are. The colors are beautiful, and I've received so many compliments when wearing them!"

"I ordered an XL, thinking they would be small, but they are just barely big enough. The waist feels very tight despite having a drawstring. If you have a narrow waist, you might find these to fit perfectly!"

"I found these shorts to be super comfortable and they fit just right. The deep pockets easily hold my iPhone and keys without any worries. I loved them so much that I purchased a second pair!"

"These shorts fit snugly and I appreciate the roomy pockets. The vibrant color always gets me excited for my workouts!"

"I really wanted to love these shorts. The material was comfortable and the color matched perfectly with the picture, but the size was off for me. I went with a large, thinking it would fit my waist, but the legs were very baggy. I ended up returning them."

“I finally decided to write a review because these shorts are just that great! I've bought about 20 pairs in various colors and wear them constantly. They are comfortable for everything from workouts to grocery errands. The color barely fades after many washes, and the elastic remains intact. I'm 5'2" and usually wear size XS, but the Breeze Blue color fit a bit small.”

“I hardly ever write reviews, but these shorts are so comfortable that I had to share! I'm replacing all my Nike shorts with these because they make my waist look tiny. I ordered a medium, and while they fit well, they might be a bit loose. I’m a size 6, and they perfectly hide my love handles without squeezing. They do ride up a little during workouts, but it’s easily adjustable.”

“I was between sizes and ended up keeping both small and medium. The medium fits well around the waist but is a bit baggier, while the small fits perfectly but doesn’t quite meet my high-waisted expectations. The waistband is thick and hides my mom belly without being too tight. Overall, I love both sizes and really enjoy CRZ Yoga products!”

“I was searching for some modest shorts for kickboxing that weren't too tight or baggy. These shorts are perfect, providing the best of both worlds. Sure, the pockets are a bit odd, and I wish the biker shorts were a tad shorter, but I can easily roll them up. They are stretchy, comfortable, and at $7.50 each, you can't beat the price!"

“I recently bought these shorts in both pink and black for hiking, and while they are lightweight and comfortable, I was disappointed with the stitching quality as it started to unravel after a few uses. The backward pockets are also inconvenient, only useful for small items. I might keep them for lounging or as a pool cover-up.”

“I find these shorts to be incredibly comfortable and they fit me just right. They don’t ride up, and the durable quality really stands out. Plus, they look adorable on!”

"I absolutely love these shorts! The fabric is incredibly soft and thick, providing a smoothing effect. They fit perfectly, and I can run without any worry of them riding up. Plus, the pockets are super handy for my essentials. I’ve had my oldest pair for three years, and they still look great!"

"After trying one pair, I immediately bought two more! The material is soft with perfect stretch, fitting me just right. The waistband stays in place, and they don’t ride up during workouts. They are the ideal length for when I want coverage without going too long!"

"These are hands down the most comfortable workout shorts I've ever worn! The fabric is soft yet thick, and they are completely squat-proof! I love the pockets for my phone and keys, and they fit snugly without rolling down. I’m definitely ordering more pairs!"
