Customer Reviews New Balance 4" Impact Shorts

I've been a runner for over 30 years, and as a 45-year-old runner mom, I take my running seriously enough to put comfort first. I actually really love the short compression shorts for running, because they are minimal enough to be cool, and I have found compression shorts to be much less likely to cause chafing issues than the traditional liner that's been in running shorts for years. However, there's that little dilemma of modesty and age-appropriateness. As I said- I put comfort first. I want to put in the miles and if it means I look a little goofy or inappropriate, I'm fine with it. But the 2-in-1 shorts are totally the best of both worlds! You have the comfort of compression and the appropriateness of a traditional looser short. I love these shorts. I don't like compression shorts with the band at the bottom. They hug any loose skin or extra fat, and it's just not cute, or attractive. The bottoms on these is perfect. It may ride up, but you've got the coverage of the short, so who cares, as long as it's still comfortable? The only downside: the short is a little bit wide and skirt-like, at least on me, and I don't have skimpy thighs. If you can get past that, and I definitely can, these are a win-win for sure!

Very nice. The biker short doesnt budge.
