Customer Reviews New Balance Impact Run Shorts 3"

These fit great and aren't too long or too short. Very comfortable!

Love these shorts! Lots of storage space in the waist band - I am able to carry my keys and gels easily on runs. The material is lightweight and soft - perfect for both long runs and just wearing around the house. I generally fall in between sizes - went with the bigger size and the elastic drawstring keeps these shorts snug around my waist comfortably. Highly recommend!

Fits comfortably on waist. Doesn't move around. Right length - forgot they were on.

These shorts are awesome! I didn't notice anything uncomfortable when wearing them. The waist band also fit nicely, not too tight. They are the type of short you don't think about when running. Length was also great for running. I would get them again.

Love the pocket, perfect length to prevent chafing, and the waistband sits nice.

These are the perfect running short, and I will buy again.

New favorites. Comfortable waist and not the huge side slit. Look good running and not running.

As a tall girl with athletic/runner legs, I honestly find it really hard to find shorts that fit right (not too short or long) and are flattering. These are absolutely perfect! The fit is amazing, somehow they make your legs and butt look great! I also love the orange/peach/coral color. Definitely recommend!

Very happy with my short purchase. True to size very comfortable for running.

My new favorite shorts! I just tested them out on my long run and I love them! Perfect length, super lightweight, and no chafing!

great comfortable running short, they look great!!

I've used these shorts primarily for running so far and they have been awesome. The wide elastic waist band keeps them snug to my body (without feeling too tight) so they don't ride up. The fabric of the rest of the shorts feels lightweight, yet durable. They contour to my butt and upper thighs in a way that is flattering and still leaves some room for the shorts to hang so my movements are not restricted at all. I even used them for at-home yoga one day and they worked just as well for that! The back pocket is perfect for carrying keys or gels for a long training run. Would definitely get in other colors. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love these shorts. I do not typically run in shorts and live in Michigan (as soon as I got these, temps dipped back down in the 40s), but have found every excuse to put these on in my house and wear them around. They are incredibly light and versatile. I do not feel restricted at all during any movement or exercise (yoga, squats, etc.), and you honestly will forget there's any built in support because they are just so comfortable. I'm also a really big fan of the thicker waist band. I was nervous about them being short but they are not too short at all. I am 5'5, 133 lbs. and the small fit perfectly. Looking forward to purchasing more of these!

Background: I've tried numerous brands and styles of running shorts over the years in search of the perfect pair. I generally have the same complaints- too tight in the thigh for running, waist band digs in, not very stretchy, not flattering, etc. I usually give up and go back to wearing leggings on runs for this reason. These shorts do NONE of those things. Not one. The waistband is thick, doesn't roll over during a run or wearing them around the house, and is the softest material I've ever felt on a running short (almost like a legging material). The main material of the shorts is light and breathable, with the tiniest bit of stretch. The cut of these shorts is flattering enough to wear out in public, but also practical for running. I usually go between small and medium in running shorts (5''7", 145 lbs, 27 in waist). I chose medium for these and don't regret it, as the waistband has a little drawstring if you need it. The drawstring did twist a couple times within the waistband one time I wore these, but a few minutes of patience and I was able to sort it out. I've put about 8 miles on these so far and also worn them around the house. They wash up nicely and didn't hold any smell after washing. All things considered, these are fantastic shorts, and the comfortable waistband/short material puts them a cut above the rest. A little pricey when compared to other running shorts, but again, you're really getting what you pay for with these. Will recommend to all my running friends.

These shorts are awesome! I love how comfortable they are from the soft yet durable material and the way they fit. I've enjoyed wearing them for running and cross training because they aren't restrictive like I experience with other shorts. The wide waist band and storage pocket are a plus too. I would highly recommend these and would love to see more colors!

I love these shorts. I have 3 pairs. I like this fresh color. Wish they would make in more colors. In my 50's and don't feel like they are too short. 5'7 132 pounds. Thicker legs, so I usually order up, so I got the medium. Comfortable and easy to run in.

I love it! Great work out pants for anywhere anytime

Great shorts- however, I'm very confused by the other reviews that state a phone can fit in the back zippered pocket. The pocket is only about 2 inches deep, and the opening is less than 4 inches wide. My smaller-than-average Android phone is no where close to fitting in that size of a pocket.

Nice fabric but cut made shorts look odd. Not complimentary fit.

I love these shorts. They are lightweight and flat fronted and comfortable. The problem is I have purchased two pairs and wore both pairs twice and holes!! A severe design flaw- the elastic band separates from the short and holes develop in the waistband. Both pairs!!!
