Customer Reviews New Balance Impact Run Shorts 5"

Love these shorts! True to size, length is perfect, and so very comfortable!!! If had I had to say anything negative maybe wish they had side pockets instead of pocket in the back waistband.

Cool, breezy, and comfortable. Ideal for fitness in general and for summer

My favorite running shorts! Right length, comfortable stretchy waist, zipper pocket in back for keys and perfect fit checks all the boxes for me! I have several and all have held up well thru many washings!

These shorts the the absolute best! They are so comfy, I only wish they came in more colors so I could buy those too!

Great shorts. The insides don't ride up when you walk or run, and the back pocket actually fits my iPhone 7 so I can exercise hands-free.

I love how comfortable the waistband is and I appreciate the 5" inseam.

I shy away from shorts for running because almost all shorts ride up on me. These are a great combo of not too tight on the hips or waist to be uncomfortable, but still snug. Legs are cut just right to cover thighs, prevent rubbing, and no riding up! For reference -5'9", 150, size 6. Wearing these on runs up to 20 miles long.

I love these shorts, as they are comfortable and light weight. I wish new balance would send me free stuff...lol....best company ever

Love these running shorts, My favorite by far. Perfect fit and great length.

I needed a short and came exactly what I want. Love the brand and fit perfect on my and perfect for go to run.

They are comfortable and good for running. Run true to size

Great shorts to run in. Very comfortable! Can't go wrong with these!

Comfortable and well fitting run shorts. Not too short

For those of us who grew up enjoying the benefits of Title 9 athletics (ladies, you know our generation!) and love being active but do not enjoy wearing teeny-tiny running shorts, these are the shorts for you! I love to run but at 41 most running shorts are made for teenagers! Seriously apparel companies - get with the program - not everyone wants or can wear ittty-bitty bottoms. These are a flattering length and very comfortable. I really recommend.

These shorts are great! Lightweight and no chafing, even on sweaty, long runs. I will be buying more pairs.

I now have 3 pairs of these shorts in various colors. I am 65yo, 5'4" and about 122 lbs with a rather straight body. I wear a small in these shorts. I love the longer length of the inseam with shorter length on the outside of my leg. The waistband is high enough to be comfortable. The pockets are great, especially the one with the zipper for a key. I've been wearing them on super hot days, 86 degrees and high humidity and they wick away the sweat.

I have gone through many brands and pairs of running shorts trying to find the best ones to wick away sweat, not stick to me throughout my run on hot days and yet breathable, and these nail it! I absolutely love these shorts and am about to buy another pair right now. I'm 5'6", 143 pounds and find a medium fits perfectly. Do yourself a favor and buy these shorts!

Love these shorts! I am usually a size 8 or M. Ordered these in a L since running shorts usually run small and ended up returning for a M. The fit is perfect and the legs are baggy enough. I have a more athletic build so shorts usually fit snug on the legs but these are great. Will probably order a few more pairs!

Best shorts ever, curvy figure. I usually have problems finding a fit due to small wait and full hips! Love these and same for daughter, totally compliments our figure!

Great for running; runs true to size, comfortable and breathable. Wish there were more color or pattern options- would buy more!

I love the material and the cut/ style is great for running shorts or just hot summer days!

I use this product daily. I have many other colors and designs from previous seasons.

When I first put these on I thought the waist was a bit snug - especially when getting these to go over my hips - but the legs were nice and airy once on - so I decided not to go up a size (For reference, I'm pear shaped, 5'7" 160lbs, and ordered Medium). However, when running, the waist loosened up a tad and I was glad I didn't return these for a larger size. These are a great alternative to super short running shorts since they're more modest but still feel like you aren't wearing anything. I wore them on a 4 mile run and they did ride up on mile 2 but with a little adjusting they stopped and it didn't seem to be a persistent issue. These will likely be my go to summer running shorts or even my summer "walk the dog" shorts. I hope NB makes more colors!

I bought both colors the blue and black and they are amazing! They fit perfect and are the perfect length. I LOVE them! Please make them in more colors

LOVE these running shorts. Perfect for my gymnastic thighs. Flattering and comfortable. I bought both the black and marine blue. Would buy more in a variety of colors if they were available! I wear them all the time!
