Customer Reviews New Balance Impact Run Shorts 5"

I bought these running shorts in blue and loved them so much that I bought them in black, too. I would buy them in other colors if they were available. I went with Medium which is the size I normally buy in running shorts and they fit perfectly. I am 5'5" and have gymnastic legs from years competing in high school. I was thrilled to find shorts that were flattering, comfortable, well-made, and look great on my legs!

Great quality, I ordered the wrong size.

Bought in medium size. Runs small and short. I’m 5’2”, size 4-6. Gave these to my granddaughter….she loves them. Great fabric and style. Will try a large size for me.

these are cute but run a little small. once i lose 5lbs i'll fit in them

I bought these shorts because I loved the shape and style. I ordered a medium because I wanted to be safe with length and my bigger bum (I'm a size 4-6) - I may have been able to get away with a small... a little longer (I'm short) than I predicted but as a runner it gives you a better piece of mind that you are covered. Lots of room to move and higher waist- love! Built in underwear too.

These have a goofy fit. The wide bad didn’t sit high enough on my waist, causing a weird bubble gut. The length feels much longer than 5 inches.

I have a long torso and always have a hard time with things fitting in length from waist to pubic bone. This didn't work for me.

I really wanted to like these shorts, but the large was too big and the medium was too small. They're cute, but just a little too short for this 5'10" gal. Returned them.

I was very excited to try these out - the flat, wide waistband and the longer inseam for this 6'2 girl seemed perfect! But when they arrived, the outside is cut so high it completely negates the "longer" inseam. Back they went - bummer!

Pocket in back very small

The fabric and fit was fine but they flared out and look like wings on my thighs! I'll be returning these.

I tried multiple sizes, the fit is off. Material was soft, but will be returning them.

These shorts run small. I'm usually a solid medium but these were extremely tight and uncomfortable. They also don't have a typical drawstring to tighten so a size up would've been too big. Very disappointing.

This is actually a small not a medium. The sizing SM is misleading. These shorts do come in a medium and they are great.

Last years 5" run shorts were incredible. Not this year...the blue color is amazing but the side flap goes toward the front of the short when it should be directed to the back to be more flattering. Plus, it fits snug in the rear end area and I have a very small rear end. Very disappointed!!
