Customer Reviews Brooks Method 5" Short Tights

I love the space to stash nutrition and other items for long runs. The shorts did ride up a little bit.

Love the material of these shorts. They don?t pill or ride up. The back pocket is big enough to fit my iPhone XR with a case plus my keys and I don?t need to fumble with a zipper. I?ve worn them for 10+ mile runs and they are great. They do run small though. I?m 135 and 5?5 with a 27 waist and the medium fits but it?s pretty snug. I?m probably going to order the large and see how they fit.

I ordered these shorts as I thought I might want this option for the NYC marathon. I ordered my usual medium and they were very tight on me. Had to return. The large might've been a better fit for me. The material was comfortable, but unfortunately can't comment on the performance of the shorts. Highly recommend sizing up!

My new favorite shorts. They stay put, don't ride up or slide down (huge win for thicker thighs!). And the only hot spot was the tag, but once I tore that out, I was good to go. My phone fits great in the side pocket, but made me nervous in the back pocket. A little snap would make it better.

Love the material! I?ve done a couple of five mile runs and the shorts stayed in place. I do find that they creep when doing lots of squats in a HIIT workout hence four stars. Looking forward to giving them more of a workout as the temps increase

Love the fit and style but made for not so strong of thighs.

Love the length + waist fit on these but absolutely not for bigger thighs. So tight I had to return them.

I was really hoping that these wouldn't ride up and they'd prevent chaffing for long runs and races, but on my first 6 mile run in them one leg rode up completely. It was a comfortable enough pair of shorts for a short run like that though, and the material feels high quality.

I was really excited to try these, but I was pretty disappointed. They ride up pretty bad. I have ran in them twice now, because I thought maybe the first time was a fluke, but both times I kept having to pull them down. I also used them for a couple lifting workouts and that was even worse, but to be fair they are RUNNING shorts not lifting shorts I can forgive the lifting side of things. But, since I can't even use them to run in, I will be returning. They are also not flattering on me. I am usually between a size small and a size medium. I have two pairs of the Brooks Chaser shorts, which are a looser fit, and I wear a size small. I ordered a medium in these since they are a tighter fit. Even though I sized up, I still felt like they squeezed out my leg fat in a bad way. Not a good look.

I love the short but I didn???t realize how short these are. (I guess I have a longer pair). They tend to ride up???but the compression is great. And the phone pockets are very secure.

These shorts are a little disappointing. They look and feel good, but one leg rides up while I run and the other side stays in place.

Way smaller than all my other larges. Disappointed. I should have read the reviews before purchasing. :(

Loved the fit but too short for me. They were super comfortable but definitely not enough inner thigh coverage. I returned them and exchanged for the 8".

I like the pockets and the fit. I don't love the frantic - it's on the thinner side, feels a bit cheap, and doesn't have much stretch.

The shorts look nice and have great pockets but they are sized wrong. The medium should be small. I had to send it back. I ordered the 8 inch length and they were sized correctly.

Runs too small, and is made of tighter and less soft fabric than lululemon's similar shorts. I do like the pockets and ran without chafing in high humidity.

It was a little too tight on me. It is probably I have bigger butt for my little body. I'd get the larger size.

These say semi compression however they feel like full compression otherwise they are great. I ordered in my usual size large. I'm 5'3" about 155lbs for reference

Great product, just too short for my taste. That's on me, not Brooks.

I wore these on a run followed by a strength workout. I like the pockets and the material is very comfy. However, the tights kept coming up my thighs and I had to keep pulling them down.

Very nice material, sturdy but not warm. Pockets are great. Downside is that they really cut in my thighs, as they are compression shorts they run very small so size up esp if your thigh/waist ratio is high.

I wanted a pair of shorts that would hold my phone without pulling down . I think these would have been good for this. The fit was really tight and I read several reviews that the short ride up while running. This was enough for me to return them.

I bought these shorts because they are tight like my preferred style and they are a longer length so I was hoping they would prevent chaffing. As someone that used to run long distances competiving during college, I used to fight a losing battle with chaffing on my inner thighs. I am now starting to train for longer distances again and at first these shorts worked great! For the first couple of months I was easing back into it with 3 miles or less every day. Now as I start to increase my milage I am starting to see chaffing again, but not in the usual way. Before I used to see chaffing in large patches on my inner thigh where the skin would rub together, but on my slightly longer runs (5 and 6 miles) I find that I am chaffing in a line where the seam of the shorts is rubbing against my leg. These used to be my go to shorts and I loved them so much that I bought 6 pairs, but now I back to square one as I continue to increase my milage. I would definitely recommend these shorts for anyone doing low milage runs, but probably not for longer distances.

Ordered a size S - my other brooks biker shorts that I'm obsessed with are a size S. These were too tight around the thighs and I will sadly be returning for a bigger size. Size up! My measurements are 5'4 and 115lbs

The material is thicker than expected & they do ride up.
