Customer Reviews Brooks Method 5" Short Tights

Good heavy material but seems to run small.

Love these shorts! No rolling, riding up, moving around, etc. Sized up from my usual size and fits perfectly. Drawstring waist is a game changer for pear shaped runners. I own 3 pairs now. I am disappointed though that the logo immediately started peeling off though, it makes an otherwise high quality item seem cheap.

Like another reviewer said, the first mile or so they do ride up a little bit, but once you start sweating they will stay in place. It's kind of annoying at first, but after the first mile I forget about it. I also have to tie the drawstring really tight, so that the waistband stays put. Overall, they're definitely one of the better running shorts I've worn. I wish they would make these in a mid-waist.

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.

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.

I am 5'4" and 125lbs and the med was way too tight for me to run in. I returned. I will stick to my other Brook shorts and Goal Five brands.

I love the rise and the side pockets BUT!!!! My thighs still gobble these up and I spent more time adjusting them than almost any other running shorts I have. Also, the size chart predicted me to be a medium but I ordered a large. I would've looked like a stuffed sausage in the medium. Order up! I'll probably just use these for my lifting days now. Bummed.

Purchased these short tights for half marathon training. They look and feel great, the pockets are awesome, but around mile 3 they started to ride up painfully. I had to keep adjusting them and then cut my run short.

I love love loooooved my old Greenlight versions of Brooks shorts so much so that I stocked up years ago and wore them to death, literally. They saw me through several halfs and my first full marathon! So when it was time to re-up on shorts recently, I figured Brooks was a no-brainer. For reference, I've got a curvy athletic body type, with thick thighs, butt, the works. I need a bike short style to prevent chafing, and this Method version seems to be the only one they make right now. I ordered in two sizes Medium was so tiny I didn't even attempt to put it on, and Large technically fit but was so uncomfortable and unflattering. The seams dug into my thighs and created bubbles, they bunched awkwardly at the crotch, and the material felt tacky and stiff rather than smooth n sleek. Maybe they get better with a break-in, but they're expensive and I didn't want to risk it. I returned right away and had to switch to another brand. Brooks, please bring back the smoother styles!

They're so much thinner than previous Brooks running shorts. Although the pocket is nice and large for a phone, keys, chews, etc. but they don't have a zipper so there was no way I'd put anything of value in there for fear of it falling out. I feel like they run small as well. I generally wear a small but definitely would have needed a medium. I sent them back and didn't reorder. I'd be willing to pay the extra money to bring back my favorites that were discontinued. They were better made and love the zipper pocket. Now can't find anything that compares to the old Brooks compression shorts.
