Reviews

The best shorts you will ever wear.

"The best running short! I al a size 14-16 and wear these in an XXL. The cut of the short is both freeing and covering for a beautiful flow and performance. The fabric is light, no texture or rubbing making these one of the most comfortable pairs of shorts I own. I allllways get compliments too. I’m an hourglass shape with a mum tum so I prefer to size up one size to help with personal preference on aesthetics."

Stepping Outside My Comfort Zone 💗

"I absolutely love my Accelerate 3” High-Rise Running Shorts in Boysenberry/Pink Rose! The comfort, amount of space, texture, and colour combination are everything. I’m usually not one for bright colours, but I wanted to step outside my comfort zone. I originally purchased these as a statement piece to celebrate completing my first half marathon, and honestly, I’ve never looked back! They made the milestone feel even more special, and I’m so happy I went for something outside my usual style. They’re comfortable, practical, and the colour combo is gorgeous. I would definitely purchase more!"

— Josie S. (5/5)

Comfortable, Colorful & Great for Running

"Super comfortable and easy to move in! I love the color and design. I wore these for an 8K run on my first try and really liked the fit and feel. However, I noticed the fabric rubbing against itself and a few loose stitches afterward. Overall, still a good purchase and very comfortable for running."

— Maricar L. (5/5)

The perfect run short

"Perfect for running. So light weight and flexible for movement. In love with all the colours. I sized up so they are a bit longer and didn’t find them overly big. Nice fit and drawstring feature on the waist so can always tighten them up. Would definitely recommend for warmer climates."

— Jackalyn M. (5/5)

SO GOOD

"Light and comfortable, id say fit a liiiittttlle but in the smaller size. I’m usually between a small and medium and ordered a small. They’re good but prob in the future will get a medium!"

— Shala R. (5/5)

Best colour combos!

"My favourite material for shorts, super lightweight, quick drying and the colour has not faded yet after 12+ washes. I would say true to size, I’m usually a small 6 and I wear a size XS. I have 6 pairs of these and will happily buy more as further colour combos come are released. No shrinkage at all from washing, (I line dry inside)."

— Danielle W. (5/5)

Best running shorts imo

"I’ve tried so many running shorts from different brands, they either don’t come up high enough, or give me a nappy bum or are just too heavy. These are perfect and so flattering on. Only thing I will say though is if you like to colour coordinate your outfits the teal and pink leaves you limited to what you can wear with them. But that’s just me being an odd ball."

— Hannah C. (5/5)

Perfect running shorts, barely notice they're on

"These are fantastic running shorts and the lining is great. I like the slit on the side because it doesn't restrict my running. Would purchase again! I did purchase in a medium and they fit 'just right'. For reference, I'm 5'7" and 135lbs with an athletic build."

— Alicia O. (5/5)

Lightweight and breezy

"Very lightweight, only negative is that I’d like a bigger pocket and maybe at the front for my key as I worry it might fall out and the fabric often gets caught between your legs a little as you run so you may find yourself pulling on them during your run otherwise so light and breathable and great to jump in ocean or pool afterwards."

— Laura H. (4/5)

Speedy shipping, came in time

"Speedy shipping, came in time for City to Bay. Daughter absolutely loves them. XS was a great fit."

— Sharon E. (5/5)
