shorts for a perfect world
I am a short, squat runner. Shorts made for runners have no inseam, and my thighs rub together. Shorts made for other sports have a long long inseam, and the entire crotch of the short bunches up as I run. So I didn't exactly have high hopes for these shorts, but I've moved to a hot climate and needed something that wasn't spandex. The inseam of these shorts is about 3-4 inches. I bought the size small, which fits me like a glove, and because of the no-sewing and no seams on the inseam, the material is smooth and stays put. It's just long enough to cover my thighs, while the slit on the outside gives freedom of movement. The pocket is a bit small, but at least there is a pocket. These were a pleasant surprise, and definitely worth the cost.
