Running shorts praised for breathable, moisture-wicking material and "useful pockets" for long-distance runs. Customers love the comfort and compression fit. However, significant sizing issues reported - shorts run small with inaccurate measurements. Some quality concerns about durability. Price considered high by some shoppers.

Do not waste your money! These shoes are not well-made. The cut is absolutely wrong, and the measurements in the description are too. O regularly wear size L but I ordered XL just in case and the XL are too small. The size chart states fits a 35–38 inch waist. The actual waist measurement of the shorts is approximately 32 inches.

I purchased the Men's Elite Air Running Shorts

I purchased the Men's Elite Air Running Shorts for long runs over 10 miles. The extra storage space and light weight were a major draw for me. Upon receiving the shorts, they fit slightly small compared to other brands, but the material feels nice on the skin. Overall, they service a propose but I might have been better off sizing up.

A bit of a nitpick but important to me. I don’t care of fashion very much but the two large looking “E”s stamped on each leg are ugly. Why so large? A subtle emblem is fine, but why an overbearing looking emblem on each leg?
