New Balance Women''s 5-Inch Tempo Short

I purchased this short in two versions of black, one with white piping, the latter being a bit more attractive. The short is styled as a running short but a little longer than the usual 3" style, something I was looking for since I am an older competitive runner. I like that it does not flare out at the sides, staying close to the thigh although not feeling tight. It does not have a split leg but does have an inner liner and deep side pockets, one of which has a long "in case of emergency" streamer sewn in on which you can write contact information, a very nice feature. These shorts are less useful in the gym, however. A credit card I had tucked in the pocket fell out during a knee raise exercise and the longer length inhibited smooth elevation of my knees into a 90 degree position. So it is an excellent short for running/jogging purposes. I find compression shorts more suitable for gym workouts.

These short were pretty much true to size. I like the fact that they went farther down on the leg than most running shorts. The pocket on the inside is very small, too small to fit anything you would really want to carry while running. The shorts were very poofy in the front, esspecially when you bend your legs. I returned them because this is not very flattering on, well, anyone. The side pockets were a good size, but I wish there was a zipper or buttons to keep your phone from falling out. If you want a running short that is very roomy, then these are for you. I also was not a big fan of the built-in underwear. In the end it is up to you and what style you like to wear, but these were not for me.
