Zella Shorts
Please Please make these in a 10” length. Zella needs a longer version for women over 50 years old.

mind blown from size difference
These may be my favorite shorts. I have been wearing a large (5’9” and 175 pounds.) now at 165 and need a smaller size. The medium are like an extra small. 3 inches difference in waist. I am sooo disappointed In the brand. This is unacceptable and the reason why girls have image and label issues. This is not okay!

Favorite Running Shorts
Great shorts. Great quality. The wide waistband is key for us chubbier runners if we don't like feeling like there's a big ole muffin top hanging out there when we run. Plus! They make my butt look cute.

sporty shorts
Amazing! Affordable, super comfortable, and good quality. The waist band is my favorite part. I bought them in navy and I would buy in black if they were already sold out. I ordered a S and I’m 5’4 and weigh around 117lbs!

best running shorts EVER!
The waist doesn’t roll or move, the inner brief stays put and fits like the best fitting underwear ever, the length of the shirt is perfect, but too long, not too short, easy to move in, easy to stretch in, zipper pocket in back is super easy to use with one hand, holds license and truck keys, in 7 years of running and many, many brands of shorts I have never had a pair of shorts fit so good. I tried to buy more but they were sold out. Please, please bring these shorts back!! 5’6”, 140#, med. athletic build(like my clothing not tight)

Hands down the best athletic shorts ever. Blow lululemon out of the water, in my opinion. They are so comfy and flattering. I am a size 27 in jeans and ordered size M
