"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."
"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!"
"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."
"I love the feel of the shorts. Very light. Having a booty makes them a title shorter than I’m comfortable with. Also I wish I had noticed the higher waist option. I would have ordered those instead. I was constantly pulling tank down to meet my shorts so there wasn’t a gap between material."
"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."
"My friend and I ordered these for our fitness race and go so many compliments!! Light airy shorts, the fabric is super comfortable and the colors are chefs kiss"
"Honestly the BEST running shorts I have ever purchased! They are so light weight and comfortable! Adding more to cart as we speak! Thanks team ☺️"
"These shorts are so light weight, non restrictive with the big hip split. The perfect pair of running shorts. I bought these as well as a mid-rise and much prefer the length of the high rise as it covered a my bum slightly more."
"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!"
"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)."
