These shorts aren't too short to be uncomfortable, either on the runner or someone who sees you running in them. They do their job and their isn't much more you need from a pair of running shorts.

There not much here. No flashy features, minimal number of pockets. But they just work. The fabric is super light and doesn't get heavy when you're sweating hard. Liner is great: supportive, but not too tight (for me at least - this seems to be something runners can't agree on). Freedom of motion is fantastic. Length (on the short side) is great for running, but you might feel a little exposed if you're wandering around the shopping mall afterwards! For longer runs, however, it might be nice to have a rear pocket to hold gels or energy bar.

The legs are really wide. My wife said they made me look like a dork.
