Brooks

Method 7/8 Tight - Women's

Love the pattern and really want to love running in these but the waist just doesn't stay in place. Could be good for cross-training but doesn't work for me for running

Like these leggings, fit well. True to size. Comfortable.

Run slightly large

I bought these and have run in them only three times so far. I’m not curvy and have a low waist to hip ratio (I’m basically a brick, lol). I’m 5’4” with a bit of a long torso and found the length to be about an inch above my ankles, which was perfect. I weigh in the mid 130s and based on a 28” waist measurement per the Brooks size guide, I bought the large size pants. If I were to purchase again, I would pick the medium size - the pants are a bit loose and I was looking for more compression. Definitely had to tighten the waist drawstring to keep them in place, which is not my preference but not a big deal. The weight of the fabric was just enough to keep me from getting too cold on a 28 degree night run and still was comfy on a day run in the high 60s. Ran in the rain with them on another day and they didn’t feel cold and wet at the end of my run. Overall pleased with these pants but will buy a size smaller next time because they run a bit loose.

Felt great on a 5k track run. As with other Method bottoms, be prepared for your pockets to get sweaty! These stayed put nicely though, no need to hoist the waistline, and they fit well around my hips and thighs.

So disappointed by how small the run. The air holes are itchy and overall the fit was not good. The top rolls down and they aren't high-waisted enough.

Compression Happy

Quality is great! Sizing is off though. I got the Run Raisin in a large (5ft2, 30 waist, 43 hip) and they fit but are really snug. I'll try in an XL and see if that helps. The material is pretty nice though! I wore them to the gym for a weight lifting day and didn't worry about any sort of see-through issues. They did roll down every once in a while but I think that might be the sizing issue.

Strange sizing

These have a strange fit. I am a true medium, but after reading the reviews I decided to size up. I was able to get the tights on fine and have worn them on several runs and cross training workouts, but I am very paranoid the seams will bust at some point. Also like another reviewer said- sometimes the was it band rolls down/ folds over and other times it's fine. Not a deal breaker, but a little bit annoying.

I love the pattern on these tights, but am not thrilled with the length. A bit too much of my ankle is exposed and that isn't ideal in colder weather. Because the tights are a thicker material, I would choose to wear these in the cold and so now I pair them with some tall socks instead.

Returned as the smooth/shiny inner waist band felt weird. Tights kept slipping and falling down.

Meh

These were not my favorite. The color looked on screen and by description as red…nope orange. This got wasn’t for me, I am short and these were really high waisted. I did love the perforations in the legs. Unfortunately, these went back.
