Best running short, life changing

Love my shorts, they are the best. Totally changed my life. I’m a bigger girl and struggle with chaffing. It’s so nice to be able to run in a pair of shorts and feel comfortable, I don’t get any chaffing, love all the different styles.

Perfect!

Did what you are not supposed to do and ordered a pair of Happy Stride shorts two days before London Marathon because the forecast was HOT. Needed two leg pockets to stash T1 diabetes kit and these were perfect. No chafing, comfortable, eye- catching and made me feel very confident.

Best of all, realised I had swapped my delivery and billing addresses, a mistake which was immediately undone by Happy Stride and they arrived safely the next day. Above and beyond.

No chafing!

Snap decision to buy my first Happystride running shorts with pockets just a week before the London marathon (mine were too hot for the expected temperatures.) Ordered at 2.30pm Good Friday and picked up at 4.30pm! Gorgeous parrot print with no parrots cut in half! Only tried them out once before the Big Day and absolutely NO CHAFING or problems. So comfy and practical! Highly recommend!

FANTASTIC

I got delivery of my latest three pairs of shorts today. I now have six pairs of HS shorts and they are BY FAR the best running shorts out there. They’re comfortable, practical, and look great. I’ve got bright colours for the early morning and late night runs and other ones I just love the look of. Thanks for such a good service and such great products. Can’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic service and fabulous shorts

Fantastic service and fabulous shorts. I left it late to order shorts for the London marathon but they arrived the day after I ordered them. I also wasn’t sure which size I needed and ordered two pairs. It was an easy process to return the pair I didn’t need.
The shorts are great with a pocket on each thigh on the inner legging and a back zipped pocket so plenty of room for all the essentials. I ordered the haggis hunters 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and got lots of shout outs from the crowds “love your shorts”
I love them too! 💙

Exactly as advertised

I've been getting into running this year with a big focus on doing Parkrun on Saturdays and more recently branching out into running during the week after work. Naturally, the washing load has increased, so I went on the hunt for running clothes that stood out a little bit, not everything has to be plain black and other block colours! I was impressed with how fast the delivery arrived, I really noticed the difference when using the wrap it as a headband, in that I was able to see when I was running instead of fighting the sweat off my eyelids - and the shorts are an ideal fit and exactly as advertised. Really pleased with it, will definitely be back for more next pay day!

Would highly recommend product and company!

Fast delivery and a happy with the quality of the shorts. Would highly recommend product and company!

Union Jack Shorts: Really nice fit and comfortable inner lining.
Would have preferred the Union Jack blue instead of purple but I guess it's unique. I'd also like to see side pockets. Finally, hopefully see the St George Cross represented soon.
