Good quality shorts with 3 pockets.
Great shorts as they have 2 side pockets and zipped rear pocket. Surprisingly hard to find shorts like this elsewhere (when surely most people need keys & phone when running). This is my 3rd pair of shorts/capris from Sturdy and the fit is consistent across the range and quality very good. Received within 48 hours of ordering with the standard delivery.

Love sturdy by design
Love sturdy by design, it’s mostly all I wear now. Well made clothes that are great quality and comfortable to move in, great for work, dog walking, exercise, everything. And I love having leggings with pockets that stay up!

Surprise!
I’m so thrilled that I have gone to the size that the surprise leggings are in that despite ordering previously in the week I couldn’t resist ordering a pair of capris at a bargain price. Not sure I would have chosen that particular pattern, but they are perfectly acceptable and I enjoyed the lucky dip feeling. Thank you

Super comfy
I ordered my first leggins from this company just few days before a race as I thought I may need a spare ones if it rains. The delivery was fast. The quality is really good and oh my!!! are they comfy😍 I ended up using them as my main pair and have no regrets!!! Will definitely order more when the time comes to replace some of the older ones I have (I am running kore on the minimalist side of having things). Would definitely recommend.

The best company for sportswear
The best company for leggings and shorts. Whenever I wear them I always have comments about design and pattern. Not only very comfortable, but also slimming.
Fast and reliable delivery.

STURDY is my go to for leggings
Sturdy has been my first choice for gym leggings since I discovered them almost 10 years ago. Great choice of colours and designs, fit is great and they are hard wearing.

I love Sturdy by design tights
Very easy to order. The items always come on time. Very good quality tights, capris.
Would love to have some longer shorts though for the taller lady. The long ones are way too short. Understand it’s difficult to cater for everyone though. Love that there’s a toggle with the leggings. Oh and the token chocolate is a lovely gesture too.

I liked the product however I had to pay customs duty on it which made the items a lot more than I wanted to spend.

Prompt quality
Sturdy always despatch quickly in robust packaging. The quality of their leggings and other items it consistently brilliant. Their leggings wash really well, are squat proof and keep their shape unlike others. It is great that they do three leg lengths especially as a shorty. Worth every penny!
