Happy with these

Was looking for something less compressive, similar to the Flyte shorts that I don't think are available anymore. These have a similar soft, stretchy feeling, but are made of more substantial material, and have a back pocket, which holds a phone easily. I ordered a size 8 (my usual for Oiselle). I'm 5'3" and 140 lbs. I possibly could have sized down for more compression, but they don't slip while running due to the wide waistband (even with a phone in the pocket), and I don't mind that they're less constricting. Haven't had issues with them riding up.

The best running shorts. Lightweight, perfect length and they never ride up.

New favorite

These are my new favorite running shorts. The only thing that could make them better would be pockets on the legs. I love the waist band, doesn’t dig. True to size. For reference, what works for me: I’m 5’2”, 130lbs, 28” waist, 38” hips, 22” quads. Size 6 fits perfectly!!

Love!

Maybe I need to size down, but my usual size 6 isn’t compressive at all. The waistband is so soft and comfortable! I wore these for a 6 mile speed workout and they didn’t budge. Loved them! The only thing I wish they had was a smaller, more secure pocket for my key. The zipper pocket is big enough for my phone and keys, but they bang against each other and the sound bugged me. The open pocket didn’t feel secure enough for a key. A little slip pocket in the front of the waistband would make these shorts absolutely perfect for me. 5 stars anyway, because I love them.
