Great For Running

Doesn’t ride up while running! Worth every penny if you run a lot.

Perfect For Trail Running

got for trail running so that I could put my phone and gu in my shorts - can put a ton in without the shorts falling down and they are cute. win-win for me

Ride Up Instantly, Chaffing

I was hoping that in a 5” length these shorts would prevent thigh chaffing. Unfortunately they ride up instantly—well before the running starts. I should have just gone for the 3” and just used body glide to avoid 2” of material bunched up—so not comfortable.

These Ride Up Like Crazy

I don't really even have the thickest of thighs or anything crazy but these will not stop riding up. They are awful for running which is what they're advertised for

Almost Good. How About A Redo?

I’ve put several miles in these so this is a fair review. What I liked: 1) they’re not insanely high waisted, a hard thing to find these days; 2) pockets are great, and 3) material feels nice. What I did NOT enjoy: the pant legs don’t stay put. Maybe if I had beefy running legs they would stay put, or if I had less of a gut and could fit in an XS (I’m 127lb and 5’ 5”). Will be returning.

Super Comfy!

These ran slightly bigger than I anticipated. I’m typically a medium in fitted bottoms as small is too tight around the waist, but I probably could have done a small. The medium’s are still fine.

Doesn’t Prevent Chafing

I have thick thighs and have bought 1 pair of running shorts that were perfect. I think Nike discontinued them so I searched for their next best option. Given that these are running shorts and longer length I assumed they’d be perfect I was wrong. They roll up so much the chafing was instantly. Ima medium in all my Nike bottoms and they fit well all around so I think it’s certainly the material that needs fixing. These are NOT good running shorts. Even with the phone in the pocket nothing kept these down. Very unfortunate.

Size Up

Size medium does not fit like and 8-10 these fit more like a 4. Sizing way off. Shorts ride up too much making it uncomfortable to wear.

The Perfect Running Shorts – Comfortable, Flattering, And Functional!

The Nike Women’s Swift High-Waisted 4" Tight Running Shorts with Pockets are my new go-to for runs and workouts. The high-waisted fit is super flattering and stays in place—no rolling or riding up, even during sprints. The fabric is smooth, stretchy, and breathable, keeping me comfortable in any weather. I especially love the pockets—they’re deep enough to securely hold my phone, keys, or gels without bouncing. These shorts combine performance and style perfectly, and after several washes, they still look and feel brand new. A must-have for active women—solid 5 stars!

Pockets!

I bought this for long runs during marathon training because it has 3 pockets for gets, keys, etc. they rode up a tad at first but once I start seating they stay in place.

Feels Great

These feel great on, smooth, soft fabric and good true to size fit

Almost…but Not Quite 😕

Let’s start with the positive; The material is great. As advertised, it is fitted but not too fitted. The waist is just high enough and has a drawstring that assures me that these sagging is not going to be an issue with these shorts. The water bottle that I carry during long races fits into the side pockets. The negatives: without even going for a test run, I can tell that these shorts are going to ride up. I don’t think that it’s simply the 4 inch length, either. These are women’s running shorts. Whomever designed these did not account for the fact that women are not simply smaller men. When we run, we develop muscles in our legs and our shorts need to have enough room to fit those muscles! I am talking quads and hamstrings here. And yes, we come in all shapes and sizes. I am 5’4 and 119 lbs. I am not super skinny, but I am fairly lean and have developed muscles with years of training. The bottom of these shorts hit right in the middle of the thickest part of my leg. If there were an elastic grip on the interior of the leg it would probably fix the issue. Or just make the legs wider.

Not A Great Fit

I didn’t like these at all, sorry. The pockets were baggy and the shorts felt loose. Sent them back.
