They’re pretty perfect!

I’ve been eyeing these shorts for a LONG time and finally bought a pair on sale! Well wow… they are so good! I finally found a pair to replace my dying favorites and I’ve been searching for a while! The material is so light and flowy and the cut is just perfect!

AFO Middle Short

My favorite thing about these shorts is the waist band. It’s softer and less tight than previous versions making them super comfortable long run shorts. I own 6 pairs now :)

Nice shorts

They are great to run in and very comfortable. They are very short though. I'd say closer to 2-2.5in vs. 3in.
