The best shorts ever!!!
I came across Happystride via a lot of ladies at the run club I've just joined (MileShy up in Manchester). First thing I noticed was the incredible selection of colours and patterns they had so I needed to check out the whole range. After spending a long time trying to decided which fab pattern to choose from I ordered Cheetahs always win and when they arrived I fell in love. Not only are they made for ladies with actual legs (thick thighs do save lives but don't fit comfortably in a lot of sports shorts), they are super comfy and have the cycling shorts underneath. I also have long legs and these are a good length and don't ride up like others do. There's a ton of pockets for all sorts of bits and pieces including side pockets on both sides in the cycling shorts and a zip pocket at the back. I've just ordered a second pair and also the matching glasses and socks to Cheetahs Always Win. Great to have come across you, will definitely be ordering more, especially as delivery was super quick!

Feel-Good Shorts in Every Way
Absolutely love these shorts as they’re great quality and so fun to wear! I’ve been using them for spinning, and they’re super comfy and really light, which makes a big difference during a workout. They arrived really quickly, and I was so touched by the personal note that came with them explaining the story behind the design, it actually got me a bit emotional! I’ll definitely be ordering again, and I’m all for supporting a brand that gives back to charity.

My second pair of the classic shorts and I love them! I’ve already got compliments while wearing them. I love the pockets are on the inside and it doesn’t flap around while running. I went for a size S and I am a UK 10/12 and they fit well.

I have purchased 6 pairs of HappyStride shorts now and love the colourful designs and patterns, they are a lot different to most running kit. The side pockets are really useful and can comfortably run with a phone and keys in them. They are not the cheapest but the quality is great and I have had issues with zip failures on cheaper shorts.

I absolutely love my classic shorts. They arrived quickly, fantastic quality. I have tried various other shorts but these are by far the best. Also fantastic pockets. I loved them so much I immediately bought a second pair!

Absolutely Fabulous
fabulous product, so many lovely designs, superb customer service. My overall experience has been great. When I realised how great the shorts were the first time, I went straight back to order more!
The shorts are super comfortable, I bought the classics and just love the length.
If I were to be super critical, I would love them to have a couple of loops at the back to hold your T-shirt if it’s super hot…..appreciate that doesn’t happen often in the uk!!
Cannot fault this product….i love them
