Please restock all sizes

I’ve run two marathons in these bike shorts and have been waiting months for them to be restocked in my size. They’re the perfect weight, don’t ride up, and have a bunch of pockets for gels.

Please restock!

These are the only running/biking shorts I’ve found that don’t dig into my thighs and don’t constantly ride up! I’m usually between an 8-10 in shorts - went with size 8 and they’re a big snug in the waistband but they fit my thighs well. I’d love to see a version without the front seam. Impatiently waiting for the restock as I need more

Best running shorts

Absolute best long distance running shorts. The 8” doesn’t ride up, comfortable waist band and pockets are great for gels. Please restock!

It sounds like the Fast and Free High-Rise Short 8" has gone the distance and then some. We've noted your request for a restock.

5 pocket Fast & Free ..8”

These are my all time favorite shorts for workouts. I love that they don’t have a hem but stay in place because of the one inch band that keeps them in place. I have the black in 8” length and the red in 7” length. I’m waiting for the navy to come back in stock. Love!

Waiting for a restock is the truest form of love. We're thrilled these shorts have earned "all-time favorite" status, and it sounds like that no-hem design and stay-put waistband are checking all the right boxes. Here's hoping True Navy makes its comeback soon.
