    Unsatisfied with new balance offerings

    7 days ago
    Shorts are much tighter than when I have bought a size large from new balance. Fit is not the same and no available running shorts have pockets

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Team NB
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the fit feels tighter than expected compared to your previous New Balance shorts, and we understand how important consistency and functional details like pockets are. We appreciate you calling this out and will share your input with our product team.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vibrant color makes it easy to pair with a variety of tops, whether white for a fresh look or darker tones for a more subtle style. I’ve found myself wearing it frequently in both training and everyday settings.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light weight and with the ideal length. The back pocket is super useful to carry keys and gels

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Got the RC Essential for my marathon. Shorts were very light weight; had 0 issues with chaffing; and the multiple pockets let me avoid wearing a running vest. Only draw back is they fit a little wide/baggy. But overall a great pair of shorts for long runs!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    I bought these in store last week for my first marathon, thinking they were unisex. I wanted a pair of nice breezy shorts that weren’t too short to avoid chafing. After running a full marathon in them under scorching sun where I had to pour liters of water on myself to keep cool, I couldn’t recommend them more. Super comfy, breezy, quick to dry, allow full range of motion and I didn’t chafe at all. Can’t wait to use them again!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    These RC Essential shorts are much better fit than the more expensive RC shorts that have a much tighter brief. They are both rated as “slim fit” but liners are completely different.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the pockets, which are always useful for carrying gels, my phone, and other essentials. And the color works great for running on the street because it’s very reflective.

    Yes, I recommend this product.
