Womens running shorts

You’ll zoom past the competition when you’re equipped with the right pair of womens running shorts. This adidas collection includes styles and designs to suit all preferences and running distances, starting with a variety of lengths ranging from extra-short to knee-length. Both slim fit and compression fit ladies running shorts are available, with the first offering a modern look and freedom of movement, while the latter uses fabric with Alphaskin technology which takes the shape of your body, locks it in and supports every movement you make. For extra comfort and full coverage, you can choose a high waist womens running shorts model or one offering a high-rise back.

It’s all in the fabric

The fabric used in the creation of womens running shorts makes all the difference, and adidas uses a variety of technologies in its designs to reward you with the utmost support and comfort as you train. The fresh feeling doesn’t have to fade away as you advance with your run, as Polygiene technology gives your shorts anti-odour properties, while Climacool enables ventilation and keeps you dry and cool all the way through. Fabric such as Climalite is lightweight and breathable, and will wick away both sweat and heat from your body to keep that feeling of comfort.

You’ll especially love the details

When choosing your pair of womens running shorts, you should take a few factors into consideration. The technology and fit of your shorts aim at providing support and comfort, but it’s in the details of the design that you’ll find useful and practical features. Running shorts with pockets will enable you to take a few essentials with you on your run, while an elastic drawcord around the waist gives you a more secure fit. And if you plan to go running when it’s dark, a pair of adidas ladies running shorts with reflective details or even 360-degree reflectivity will keep you visible and safe.

Running Shorts for Women Frequently Asked Questions

Why do women’s running shorts have a liner?

Running shorts for women have liners for support and coverage. A liner also means you don’t have to wear underwear — underwear can chafe skin or be uncomfortable, but liners are designed to be lightweight and breathable while avoiding chafing.

Do running shorts matter for women?

Running shorts make a difference, especially if you’re planning to run regularly. Wearing running shorts matters because they’re made of lightweight materials designed to handle sweat, often with moisture-wicking technologies like adidas AEROREADY fabric.

Is there a difference between men's and women's running shorts?

Women's shorts tend to be shorter and many times pocketless nowadays. Men's shorts usually are either right above the knees or a bit past the knees. Women's running shorts will usually be more skin-tight or fitted.
