These are pretty standard running shorts. If you are like me and have larger thighs then these are going to ride up you legs. These are listed as men's but women can wear them as well. I found that wearing compression shorts (with a bit longer legs) under these is the best fit for me for long distance running. I like the color and overall fit. The shorts have zero to do with my body shape. I washed/dried with no special care and haven't noticed any shrinking or damages to seems.
