Review on New Balance Accelerate Short Medium by Steve Lawrence

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No elastic? for men

These are the worst running shorts I have had in my 40 years of running, although this particular brand used to be one of the best. I returned my first order because I would have run in my ankle shorts if I hadn't held them with my hand for the first run. I assumed I ordered a size too big, but I also noticed that there was no "click" where the elastic should have been. I ordered a replacement one size smaller than my previous order and again the shorts didn't hold up even though I pulled the drawstrings as tight as I could. No elasticity! The decision to remove the elastic from the shorts ruined what was once one of my favorite running shorts. It's a shame and a bit of a waste of money.

Pros
  • Brilliantly finished
Cons
  • No uniform required
