Quality Southpole Boys' Big Basic Basketball Mesh Shorts for Optimal Performance Review

They appear to be well made, but they don't have a drawstring so you can't tie them around your waist. I bought these for my son who is average height for his age and they covered the top of his socks they were so long.

They are enough to wear at home. They just make me look a little small in shorts. They think I'm showing my legs. Good quality for the price.

No drawstring - doesn't drag and runs small. My son rolls them up :- / Cheap and good for around the house - if I went down a size they might be good for running outside, but judging by his actual size they are too loose to run inside without to slide down.

Save money for something better. Waste seams smooth out after 2 washes. The material is very thin and transparent. Garbage and waste of my money.

These shorts do not correspond to the table. I bought the size according to the chart and they were huge. Very inaccurate chart.

I bought them for my son's soccer practice and games. He needed solid, all-black, knee-length or longer shorts with no pockets. They are perfect for that. He likes how they fit and how long they are. I will definitely buy them again. My son has a size 12 jeans and I ordered a size 10-12 shorts.

They did NOT look like the black and red ones - misstitched, transparent and smaller than the others we bought. All the colors are different, and even the same colors on the second purchase are different from the first purchases. Very sad because when you can get good ones, they're good shorts.

I bought 3 pairs because the info said there was a drawstring waist but there wasn't (see photo). Also, I ordered the same size my son wears from several different brands and they were huge for him. Gave them back the next day. Those issues aside, the shorts felt well tailored.

My son loves these shorts. The only problem was the seam. I had to sew up the tear in the seam after just one wear. I think it has to do with the mesh but a bit more quality control would have helped. In their defense I also bought the same shorts in 2 different colors and had no problems. You might think twice before buying them if you're not good with a needle and thread for sewing minor repairs.

I love the shorts and my grandson does too but unfortunately this brand is not made like Nike or Under Armour, they run large. He usually wears a large 12/14, but they were a bit large at the waist and 3.4 inches below the knee. I recommend 1 size smaller than what your child normally wears. Updated 09/28/19. I kept the shorts for myself and ordered a size smaller for my grandson (medium 10/12). They fit perfectly.

Initially the size on the website was the outer size on the label (L 14-16) but the inner label sewn on the back said 'L 12-14 " . Obviously a big difference. Second, the crotch is very oddly low, so the fit is very odd. When my son wears shorts just below his stomach, like he usually does, the crotch is so low that it's actually difficult to move and walk normally in them. When you lift the shorts to fix the crotch issue, they are no longer above the knee, but rather above the knee, with…
