I've been searching high and low, far and wide, for track / gym shorts that I can wear at the gym for lifting, strength training, and running or that I can wear casually when running errands, etc. It's difficult to find a pair of running shorts that don't have the annoying double-flap material in the back and that are mid-rise and have the right length inseam (I'm 5'3" so I prefer 2"-2.5" inseams on shorts). I think I tried on maybe half a dozen brands on Amazon and I finally found a winner with these Aurefin Women's Quick Dry Workout Sports Active Running Track Shorts w/ Zip Pockets and 2.5" inseam. Finally! These sit right at my waist so they're the perfect mid-rise and they're 2.5" inseam so they're the perfect length. They have side zipper pockets - but please take note, these are more for decorative purposes because they're not deep at all, you can maybe fit a couple of keys in there at most. They're lined and they appear to be made of high quality material, like what you'd find with a more high-end brand like Nike or Adidas. And, thankfully, they don't have that annoying double-flap things in the back; they're just cute normal-looking shorts I can wear in or out of the gym. I'm 5'3" with a 24" waist and I purchased size XS, which was the perfect size. I liked these shorts so much that I purchased a few colors (Black, Royal Blue, and Olive Green). Bonus: They're very flattering! Highly recommend!
