Reviews

Stays put and stays comfy!!

"Literally love these. Had tried an older version in the past that did not fit as well around the waist, where the extra pockets are, but this new version absolutely delivered! They stay put, have just the right amount of compression, and plenty of room for all my goodies on my long runs!"

I’ll never race in any other shorts

"I can’t wear any kind of belt or storage for fuel etc. I’ve tried them all. For some reason these pockets around my waist feel different than a belt and I can carry all I need without my waist feeling too loose or like it’s dragging down. And for vanity’s sake, I no longer look like a pack mule in race photos carrying everything in my side pockets"

Corey (5/5)

Overall solid trail running shorts

"I found the upper band to be a little uncomfortable, possibly the fabric or the design (a different material perhaps? To ensure stability for the potential added weight of carrying items in the pockets?). I've used the pockets to carry phone, keys, nutrition, and a water flask. The shorts have not ridden up or bunched up or rolled up on me (at least not yet). The pockets are incredibly handy, but man, definitely a bit humbling to have bulges all over the waist *while* running. . . So, yeah, there's some jiggling happening. The design is super cute and the quality is, as expected, top shelf. Overall, happy with my purchase, even if wearing all my running junk around my middle means I definitely won't be making eye contact with anyone else on the trails."

Jessica K. (4/5)

Perfect shorts for long distance!

"I got these shorts for the Paris Marathon. They have tons of pockets (two on each side, plus front and back) so I didn't need to race with a fanny pack for my gels. The fit was perfect--snug, but not constricting. They didn't move or shift during the entire race. And the fabric is really soft, no chafing anywhere. These are truly amazing shorts! Got myself a second pair as a treat when I got home!"

Maureen C. (5/5)

Favorite all around Shorts

"These shorts are meant for woman with bigger quads, no creeping up even on the long runs! The waistband storage is seamlessly integrated with no bounce (of course within reason with not packing too much) and again perfect for those long runs! I need all the colors!"

Miranda (5/5)

Solid + pockets a match made in heaven

"I have been trying to get a hold of a pair of smashems for awhile now and finally pulled the trigger. I was skeptical that they wouldn’t compare to my oiselle ones that have some super nice waistline pockets but I do love these. Slightly thicker material, fit well, and pocket access is just what I was hoping for with all the snacks and fuel. My only wish is that I would love a 3” inseam option. Excited to add these to my lineup this season for ultra racing."

Wendy K. (5/5)

Great fit

"Love my leggy smashers shorts. They’re super comfortable, stretchy and have endless pockets to store/carry my gels and phone on my long runs. About to order my next pair"

Laura (5/5)

marathon proof

"these are amazing! I didnt have to wear a vest because these shorts have so many pockets. the best part is the things dont bounce around either. i will be buying more. no chafing either, the material was nice and comfortable"

Good For Us Thick Thigh Girls

"As a thick thigh girly that’s got weightlifting legs, I’ve always struggled to find spandex shorts that wouldn’t ride up and force chaffing on runs. ChatGPT recommended these for reviews based on what I was looking for and I’m very grateful I purchased them! My only reservations is the strings are really unnecessary in my opinion and only form bulky little lines, trying to find a way to cut them out. I wish there were more colors to choose from as well. I am 5’4, 150lb and typically I do a M in bottoms but after reading some reviews on sizes, I purchased a S and I’m really glad I did!"

Vera F. (4/5)

Great long distance shorts for carrying lots of gels

"I love the pockets and lack of chafing with these, but I do wish the tie was on the outside instead of inside. It doesn’t cause issues, I just don’t love the look of it tied inside the shorts. I’d love a 5inch short with an outside tie on the front"
