Reviews

Amazing! Definitely worth the money

"This product is amazing. The sizing is great, a little bit small if anything. The fabric is very light weight and functional, much lighter than some other shorts I’ve used. I run 6 times a week in a hot and humid climate and have found these perfect for all kinds of runs, especially long runs and fast workouts. These shorts make running feel like I’m at ease. The split in the shorts isn’t too high like I have found with other shorts, it doesn’t ride up at all and the coverage is great. They are expensive, but they are exactly what I wish ed for so I will definitely purchase again- they are well worth the money!"

BEST SHORTS EVER

"I have a short torso so it’s hard finding a pair of running shorts that are comfortable, but these are amazing. Not only are they super cute, but they’re light and I love how they sit lower on my hips. I’ll definitely be getting more colours."

— Amanda D. (5/5)

Wish I found this sooner!!!

"Been looking for comfort but also good colors and comfortable was and this is everything I wanted! Got so many compliments at the Nike ADT race and every time I wear LsKD all the girls love it cause it’s made for the girls!"

— Brenda F. (5/5)

The best shorts 😍

"Absolutely LOVE these shorts! I wear them all the time. They’re so comfortable and flattering. My only criticism is that the material is quite light and thin, and unfortunately the stitching ripped when the shorts caught on the edge of my car. I’d love to see the same style made with slightly more durable material."

Accelerate 3" High-Rise Running Short - Open Air-Marshmallow.

"First time ordering from LSKD, I’m super impressed by the quality and sizing. Fits true to size. I feel comfortable and confident in these shorts. Super lightweight. Perfect for wearing everyday or whatever activity you’re doing. I would give 5 starts but some threads became loose after 1 wash unfortunately… but otherwise recommend these shorts and would likely purchase again."

Accelerate 3” High Rise

"Absolutely love these shorts! The fabric is incredibly soft, lightweight, and flowy, making them super comfortable to wear, especially during workouts. They do run a little smaller than expected, so I had to size up to get that relaxed, flowy fit I prefer. All the colors are so cute, it’s hard to pick just one. Definitely a new favorite!"

— Angela M. (5/5)

The best shorts you will ever wear.

"The best running short! I al a size 14-16 and wear these in an XXL. The cut of the short is both freeing and covering for a beautiful flow and performance. The fabric is light, no texture or rubbing making these one of the most comfortable pairs of shorts I own. I allllways get compliments too. I’m an hourglass shape with a mum tum so I prefer to size up one size to help with personal preference on aesthetics."

— Taryn A. (5/5)

Cutesy Run Outfit

"The fabric is great. The design is very convenient for an active lifestyle and a runner myself with a touch of girly style. Love the color!"

— Mary C. (5/5)

Super comfortable

"I absolutely love the fit of the Accelerate 3 Shorts, I have multiple colours in this style. I always thought I would much prefer the firm fit of the Fusion bike shorts but safe to say I absolutely love both. I love how flowy the Accelerate 3 shorts are, especially when running and the built in briefs make you feel secure when the shorts are flapping around in the wind."

— Emily D. (5/5)

Amazing but shreds at the bottom

"I love them! My big concern with them is that I have worn two different pairs twice, and they are like shredding at the bottom. I washed them without fabric softener on delicate/cold water and air dried them (I air dry most of my clothes) and it still did it, after only two wears. They are quite expensive too so that’s not great"
