The best running short length comes down to comfort, coverage, and how you like to move. Shorter inseams (around 3"–5") are lightweight and allow for a full range of motion, making them popular for speed work and racing. Mid-length options (around 5"–7") offer a balance of coverage and mobility, which works well for everyday training and longer runs.
You don’t necessarily need liners in running shorts, but many runners prefer them for added support and comfort. Built-in liners help reduce friction, provide light support, and can help prevent chafing by keeping everything in place.
The best running shorts are made from lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking materials like polyester, nylon, and performance blends that help keep you cool and dry during your run. Our Experts highlight more about the best fabrics for running clothing in our guide.
To help prevent chafing in running shorts, choose a pair with moisture-wicking fabrics, smooth seams, and a fit that stays in place while you move. Built-in liners or compression-style shorts can also reduce friction by providing added support and minimizing fabric shifting. For extra protection—especially on long runs or in hot weather—many runners use anti-chafe balms on common friction areas.
