Amazing shorts and customer service. Can't fault them.
Lovely leggings. I REALLY like the stretch, the feel, and , don’t gape behind the knee. Very nice they are super soft and fun. My favourite for the feeling and stretch… buttery soft
What i don’t love about their leggings? Not uv reflective (so rtlegated to just leisurewear only :o( - not everyone runs and im not convinced about being squat proof, also very long and gathers at the ankle and im 5.6 really long legs and a short body and ohhh the excess fabric. These have been made for a REALLY tall lady… so there is that. I do own 2 pairs now TBF but this brand is not my first choice. Specials are great (thank you) as full price feels a rad steep for me.
Consider uv reactive there are thousands of us out here that dance! I would be a return customer if they were uv and had some cute designs. I can live with the length

My new joyful shorts are amazing! These are the most comfortable running shorts I've owned, with zero chafing issues!

The Running Industry Awards and others well deserve. Great to see funcy, colouful outfits and see them get dirty at a muddy train run. Thank you, Pete..!

Love the quality and the pockets, I just got two lucky dip leggings. I know lucky dip is you get what you get but I tend to get a lucky dip as it's more affordable for me. All my lucky dip orders so far havent been very lucky style wise. Does feel a bit like they send out ones that may need moving or aren't the most popular.
Edit- spoke to them and they do just pick random designs, I have just been unlucky in my dips.

The clothing is fantastic—just what I’ve been looking for in running gear. The customer service is outstanding too. Every time I’ve reached out to Happystride, I’ve received a prompt, helpful, and thoughtful response that made me feel genuinely valued as a customer.

Fitness shorts, very generous sizing, xs was only just small enough. I am uk 8 to 10. I expected the inner short to ride up as felt a little loose, but they didn't. There are much smaller ladies than me that would probably appreciate xxs size. I'm 5"10 and the length is just what I was looking for. The reason for dropping as star is for quite pricey shorts, I was disappointed to see they are made in China

Really really comfortable shorts. The customer care is great. Super friendly, speedy and helpful.
Im dyslexic and they have been really patient sending me info for things and answering any questions.
And refund process for the only pair ive sent back was smooth and easy

Ordered another 2 pairs shorts today and asked if i could be cheeky and pick up in an hour, as usual their service was remarkable as always and I was able to do so. If you have not tried Happystride shorts I urge you to do so, I eventually bought some 2 years ago and i have never run in another brand since. I have not even worn the shorts i had before on a run since either!

Ok so I don’t do reviews but,, I’m a bigger size lady and find it difficult to get shorts to fit (big girls don’t run)! Now I have bought my third pair always get compliments on them, ran a half marathon last week, they did not move and 100% squat proof, I didn’t need my hydration vest as I could fit everything in my pockets happy stride is awesome

Absolutely love the shorts I received today from happy stride! They feel amazing on, so comfortable and they fit perfectly! I will be wearing them with pride at parkrun tomorrow morning. They are beautiful quality and I love how they have the inner shorts. I have not seen anything like these in the shops.
Another thing, I was easily able to phone Sam and Pete and there was no problem with me to change the size of the shorts over the phone.
I will definitely be buying more, and recommend them to my friends.

They were very helpful with responding to my question via Instagram. I ordered the classic shorts and they are so soft and comfortable! My upper thighs rub together when I run, but these shorts stayed fixed in place. Very impressed. I'll be ordering other designs for sure!

My go to shorts for all sports. I bought these for running but tried them as an alternative to my hockey skort & love them! I feel 100% more comfortable with no chaffing or riding up issues so I can focus on the game. Really enjoying the dual wear I get from running & hockey. Plus if I ever need to reach out to the team they’ve been fast & the loveliest when responding - Happiest with happy stride
