It's the first time I've brought from Happystrides. I love the rainbow shorts. The customer service is brilliant and the shorts feel amazing. I think I'm converted 😀

Ultra runner
As a keen runner and now an ultra runner, finding shorts that stay comfortable on both short and long runs has become an obsession. HappyStride shorts are now my absolute go-to.
They don’t budge, even on the longest runs. No chafing, no riding up, and they’re incredibly breathable in hot weather.
I also love the bright colours and fun patterns—it’s great to have running gear that performs brilliantly and looks fantastic too.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfortable, reliable running shorts.

I am now the proud owner of over 20 pairs of Happystride shorts, as well as vest tops/crop tops etc. It is now the only brand of shorts I will buy for running! Why? They have quirky and bright prints, handy pockets, plus they're so comfortable too. Never again will I wear inferior shorts in boring colours with nowhere to stash my phone, keys, handkerchief etc!
Oh and excellent customer service too. A great family-run company, by the sounds of it.

Meh...
I was really looking forward to my order from Happy Stride but unfortunately, it feel flat.
I ordered a tshirt and 2 pairs of socks. The tshirt had a bleach stain on it (albeit it was a tiny stain but still...) and the socks were enormous. I had send them back at my own expense (I think it was nearly 6 quid) even though, I ordered the correct foot size as advertised on their website, and the bleach stain on the tee was entirely their own doing. Really disappointed.
I won't be purchasing from them again.

They are soft and stretchy but not sure if I will be back
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

Love the quality shame lucky dip.isnt so lucky
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
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
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

Great Shorts and Great Service
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
