What is the inseam length?

The inseam is 3 inches, a short cut aimed at running and warm-weather workouts.

Are the shorts true to size?

Most owners report they fit true to size. The elastic drawstring waistband lets you tighten the fit.

Our take on the Old Navy Women's Mid-Rise Stretchtech Run Shorts

Old Navy's StretchTech Run Shorts are pull-on athletic shorts with a mid-rise waist, a 3-inch inseam and built-in briefs. The elastic drawstring waistband and sweat-wicking StretchTech fabric are built for running and gym sessions, and a right zip pocket holds cards and keys. They sit at the value end of running shorts: they lack the laser-cut ventilation and reflective detailing of premium race shorts, but owners rate them highly for comfort and fit. Best for casual runners and gym-goers who want an affordable everyday short rather than a technical race piece.
