Had my eye on a pair of the split shorts for a while, so asked my sis to get me a pair for my birthday. She got me a L size and they were just a bit too snug for me, so got in touch with the team at Parkesrunning on the web chat and explained that I'd like to change them for a XL size (with the story about sis and birthday).

With no quibbles, they sent me a new pair immediately and I got the confirmation they were on the way, even before i could get to the post office to return the L size pair.

Original plan was to keep them for race day, but been out in them on a few runs already and I will probably have to get another pair for race day, as I'm loving these so much.

I love these running plans! They are so helpful. Great ideas and planning. Great mix of workouts.
Helps keep the motivation going and sets goals that keep you getting stronger. All that experience Ben has is inspirational and I’m hooked. Well done Ben keep up the great work 👏🏼👊🏼

Great fit with amazing pockets

I bought these socks for my wife as they looked good on the website and the turquoise / green colour is her favourite colour. The quality appears to be very good and hopefully they'll wear well in terms of longevity. Having worn them she says they're very comfortable so I'm a couple of brownie points to the good.

I bought these for my partner who absolutely loves them he says the quality and feel of the liner is brilliant and loves the length of the shorts
He's also a big fan of all the pocket storage 5 stars

Just love these socks. Nice material, good fit, wash well.

A great cushioned sock. That fits. Amazing colour combos. Used in a half marathon with no issues.

These have been a game changers for me. So soft and confortable and super stylish too. Helped me get my first PB of 2026.

These things are super comfy for running. I've got two-in-ones from Gymshark and Karimor but these are just next level. Feel great quality, nice to wear and really flexible.

Great running socks for comfort and fit. They perform really well, especially on long runs from start to finish. Highly recommended

Top quality as usual, no blisters, rubbing or hotspots

I was able to over achieve my half marathon goal and looking forward to do the same with the marathon :)

Best running socks by a country mile...

Easy to follow and gives you several options for pace. Well structured and easy to follow.

I’ve seen a lot of 2-in-1 shorts advertised but bought these as I trust Ben Parkes for good quality from previous purchases. I found it great to have a pair with so many pockets and will be great for carrying lots of gels on a long run. I found my phone jiggled a little bit in the phone pocket however it was still secure and I don’t usually run with my phone so not a huge issue. Overall great pair of shorts!
