The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab has evaluated all of the best products you need for a great run - from running shoes to workout leggings to running socks. This summer, work out in one of our comfortable running short picks that don't ride up and stay in place without irritation or rubbing. But running in a bad pair of shorts might just have the opposite effect, causing uncomfortable chafing, slowing you down or leading you to overheat. Running can help you to feel strong and free, and it's a great way to relieve stress.
We also added new products from brands like Girlfriend Collective, Lululemon and Gym Shark. We updated this article in August 2022 to ensure our top picks, extensively vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab, were in stock, accurately priced and available for purchase.
