10 Reviews: Best Leggings for Running (Apr 2024)

Constructed from patented E-Fretch fabric, this has 4-way stretchability and nice comfortability. Nice endurance under tight and vigorous workouts, also supported by a quick recovery system – the recovery rate is about 91% without deformation. In addition, the high-waisted style meant for nice control of the tummy.

Great fit and better for working out.

Especially design for the active lifestyle. The Lounge is made with a snug fit touch, mid-rise waistband, generous side pockets, as well as, featuring booty flattering back seam. The compression is perfect to keep it stay in place, so you can get the most exciting running training in a day.

Equipped with reflective details for visibility in low light, these leggings are perfect for use when you are excited about running at night, or in areas with minimal lighting – for example when the atmosphere is foggy in winter. In addition, for your running comfort, these leggings are crafted with stretch and temperature-regulating thermal fabric.

When the gyms closed again I needed some leggings for outside exericise. These are PERFECT. Kept my legs warm but without being too thick or uncomfortable. They've been a lifesaver for my outdoor workouts! #teamsweatybetty

7/8 length with a super soft fabric, does not cause rashes and at ease to use to support your hobby of running along the river. Lightweight and moisture-wicking, and no less fun – it is 99% squat proof, to make you feel more comfortable without looking sultry.

I love these leggings a lot and use them when I train. I like how they hug my body just right.

There are some leggings that are not allowed to be machine washed, luckily, you can machine wash Stabilyx sleeves from CW-X. For us, this is the best in supporting your sport. The compression is just right to support the legs, buttocks, and the high-waisted style can also support your back. And the most pleasant feature – it has UV light repelling technology.

I’ve been wearing Stabilyx for 10 years now – they are the only tights I wear for training and racing from 5ks all the way to marathons. As I have a herniated disc, they are the only running bottoms that actually provide the back support and leg support that I need. I love these tights and have about 4 or 5 pairs at any point in time as I wear them 95% of the time.

These are leggings made with a mix of 84% Nylon and 16% Elastane. And since its name has a winter element, these leggings are also equipped with thermal features. As for the reason why this is one of the top-notch leggings for running – it is high-impact leggings, made with a good amount of compression.

Very light, but also very strong to support your profile when running. The material is not too thick and not too thin, with nice coverage for trailing in the fall. As a safety measure, if you are exercising in foggy areas, leggings from Under Armour are sewn with reflective logos for low-light runs.

I love these pants. They are comfy. They look great. The tie up waist makes it easy to run in them. My only complaint is that I’m losing weight and they are starting not to fit as well!!! I’ll be buying a second pair for sure.

Supportive for running. These leggings are made from DriLayer HorsePower fabric which offers a snug fit, so they won’t roll or glide down. And what’s most interesting – there are two pockets, one of which is made sweat-proof.

My go to cold weather running and walking tight.

The tight fit is all you need for hassle-free running with leggings. Stitched and crafted with flat-knit construction techniques, hidden zip pockets, etc. – so you can keep your gym membership card safe. As a plus, you will be more comfortable doing the squatting with a wide elastic wide construction. Plus, we also need to underline another important feature – it has 36- degrees of reflectivity,

Love these leggings, the material is good quality and they're great for running.

Look fashionable and attractive with Free People leggings. This is one of the most gorgeous collections with high-waisted construction. The material is breathable, the waistband fits perfectly and won’t bend easily. Pst, this is a seamless design for comfortable use.

These leggings are absolutely amazing! They're just the right amount of snug/grip, while still having ample elasticity. The quality of the material is very rich, and I just felt really good working out in these; they supported my body really well. I will say, though, these leggings are more for running/walking workouts than yoga (mentioned in other reviews). The thick, high waist band, and the overall "spanx-like" fit in the abdomen/hip area would probably make for an uncomfortable downward-dog.
