Comfortable and practical
The Brooks Men's Core Journey 7" Running Shorts have been a great addition to my runs. They are lightweight and comfortable, and I barely notice them while I’m moving. The waistband sits comfortably without shifting, and I don’t have to mess with it once I start. The built-in liner is supportive and keeps me cool, even on longer runs. I have to say, the pockets are great. It’s so convenient to have space for the essentials without feeling weighed down or distracted. These shorts are comfortable, practical, and designed with runners in mind. I’ve really enjoyed wearing them and will definitely keep reaching for them on my runs.

Not my favorite fit but comfortable
My husband says “these shorts are super comfortable. I really like the material a lot. Where it falls short is the fit. They just feel too loose around the thigh and not the more fitted feel I go to for working out. I’ll still use them but wish they just fit a little better. For reference I am 5’ 9” and 167 lbs.” I personally like the feel but do agree with him that the width around the thighs is a bit too big.

These make me feel like a professional runner!
The Brooks Men’s Journey 7" Running Shorts are a game-changer for any runner seeking the perfect blend of comfort, flexibility, and functionality. From the moment I put them on, I was impressed by how lightweight and supportive they feel. The internal lining provides just the right amount of support without being restrictive, offering a sensation of almost “nothing at all” while running—making every stride feel effortless. The flexibility of the fabric is excellent, allowing for full range of motion without any discomfort or chafing, even during longer runs.
What truly stands out is the thoughtful design, with several pockets placed both front and back. These pockets are incredibly convenient for storing essentials like gels, keys, or a phone, ensuring that you can keep your hands free and still have easy access to your items. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in the overall experience.
As for sizing, these shorts fit as expected, offering a true-to-size fit that’s neither too tight nor too loose. The waist is secure without feeling constrictive, and the overall cut provides a flattering yet comfortable fit. After several washes, they retain their shape and color, making them easy to care for and durable.
Overall, the Brooks Men’s Journey 7" Running Shorts combine top-notch comfort, flexibility, and practicality, making them a must-have for runners who value both performance and convenience.

Solid shorts
The Brooks Journey running shorts are exceptionally comfortable, with a fit that feels secure yet flexible. The design is sleek and modern, with a well-placed zippered back pocket that was large enough to fit my phone. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying so these performed when when I used them for intermediate length runs as well as casual workouts. I found the internal lining comfortable and also appreciate the wide, soft waistband which stays in place without digging in or causing discomfort.

Super Comfortable Shorts for Exercise or Running Around
These are awesome running shorts that are super comfortable and well-designed for running, cross-training, and also taking care of things around the house.
The liner is supportive but not too tight and very comfortable for running movements. I also love the multiple side pockets for keys or other accessories that hold items in place but allow for quick access.
The back zipper pocket is just big enough for my Pixel with a case and ensures it doesn't jostle or fall out when running. The shorts are also secure enough to not fall down even with a heavier phone in the zipper pocket.
The shorts are stylish, breathable, and the materials all have held up well after a few uses and washes. The fabric feels like higher quality compared to my other running shorts I have in rotation.
Overall, these shorts have been awesome for my exercise routine and hectic life.

Comfortable and really well made shorts
Sure! Here’s the updated review with the changes:
The shorts run slightly big, but the strong inner drawstring keeps them snug on my waist. The interior liner is super comfortable and supportive without feeling too tight, even when I wear boxers instead of boxer briefs. I barely notice them while running, which shows how well-made they are. The elastic waistband is snug but not restrictive, and it stays in place even if I forget to tie the string. The 7" length is just right—not too short—and the design holds up well after washing and drying.
The fabric is perfect for anyone who sweats a lot. It wicks moisture away really well, so I don’t get that uncomfortable damp feeling. I love how comfortable they are, even when I’m just wearing boxers. They’re versatile enough to wear for running short and medium distances and then run errands afterward without feeling out of place.
The pockets are great, especially the back pocket, which easily fits my large phone. It’s a nice bonus that I can carry my phone comfortably without needing an armband.

Journey 7” Running Shorts Review
The Men’s Journey 7” short is a great pair of shorts for running. They have cell phone pouches on each side, both at the hip and rear hip. There is also a nice secure zip pocket on the rear that can hold a standard phone, but not a plus size phone. Running with a phone in the rear zip pocket felt a little loose, but the other positions were great. I did not feel much phone movement in the hip pouches, nor did I feel like my phone would fall out at any time. The rear zipped pocket might be better for keys or a credit card.
The shorts were a good size for running with adequate length and good moisture wicking material. They have internal underwear, but they could be worn over boxer briefs and still feel fine. They generally were still dry after a run other than the waist band.
The shorts were great from a design for technology while running perspective. They are well designed running shorts, but would not be great shorts for casual wear since there are no front pockets. They also are a little short for casual wear.
I really liked that the shorts had a good dry fit material to keep you dry and cool during a run. The multiple phone pouches were also a great addition. I question how long the pouch elastic will last, but that will take time to evaluate.
The only complaint I would have is that the shorts material was wrinkly. Out of the box they were wrinkly, and that hasn’t gone away yet after several runs. I’ll have to wash them to see if that smoothes them out. I suspect it will based upon other similar materials I’ve had in clothing. All in all these are great shorts and I’m glad to have a pair of them to run in.

Brooks Mens Journey 7" Short
The Brooks Mens Journey 7" Short are a great, lightweight, and comfortable short but I felt that they ran a little large. I typically wear a Large and the Large Mens Journey 7" Short was looser around the waist than other L shorts. There is a drawstring which does help but feel a size down is needed.
They're lightweight and breathable and dry quickly which is great for longer training runs.

Great 7” Running Shorts
The Men’s Journey 7” Short is a really comfortable pair of lightweight running shorts. These fit true to size being a 5’10” 180 lbs male who regularly wears large. I didn’t have to use the drawstrings, but they are available if needed.
I personally really do prefer 7” inseam length shorts for the my comfort, and the length on these are perfect!
From what I can tell so far with these shorts, the liner material used does well in moisture wicking to help keep dry during sweating!
Last, a note on luxury! So many pockets and opportunities for storage in these shorts! I’m counting multiple stash pockets, a zippered back pocket, and even a pocket for your key to keep with you while running!
Quality product and I would recommend to all runners!
