I just tried the Zoot Knickers today (really wanted shorts, but only knickers in my size) on a 10-miler, as my hip has been getting tight a bit lately…
Two things…
1) I’m surely convinced you can’t make something in the hips to be “unisex”. The contours didn’t fit a woman’s body and there was a bit of extra crotch room for our lack of “frank and beans”. Kept feeling like they were shifting on me…
2) Compression around the knee just seems to hinder my movements and changes my stride. That’s not good, not good at all! Maybe this would be different with true shorts, but I still bet I wouldn’t run the same…
Maybe they will serve a purpose in recovery, but starting to worry I just paid $100 for a really expensive placebo…
