Soothfeel sells the kind of activewear that fills a weekend: a running short for the morning, a tennis skort for the afternoon court, a dress for a day walking a theme park, and for men, a golf pant that also gets worn on a flight. Prices sit in the middle of the Amazon range, between the cheapest generic two-in-one shorts and the brand-name athletic labels buyers keep comparing them to. Across the five pieces here there are 12,627 Amazon ratings, and almost all of that volume comes from two products.
The five are the brand's 3-inch 2-in-1 running shorts, its men's golf joggers with five pockets, a pleated tennis skort, a long-sleeve workout top with thumb holes, and a tennis dress with built-in shorts and bra. They share a habit you will notice on every listing: pockets in the places you want them, and sizing that buyers argue about.
That second point decides most of this roundup. When you buy a Soothfeel piece, your real risk is not the fabric or the stitching. It is whether your usual size is the right one. Two of these five carry a clear sizing warning in their own buyer data, and one says "Runs small" in its own bullet. We go through each piece with that in mind.
Soothfeel 2-in-1 running shorts
This is the brand's best-known product by a wide margin: 4.3 stars from 6,731 ratings, and 50+ bought in the past month. It is a two-layer running short. A loose outer short with split sides sits over an inner liner, which the listing's table calls "Compression Shorts" and buyers call "tights." The inseam is 3 inches, stated three ways in the detail table. The rise is high, and the waistband is described as "Wide and Soft elastic."
Pockets: two, not three
The title says "3 Pocket" and the detail table says "Number Of Pockets: 3," but the bullets describe only two: an elastic phone pocket on the right side of the liner and a zippered pocket at the back. Buyers count two as well. One writes "Love that there are 2 pockets." Another warns that "there's only one pocket on the right side," which suggests she missed the back zip. Soothfeel's own comparison chart, printed on its tennis skort listing, lists this short (the one with 6,731 ratings) as "2 Pockets (1 zipper pocket)." So plan on two.
The phone pocket is the feature buyers love most. "It fits my iPhone 11 Pro Max even in its case," writes one. A runner who is 5'0" says it held "my iPhone 13 Max." The pocket sits in the liner against your thigh, so a large phone does not swing the way it would in an outer pocket.



Fabric and wrinkles
The listing never states a fabric composition. The bullets say "Lightweight, stretchy, breathable fabric" that "wicks away sweat," and nothing more specific. That is an omission you should weigh, because it means you cannot compare blends with a rival short before you buy.
What buyers report about the fabric is mostly comfort, with one specific annoyance. Comfort has 373 mentions, 343 positive. The annoyance is wrinkling of the outer layer. "These are super cute and comfy but they WRINKLE so easily and stay that way," writes one buyer who no longer wears them. Another gives the workaround: "be sure to iron or take out of dryer right away, or air dry." One buyer adds that they are "not transparent at all."
Fit: short in the leg, split on size
This is where the short loses points. The fit topic is the largest on the listing, 859 mentions, and 260 of them are negative. The size topic is worse, 112 negative to 48 positive, and length is 82 negative to 39 positive. Those three numbers together tell you most buyers like how the short feels and many are unhappy with how it fits.
| Buyer | Size ordered | What they report |
|---|---|---|
| About 5'0" | Medium | "super comfortable and not too short" for tennis |
| 5'0", 116 lbs | Small | "fit perfectly" for running |
| 5'3", 130 lbs | Medium | "the mediums are the right size" |
| 5'5", 140 lbs | Medium | "fits perfect" |
| 5'7", 158 lbs | Not stated | "TRUE to size," tights "ride up" |
| Usually a size 12 | Large (labelled 12 to 14) | "Definitely size up" |
| Not stated | Not stated | "Runs small" and "Too small" |
The pattern is that small and medium buyers mostly hit their size, and the complaints come from people who wear larger sizes or have fuller thighs. One buyer says it directly: "They are pretty short to begin with so thigh chafing is expected. If you have thicker thighs, I would not recommend these." The liner riding up is the other recurring note. One buyer finds them "fine for walking in and hanging out, but when I run they ride up." A tennis player says "the shorts did not ride up badly." A 3-inch inseam on the liner is short, and a short liner has less fabric to grip the thigh.
The waistband has no drawstring. "No drawstring to tighten at the waist," notes one buyer, which matters if you are between sizes and hoping to cinch a larger one. It also explains the one complaint that sounds like the opposite of the size problem: "These are comfortable but run big. I ran with them and they just rode up my waist, kept having to pull them down." With no cord, a waistband that is a little loose has nothing to hold it but elastic, and a running stride works it down.
Who it suits
Put the numbers together and a clear buyer appears. You are a small or medium, you run or play tennis in warm weather, and you want your phone on your body rather than in a belt. For you, the liner pocket alone may justify the short, and the 343 positive comfort mentions suggest the fabric will not be the problem. A 3-inch inseam reads short on any frame, so you also need to like that length. Several buyers who do like it say so plainly: "These, although short, were surprisingly comfortable and stayed in place."
If you wear a 12 or above, or your thighs touch when you stand, the case is weaker. Buyers in that group are the ones writing "Definitely size up" and warning about chafing at this length. You can still make it work by ordering a size up, but at that point a longer-inseam short from another listing may serve you better.
On care, the listing gives no instructions at all. The buyer advice above about pulling the shorts from the dryer quickly, or air drying, is the only guidance on offer, and it is aimed at the wrinkling outer layer.
What buyers say
I am a runner and love these shorts. The built in short eliminates chafing. The pockets are a great bonus too.Amazon buyer

Soothfeel men's golf joggers with 5 pockets
The one men's piece here is a slim, tapered jogger built to pass for a golf trouser. It has 4.3 stars from 3,026 ratings and 100+ bought in the past month. The listing describes "elastic waistband and 1.7" belt loop design," plus a zipper fly and button, so it closes like a trouser rather than pulling on like sweatpants. The legs taper to an ankle-length hem with cuffs.
Pockets and closure
Five pockets: two front, two back and one zippered pocket for a phone or wallet. The bullets suggest the back pockets for "golf gloves or score card storage." The front pockets draw the most specific complaint on this listing. "I just REALLY wish the front pockets were bigger," writes a buyer who owns four pairs. Another says "pockets need to be deeper," and a golfer adds "Front pockets could be a bit longer, but having the separate phone pocket was nice." If you carry a large phone in your front pocket, use the zip pocket instead.



Fabric
Again, no composition is stated. The bullets say "4-way stretch, soft, breathable fabric" that "wicks moisture," and the detail table lists the item weight as 0.2 kg. Buyers love the feel: softness 87 positive of 90 mentions, stretchiness 69 of 74. "Light, but warm enough on a 50-degree golf day," writes one. A kitchen worker says they "feel great" after 12 hours.
The fabric criticisms are about thinness. "The material is so thin that you can see the lining of everything underneath them," writes one buyer, which most likely means the pocket bags show through the fabric. Another found "puckers in the stitching of the zipper and one pocket" after a cold wash. Fabric is the weakest topic after fit, 21 negative of 69.
Fit: slim on the label, both ways in practice
The bullets call the cut "Slim tapered" and the table says "Regular." The detail table gives an inseam of 29 inches and a waist of 36.5 inches, which are presumably for the sample size, since no size is named.
| Buyer | Size | Report |
|---|---|---|
| 5'8" | Medium | "a little long for my 5’8 frame" |
| 5'10", 31-inch waist, 162 lbs | Medium | "long," "not slim fit, but baggy" |
| 5'10", 210 lbs | Not stated | "Stretchy as advertised with the right fit" |
| Not stated | Not stated | "definitely run big" |
| Not stated | Not stated | "definitely cut too small" |
So the joggers run large for some and small for others, and the length runs long on men of average height. The length complaint has a second effect: one buyer says that "because of the length fit more like sweatpants at the ankle than golf joggers," since the extra fabric bunches at the cuff. If you are under 5'10", expect some stacking at the ankle.


On the course and off it
The listing pitches these as golf pants that also work in a "business-casual office," and buyers back up both halves. On the course, the selling points are the stretch, the phone zip pocket and a weight light enough that one buyer calls them right for "those that do want to wear shorts on the golf course." Off it, buyers wear them on a long flight to Oahu ("Far better than jeans, much nicer appearance"), in a 12-hour kitchen shift and with boots "with the hem tucked in." Versatility has 80 mentions, 73 positive.
What makes the crossover possible is the closure. A zip fly, a button and belt loops let you wear a belt, which is what keeps these looking like trousers rather than track pants once a shirt is tucked in. The 1.7-inch belt loops take an ordinary casual belt. A buyer who wanted a smarter look found it: "not like playing in sweat pants."
The limits are the thin fabric and the cuffed ankle. A cuffed hem reads casual, and on a formal office floor it will look like what it is. One buyer likes the cuffs for another reason, saying they "are nice in wet conditions." And if the fabric shows pocket outlines on you, that will matter more in an office than on a golf course.
What buyers say
I love the material too, soft and stretchy, but still looks nice and crisp - not like playing in sweat pants. Would recommend these to anyone.Amazon buyer

Soothfeel pleated tennis skort with pockets
The skort is the strongest product in the set on the numbers: 4.5 stars from 2,023 ratings, 76% of them five-star and only 6% one or two stars. It is a high-waisted mini skort with a wide flat waistband, pleats at the back and a mesh short liner underneath.
Fabric, stated in full
This is the one listing in the group that gives a complete composition, and it gives two. The body is "75% Nylon, 25% Elastane" and the lining is "87% Nylon, 13% Elastane." A quarter elastane is a high share. It means the skirt body stretches and recovers firmly, which is why buyers describe it as supportive rather than floaty. One buyer says it does "an incredible job at tummy control," and another calls the fabric "thick but also so soft." Softness and fabric are nearly all positive, 45 of 47 and 47 of 50.
There is one opacity complaint worth taking seriously: "This is so cute in every other way but totally see through! It looks better with flesh-colored underwear." That buyer does not name a color. Light colors are the usual culprit, so if you are buying white or a pastel, keep it in mind.
Pockets and the pleats
Three pockets: a drop-in phone pocket on the right, a ball pocket on the left, both on the liner, and a zippered pocket at the back. One buyer adds that the shorts have "silicone grips" to hold them in place, a detail the listing itself does not mention.
The pleats are only at the back. The bullets say "pleated panels at the back," and one buyer who missed that writes "I somehow missed that only the back is pleated; the front is flat." Look at the photos before you buy if you want an all-around pleated skirt.
On court, and away from it
The skort's pockets are laid out for tennis specifically. The ball pocket on the left of the liner means you can serve with a second ball against your thigh rather than tucked into the waistband, and the phone pocket on the right keeps the other side clear. The zip pocket at the back holds a car key during a match. That is three places for three things, which is more than many tennis skirts offer.
Buyers wear it well beyond the court. One is a dance instructor who says "it works perfectly for that and also hiking." Another walked in it all day and says the short "never rode up." The detail table lists golf, hiking, running, tennis, training and volleyball, and the buyer reports line up with most of that list. The 25% elastane is what lets one garment cover so much ground: it moves through a lunge or a squat without the skirt panel riding up, because the body stretches with you.
Care is listed as "Machine Wash" with no temperature or drying instruction. One buyer says it "washes well," and several have bought a second and third color, which is a quiet sign that the first one survived the laundry.


Fit and length
The table says "True to Size," and most buyers agree, often comparing it to brands they already wear. "I wear a size S in FILA brand skirts, and the S for this brand also fits me well," writes one. Two compare it to Lululemon, one calling it "better (and way less expensive) than my Lululemon tennis skirts."
| Buyer | Size | Report |
|---|---|---|
| 5'2", 130 lbs | Medium | "fits well" |
| 5'3", 120 lbs | Medium | "fits grear" |
| 5'4", 125 lbs | Small | "a bit short overall" |
| 5'4", about 129 lbs | Medium | "It fits great" |
| 5'6", 120 lbs | Small | "fits amazing" |
| 5'11" | Not stated | "not too short" |
| Usually a size 2/4 | Small | Liner shorts "tight" on thick thighs |
| Not stated | Medium, then Large | "a very small medium," re-ordered in large |
The minority view on sizing is real but split. The sizing topic is 30 negative to 24 positive, and the complaints point both ways: "runs big" from one buyer, "Runs small and low on the waist" from another. The liner is where fuller thighs notice it first. Length is 46 positive to 33 negative, and the table calls it a "Mini," so "Nice but very short" is a fair warning for tall buyers, even if one 5'11" buyer disagrees.

Soothfeel long-sleeve workout top
The cheapest piece in the group is a lightweight long-sleeve crew-neck top for running, hiking or tennis in the sun. It has 4.4 stars from 485 ratings and 100+ bought in the past month. The listing packs in four details: thumb holes, a high-low curved hem, side slits at the hem, and reflective dots on both sides of the back hem for visibility in low light.
UPF and fabric
The first bullet says the top "offers UPF 50+ sun protection." A UPF 50+ label means the fabric lets through less than one-fiftieth of UV, and only for the skin it covers. Here that is your torso, shoulders and arms, plus the backs of your hands with the thumb holes in use. Your neck and face are outside it. The listing does not say who tested the rating.
There is no fabric composition on this listing either. The detail table gives a weight of 4.64 ounces, which is very light for a long-sleeve top, and buyers agree. Lightweight is 42 positive of 43 mentions. The flip side is thinness, the one topic where complaints win, 12 to 6: "I could see through the shirt when I held it up," writes one. Another found that the fabric "shows any bra or bulge so I rodered a large." A third will "probably layer it under a vest." One excerpt describes it as "lined with fleece," which contradicts every other buyer and the listing's own weight, so we suspect that buyer was reviewing a different product.


Fit and length
The top is cut long and slightly shaped. "It’s cute and more shapely vs a boxy fit," writes a buyer, and another calls it "not a tight form fitting top." Length is the main fit note. A 6-foot buyer finds it "long - perfect for p.t." A 5-foot buyer finds it "way too long for a 5 ft. gal." The high-low hem drops at the back, which adds to the length on a short frame.
| Buyer | Size | Report |
|---|---|---|
| 5'0" | Not stated | "way too long" |
| 5'3", 123 lbs | Small | "The fit was good" |
| 5'4", 36B | Medium | "not tight and not too loose" |
| 5'10", 125 lbs, 34-inch bust | Small | "The size chart seems pretty accurate" |
| 6'0" | Large and XL | "nice and roomy" |
| Not stated | Not stated | "Runs a little big" |
Buyers report it washes well: "wash and dry well. No shrinkage," and another hand-washed hers on a trip and says "they cleaned right up." The listing itself gives no care instructions, so follow the sewn-in label.
Where it earns its price
The top's real competition is the plain long-sleeve tee you already own. What it adds is specific. The thumb holes keep the sleeves over your wrists and the backs of your hands, which is where a cotton tee leaves skin exposed on a long hike. The side slits and high-low hem keep the top from pulling across your stomach when you bend, and buyers notice: one says it "Hides my mommy belly too." The reflective dots on the back hem are a small safety detail for dawn and dusk runs, though the listing does not claim they replace a reflective vest.
The weight is the decider. At 4.64 ounces it is one of the lightest long-sleeve layers you can buy, and buyers who run in heat love that. "The other brands I've tried have been too heavy and hot. These are perfect," writes one. For the same reason, it is not a modesty layer on its own in a pale color. Buyers who wanted more coverage either sized up or layered it, and that is the right plan if you are choosing lavender or white.
What buyers say
Shirts are light weight! Cute in design, wash and dry well. No shrinkage. Went back and bought more color. Would recommend this shirt.Amazon buyer

Soothfeel tennis dress with built-in shorts and bra
The dress is the most ambitious piece and the most divisive. It has 4.1 stars from 362 ratings, and 10% of those are one-star, with another 5% two-star. That 15% low share is the highest in this roundup. The listing's own detail table rates "Fit to Size Sentiment" as "Negative," and its first bullet ends with a tip that the dress "Runs small" and that you should "choose one size up for the best fit."
What it is
A sleeveless A-line mini dress with a square neckline, adjustable straps, a built-in bra with removable cups and built-in shorts underneath. The outer skirt is a sheer, flowy layer, which the bullets say is "double-layered mesh" so it is "not see-through." Two "deep side pockets" hold a phone, keys or tennis balls. The bullets promise "light tummy control, without feeling like formal shapewear." No fabric composition is listed. The "Item Dimensions" field gives 5.91 x 4.72 x 1.97 inches, which is the folded package, not the dress.

Where buyers wear it
The surprise in this listing's buyer data is how many people bought it for theme parks rather than tennis. Buyers mention Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Epcot and "a day of water rides." One writes "The shorts are plenty long enough for tons of walking & sweating without chafing." Versatility has 21 mentions, all positive.
That use explains why the dress's buyers forgive things a tennis player might not. On a park day you want one garment that covers you, holds a phone and keys in "deep side pockets," keeps your thighs from rubbing over ten miles of walking and does not need a separate sports bra. The built-in shorts handle the chafing, and one buyer says "The under layer is very stretchy, it allows for a great range of motion." Another, writing as a mom "with an apron belly," says "it hides it very well," which is the light shaping the bullets promise.
The bra and the cups
The built-in bra has removable cups, which the listing says you can "take them out to wash or if you don’t like the extra coverage." The straps adjust. There is no stated band size range or support level, so treat this as a light shelf bra with padding, the kind you wear for walking and casual tennis rather than for running. A size 16 buyer warns it is "a little boobalicious" through the bust, which is another reason the size-up advice matters if you are fuller on top: the bodice is cut to the same size as the hips, and you cannot size the two separately.
Fit, and the 15%
Size mentions split down the middle, 22 positive and 21 negative. The advice in the excerpts goes in opposite directions: "size up" from a size 16 buyer, "Size down" from another. Most buyers who give measurements are happy with their choice.
| Buyer | Size | Report |
|---|---|---|
| 5'2", 115 lbs | Not stated | "a good price for what it is" |
| 5'2", about 125 lbs | Not stated | "Fit perfectly" |
| 5'4", 205 lbs | Large | "fits perfectly," considered XL |
| 5'5", 130 lbs | Small | "fits perfect" |
| 5'5", 160 lbs | Large | "fits perfectly" |
| 5'8", 230 lbs, "bottom heavy" | Not stated | Shorts "see through," dress "too short" |
| Size 16 | Not stated | "size up" through the bust |
The negatives are specific. Opacity is 11 positive to 7 negative. One buyer says the shorts are "see through." Another says it's "not see through and VERY stretchy," so color and size may matter. Other complaints: "horrible fit and cheap material," the skirt and top not matching in color, and that it "Feels very juvenile." Length draws "very short, but a little longer in the back."

How they compare
The competitor search was for women's 2-in-1 running shorts, so the table sets the Soothfeel short, the most-rated piece here, against its direct rivals.
Prices, ratings and monthly purchase counts as shown on Amazon search results on November 14, 2026. Highlighted rows are the products reviewed here.
On ratings count, the Soothfeel short (6,731) has more than any row in this table, including CADMUS at 3,481 and a generic 2-in-1 listing at 2,201. On stars it sits at 4.3, matching that generic listing and PINSPARK, behind Stelle at 4.6 from 1,817 and CRZ YOGA at 4.4 from 834. The generic short with 2,201 ratings also shows 1K+ bought in the past month against Soothfeel's 50+, which suggests that is the listing shoppers in that search are choosing right now. The Soothfeel short's argument against it is the liner phone pocket and the volume of buyer evidence, not the price.
Across the brand's own five, the pattern is clear. The skort has the best rating and the only full fabric statement. The top is the cheapest, with a good rating on a smaller base. The shorts and joggers have the largest buyer pools and the most sizing argument. The dress has the smallest buyer pool and the riskiest fit.
The fabric statements are the brand's weakest habit, and it is worth being plain about it. Three of the five listings, the shorts, the joggers and the top, never say what the fabric is made of, and the dress does not either. Only the skort gives its blend, and the Soothfeel swim skirt lists two different ones. When a listing names only feelings ("soft," "breathable," "cool"), you are relying entirely on buyer reports for what the fabric does. Here those reports are numerous and mostly kind, so the risk is small, but it means you cannot compare these pieces against a rival on paper. If fiber content matters to you, for allergies, for chlorine or for how a fabric holds up in a hot dryer, the skort is the only piece in this group you can judge before it arrives.
The pockets are the brand's best habit. Four of the five pieces have at least two, and three of them (the shorts, the joggers and the skort) put one in the liner or behind a zip, where a phone or key stays put while you move. The top is the exception, with no pocket mentioned at all. Pockets are a big part of why buyers come back for a second color.
For other shorts in this style, our BMJL 2.5-inch athletic shorts review covers a similar lined high-rise short, and the Halife quick-dry running shorts review another. For a skort and dress from a different brand, see our PERSIT tennis skort and dress review. Soothfeel's own cargo capris have their own review. Product pages on the brand's site: running shorts, golf joggers, tennis skort, long-sleeve top and tennis dress. More in activewear.
Sizing across the brand
Five listings is enough to see how Soothfeel cuts. The pieces with the most fabric against the body (the short liner, the skort liner, the dress shorts and bodice) are where buyers say it runs small, and fuller thighs are the most common pressure point. The looser pieces, the top and the joggers, draw the opposite complaint: long, roomy or baggy. If you have bought one Soothfeel piece and know your size, that size is a fair starting point for another fitted piece, and a size down may be worth considering for the looser ones.
| Piece | What the listing says about fit | What buyers lean toward |
|---|---|---|
| 2-in-1 running shorts | "Fit to Size Sentiment: Neutral" | Size up from 12; short in the leg |
| Golf joggers | "Slim tapered," table says "Regular" | Split; long for average height |
| Tennis skort | "True to Size" | Usual size; liner tight on full thighs |
| Long-sleeve top | No fit statement | True to size, long on short frames |
| Tennis dress | "Runs small," sentiment "Negative" | One size up, as the listing says |
None of the five listings states a return window or warranty, so if you are between sizes, check the return terms on the product page before you order two to compare.
Which one for whom
| You want... | Buy | Size note |
|---|---|---|
| One skirt for tennis, pickleball and errands | Tennis skort | Usual size; fuller thighs, consider one up |
| A long-sleeve layer for hot, sunny runs | Long-sleeve top | Usual size; under 5'3", expect it long |
| A running short that holds a big phone | 2-in-1 shorts | Size up if you wear 12 or above |
| A soft golf or travel pant for a man | Golf joggers | Check length; under 5'10", expect ankle stacking |
| One dress for a theme-park day | Tennis dress | One size up, as the listing advises |
Verdict
We recommend the tennis skort without much hesitation: it lists its fabric, it has three useful pockets and its buyers agree on its fit more than any other piece here. We recommend the long-sleeve top too, for warm-weather running and tennis, as long as you accept a very thin fabric. The running shorts and the golf joggers are good products with a sizing gamble, so read the size tables and plan on a possible exchange. We don't recommend the tennis dress if you dislike exchanges or want guaranteed opacity, though buyers who get the size right love it for long days on their feet.
Buy the skort and the top, size the rest with care
The pleated tennis skort and the long-sleeve top are easy recommendations. The running shorts and golf joggers have big, happy buyer bases with a real sizing split, and the tennis dress needs a size up and some tolerance for a 15% low-star share.
- Every piece has pockets that buyers actually use, including liner phone pockets
- The tennis skort lists its fabric in full and has the best rating of the five
- The long-sleeve top adds thumb holes, side slits and reflective dots at a low price
- The golf joggers win praise for softness and stretch in large numbers
- Running shorts: size mentions run 112 negative to 48 positive
- Three of the five listings never state a fabric composition
- Running shorts and top: titles and tables overstate pockets or omit fabric
- Tennis dress: 10% one-star ratings and a 'runs small' warning on its own listing
Best for: Women who play tennis or pickleball, run in warm weather or want pocketed activewear at mid-range prices, and men who want a soft, stretchy golf or travel pant.
Skip it if: You hate exchanging for a second size, want a long-inseam running short, or need opaque, heavyweight fabric.
