Recommendations please 😁

[Lisha89]

Hi all me again! Do any of you lovely ladies have any recommendations for leggings?! I have tried a few Nike pairs and they just slide down I concentrate too much on keeping them up whilst running or worrying that they are too see through in the light 😒 also, trainers. I haven't had time for gait analysis but found online about a wet footprint test and my footprint showed 'support' so any recommendations for either would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all !

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Braces.

[Lisha89 in reply to IannodaTruffe]

😆 definitely crossed my mind!

[TailChaser Graduate]

I got the cheapest but most elasticated leggings that I could find in Sports Direct. They keep everything in and haven’t travelled southwards once yet 😁 They’re LA Gear and just a flecks grey. Done me proud so far.

[Lisha89 in reply to TailChaser]

I was worried about going for cheaper ones but seeing as the more expensive ones are absolutely rubbish I will give it a go thanks tailchaser!

[Uphill-downhill Graduate]

Just make sure they're high waisted and have a draw string. Gait analysis recommended. Enjoy

[msanni]

My leggings are from Sainsbury's! They are high-waisted enough not to descend and are if a wicking material so they're comfy. Mainly black with some turquoise.

[Lisha89 in reply to msanni]

Lovely thanks msanni I was looking at sainsbury ones the other day but wasn't sure if they would do the job, will give them a go!

[msanni in reply to Lisha89]

I wanted leggings quickly and I didn't want to put money into the pocket of a sports shop mogul with poor employee practices and Sainsbury's is close. 😊

[CabanaAnna in reply to msanni]

Mine too! The high waist and broad waist band have meant no falling down for me yet! Highly recommended.

[staceycorinne in reply to msanni]

I jut bought a pair of leggings from Sainsbury’s too! They are thick but light weight and stay up! Very comfortable.

[HGVDan Graduate]

Karimor more ones are good just 1 rear pocket but they stay up even with an iPhone in the pocket

[Sarah_ward]

They’re more expensive than some, but I swear by ‘sturdy by design’. Very comfortable, great designs, zip pocket, and last for ages.

[IgaT Graduate]

I don't remember where I bought my favourites. I guess Amazon, maybe eBay. I have only short leggings - knee hight from Ultrasport with drawstring, antislip hem line on ends, and key pocket as a bonus.

[ellsbells71 Graduate]

I love new balance gear being a larger lady I try to go for a higher lycra content as it stops everything jiggling about. As for trainers I have sacony for overpronation both are a tad on the expensive side so I linger about for the sales. X

[DoodleDee Graduate]

I got mine from Tesco (£12). They’re so comfy that I bought another identical pair(Black with pink stripe down side & purple in front) They’re high waisted and stay put perfectly.😀

[Lc_85 in reply to DoodleDee]

Agree here. Tried bike etc. But Tesco win for me.

[Lovedayruns]

M&S leggings are great - mine have a drawstring and stay up. If you look on the M&S website you can read reviews before you choose to make sure you pick a good pair. I had the same problem as you with Adidas leggings, it was infuriating pulling them up all the time!

[mcgurranhouse Graduate]

My favourite ones are mostly Decathlons Kalenji ones. Most have a tie at the waste for extra security. Love them.

[mfamilias Graduate in reply to mcgurranhouse]

Agreed. I've got Decathlon ones too.

[Ellebear]

I have some from primark that I love. Have a pocket and stay up well. Cheap too. Figured i didn’t want to spend daft money on something that hopefully won’t fit for long. They have various designs.

[EmmaRunning Graduate]

Decathlon kalenji Work for me. And they do great sales. I paid under £25 for 2 pairs 🙂

[JoanneBrowne Graduate]

I like getting the Aldi ones when they have a special buy. High waist, drawstring and a small rear pocket. And definitely not see through!

[50mumof4]

Tescos!!

[MrsStovey]

The best leggings I have found are sturdybydesign.com/

These also have a drawstring in the waist so work really well 😍

[Dannoodles]

hi I got mine from Sainsburys. good high waist and comfy and nice and cheap 🤗

[Jell6 Graduate]

I got mine in m and s sale. They certainly grip it all in!!. Broad waist band, and an inner drawstring, but they are snug enough, so I have never need to use that.

[SuperMouse Graduate]

I always just get from Sainsburys, they are very good quality, are a good fit and look nice (always important for us girls) plus there is often a sale on. I have tried 'brands' and to be honest are happier with this supermarket brand.

[Margoblue Graduate]

Try TK max as well? They normally have a rail with leggings on it all different styles and shapes. I have 2 pairs from there and both hold everything in and don’t fall down...

[Exmoorllent Graduate in reply to Margoblue]

I have two pairs of Slazenger leggings which I found in TK Maxx and I absolutely love them. Don’t seem to appear on Slazenger website tho so a bit stuck for what to do when these go!

[Doris-1950 Graduate]

I too use Sainsbury’s for leggings .... also T shirt and jacket . They stay up and wash well ... great price too

[Matilda1216]

Lululemon leggings are great & don’t fall down!

[Jb33 Graduate]

I’m scared to wear leggings as I’ve chunky thighs & they’d probably look ridiculous 😟

[Lisha89 in reply to Jb33]

Jb33 iv got big thighs, bum and calves but I don't care , u go for it !!!

[Jb33 Graduate in reply to Lisha89]

I’ll have a look & maybe give it a go 😬

[mcgurranhouse Graduate in reply to Jb33]

Go for it.

[Fishypieface Graduate in reply to Jb33]

I was like that in the beginning, as I have the thighs like that of an ex-olympic shot-putter who has gone to seed (badly!) I started out in a cheapo pair of shell like capris but had to ditch them for leggings as I was seriously at risk of death by fire from all the friction! A decent pair of lycra leggings does hold it all in much better than you might expect. By a sale/outlet pair and give it a go

[Jb33 Graduate in reply to Fishypieface]

I’ll give it a go 😬

[Lisha89]

It looks like Sainsbury's is the place to go ! Thanks all for your help!! Fingers crossed this is where the bum flashing will end 😄

[Queeny1969 Graduate]

Hi

I get leggings from Sainsbury’s and Next. Both a good quality and not see through x

[bigricky1969]

I'm not a lady but I have found the higherstate running clothes are very good and close to half the price of banded gear

[Ajay99 Graduate]

Eat more chocolate

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Make sure you're buying the right size. We tend to buy tight fitting clothing in a bigger size as we don't want to look like misshapen sausages. My leggings were slipping down because they were a L when they should have been a M.

Please go to a running shop for shoes. If you need supportive shoes you need the right support. I run in Brooks vapor 4 shoes but also own Asics gel exalt for casual. Both excellent support shoes and both very different fit. I couldn't run comfortably in the Asics. Even if you just go for advice and to try some. There are great deals online but you need the right size (bigger than your street shoes) and the right kind of support 👍😁

[WildflowerJo]

I recommend Bam leggings and all their clothing! They are made from bamboo so are environmentally friendly. They cost a bit more but that’s probably because they pay the people who make them a decent wage. I like to know my clothes aren’t made by poverty stricken children!

[Amandana]

Gait analysis doesn't take long and is well worth it to get a good pair of shoes that are right for you

[HelsN68]

I really like the Next own brand leggings, they fit well, good price, wash well. 😀
