Bought a few $10 pairs of gym shorts from a big box store, probably an 8" inseam. I wear boxer brief style compression undies when I run, so netting and how they feel on my skin isn’t really an issue. They have side pockets that are fine for carrying my key fob, which is the only thing I really need for most runs. On runs they seem completely adequate. What am I missing by not wearing more expensive or nicer shorts purpose made for running? Is it one of those things where if I try something nicer I won’t be able to go back?

That’s what I’m thinking. Although I’m fancy about my socks. I’ve switched to Injinji toe socks and don’t ever want to go back, including their hiking ones.
