Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shorts! Last year I bought these shirts in navy and fatigue and I absolutely love them. They are super comfortable and the material is very soft. This year I bought the beige ones, and I missed buying the camo which I really wanted because my size (small) was sold out online. I called every store in Toronto, Oakville, Brampton and Mississauga looking for them to no avail. Please bring the camo next year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love these shorts I bought three pairs of these shorts last summer as I love them so much. Nice wide waist band, soft material and great length. I really hope they bring them back this year as I was not able to get the navy in my size last year and I really want to this year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Practical shorts, light and airy tencel blend I bought two pairs of the Essential Joggers in the last sale, the Navy and Wind Chime (cream) colours. I saw these Essential Shorts on the rack and checked them out - the material is the same, a tencel blend. It’s so light and airy, great for summer. Has some stretch too so an XS was fine for me at 125lbs. The shorts also have decent pockets and can be rolled up - I like them rolled down and a little longer though. I went with the British Khaki and Fatigue colours so I’ve got lots of variety. They wash up great and I’m looking forward to wearing them in really hot weather down south where my cotton shorts felt too heavy. They are light like my running shorts but look much dressier. Great wardrobe addition.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great shorts! Love they do stretch out a bit. Should’ve went a size down. Very comfy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome shorts This is my second pairs. They are so comfortable. The size might be tricky because some small are too big. It may be better to try on at the store, but unfortunately you can’t return them for the final sale. I wish that the store carry more sizes and colour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfy perfect short! Finally! Perfect short. Love the fabric and the pockets. Great to be able to roll them up or down too. I sized down so they are more fitted. I’m 5’5” and about 155lbs and normally take a medium in roots. This is a small. They are stretchy so comfy with the give.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Breezy Summer Shorts Love these summer shorts. I got them in Wind Chime and Fatigue colours. Easy to pull on over my hips but can cinch tighter around waist with legs loose and comfortable for hot & humid weather.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shorts, but they run big Great shorts! Sizing runs a bit big —plus the stretch factor —so I recommend going a size down. I’m usually a small in Roots sweats, but the small shorts were huge. I went back & got the XS.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best shorts I’ve owned!! These shorts completely exceeded my expectations. I don’t think I’ve ever worn a more comfortable pair of shorts! They’re lightweight and look great too. As someone who lives in the American desert southwest, I own a lot of shorts and these are easily the best ones I’ve come across.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These are my new favourite! I love the fit of these! They are so comfortable and the ability to change the length is great. They wash and dry well and stay super soft!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Most comfortable shorts ever! After buying the one pair of these very nice looking, very comfortable shorts, I've ordered another in another colour. Thank you Roots!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great feel I bought it a couple of weeks ago. It feels so soft and doesn't have any wrinkles after machine washing. It is highly recommended.
