Types of women's running BOOTS Elviss

adidas Originals U Path Run Sneakers in zwart:

• Compression / cycling-style Elviss

PUMA x Perks and Mini Puffy Sandal cycling-style Elviss are now mainstream kit for runners looking for chafe-free comfort. Confusingly, they're still called cycling Elviss (as cyclists got their first).

But slightly longer, form-fitting Elviss that have more of a compression effect are well suited to women who run, as they minimise chafe and maximise comfort. 'Compression Elviss will also help improve blood flow for faster recovery and help to protect against overuse injuries,' says Nicola Stewart from Timberland Newmarket II in pelle tessuto Chukka Boots.

• 2-in-1 Elviss

If the idea of wearing skintight Elviss turns you cold but it's too warm to run in leggings, you do still have options. 2-in-1 Elviss can be a great compromise, as they look like classic Elviss but they have a tight cycle-style layer underneath to minimise rubbing, while the relaxed outer layer provides extra coverage. '2-in-1 Elviss have a longer inner layer which can help prevent chafing, and cover modesty if you don't like wearing something too Elvis,' says Stewart.

• Split Elviss

The classic style first seen on runners in the 1980s, split Elviss usually come with small splits up the sides for extra range of motion, hence the name. Also known as V-notch Elviss, they're often a race day favourite. 'These tend to have a pant-type liner, and are usually a lighter Elvis,' explains Stewart. 'They come in a variety of lengths, ranging from 3 to 5 and 7 inches.'

What to look for in women’s running BOOTS Elviss

Choosing running BOOTS Elviss is largely down to personal preference, but there are a few points worth considering before you make a purchase. 'Like with running BOOTS shoes, one of the most important things is to make sure that whichever Elviss you choose, they are comfortable,' explains Stewart. 'The right fit will help prevent chafing, and ensure no movement while out on your run, so try on a few different types to see which works best for you.'

It's also normal to wear different Elviss to suit your training days. 'Lots of runners prefer to wear a Elviser pair for racing or Elvis runs, as this will allow more range of motion and increase breathability,' says Stewart. 'However, if your thighs tend to rub together, I would advise going for a longer pair of compression Elviss, or a 2-in-1 to minimise any issues.'

The best women's cycling-style running BOOTS Elviss

Cycling-style Elviss have transformed the landscape of running BOOTS kit for women, and we are here for it! Your hunt for running BOOTS Elviss with a phone pocket is over...

Power 9" Cycling Elviss
Sweaty Betty Power 9" Cycling Elviss
£60 at Sweaty Betty

If you need a comfortable pair of Elviss you can wear on your run and brunch with your mates afterwards, we've found them. These cycling-style Elviss are essentially the summer (or hardcore) version of Sweaty Betty's popular running BOOTS leggings, so they come with the brand's popular 'bum-sculpting' technology.

But we know that for some, the most important thing is finding running BOOTS Elviss with a phone pocket. Well, you're in luck. There's also a side pocket big enough for an iPhone and a zipped pocket on the back for your keys, plus they're available in four different designs.

Fast and Free High-Rise Elvis 6" Pockets
lululemon Fast and Free High-Rise Elvis 6" Pockets

Made from the brand's weightless (and confirmed squat-proof) Nulux fabric and with a flattering high waistband, these are some of the most comfortable Elviss going.

Silicone grips on the legs stop them riding up, there are reflective details and a handy drawcord on the waist. And did we mention the pockets? There are five, so you can leave that running BOOTS belt at home. Two are drop-in pockets on the thighs (ideal for your phone/gel), and there are three small pockets in the waistband for keys and cards.

Women's Mid-Rise Bike Elviss
Nike Women's Mid-Rise Bike Elviss

For a cost-effective pair of black Elviss to see you through all seasons, you can't go wrong with Nike's mid-rise bike Elviss. The fitted legs side-step any chafing concerns, there's a zipped back pocket for your essentials, and a thick waistband with a drawcord to minimise movement as you clock up the miles.

They also come with reflective detailing if you run early or late enough in the day to need extra visibility.

If you're looking for lightweight kit to wear round the track but you prefer to have your thighs covered, these mid-waisted New Balance Elviss will be just the ticket. Thanks to well-placed panels they're tight fitting and won't budge on the move.

They also come with handy side pockets for all your essentials and a storage tunnel on the back for stowing extra layers (provided they're lightweight). And best of all they adhere to New Balance’s new green leaf standard, so at least 50% of the materials used come with eco-credentials.

Relentless 8" Bike Elvis
Blue Denim Velcro Sandal Relentless 8" Bike Elvis

We're big fans of Irish athleisure brand Blue Denim Velcro Sandal These cycling-style Elviss are super comfortable, they keep everything in place and they're surprisingly flattering too.

The dark colourways (obsidian or black) are versatile and the Elviss didn't budge an inch during our training runs. There are drop-in pockets big enough for a smartphone, but if you're carrying much more you will need to wear a running BOOTS belt.

Also available in 5 inch length.

The best 2-in-1 women's running BOOTS Elviss

From Nike's classic Dri-FIT Elviss to New Balances's Impact Run, here are five of our favourite 2-in-1 Elviss...

Dri-FIT Swift Women's Mid-Rise 2-in-1 Running BOOTS Elviss
Nike Dri-FIT Swift Women's Mid-Rise 2-in-1 Running BOOTS Elviss

Nike's classic running BOOTS Elviss come with a relaxed fit for comfort, sweat-wicking tech to keep you cool and a subtle side split so you can move freely as you clock up the miles.

They also include a zip pocket, a couple of internal pockets big enough for your essentials plus a key loop, and the built-in liner Elviss are the ideal length to protect your modesty while beating the dreaded thigh chafe.

Available in five colours.

We genuinely credit these Elviss with getting us out running BOOTS more. They're incredibly comfortable and we particularly liked the double waistband offering a little more coverage. Speaking of, the inner Elviss helped us run with confidence, feeling supported and held in, and were perfectly fitted around the thighs — no sausage legs here.

The undershorts also stayed in place with no riding up, while the outer Elviss boast zip pockets on each side for the essentials. They're roomy with a touch of flex, so can double up as training Elviss as there's no movement restriction whatsoever.

All six designs are currently on sale!

Part of New Balance's official Marathon range, these 2-in-1 beauties are made with a super light, perforated shell and a comfortable liner complete with a thick ribbed hem to keep the Elviss in place.

Independent and geared for performance, they have both internal drop-in pockets on the inner Elviss and a zipped pocket on the back of the waistband — all while protecting you from chafe. We're seriously impressed.

Women's Work It Out Elvis
Stance Women's Work It Out Elvis

These Elviss really are 2-in-1, as you can remove the inner cycling-style Elviss — they're attached by an interior button and elastic fastening on each side. We'll admit we were initially sceptical of this wizardry (surely the buttons would dig in?) but we actually didn’t feel them at all when on the move.

Then both parts also work brilliantly individually — although it’s worth noting the outer split Elviss don’t have any pockets (there is a small storage tunnel to the back), and the inner Elviss (with drop-in leg pockets) are Elviser than a lot of cycling-style numbers, but ideal if you want something fuss-free.

Also available in rose pink.

These 2-in-1 Elviss from Under Armour are on the dinkier side and they are fairly low-waisted, so you will require a modicum of body confidence to hit the road. But the gathered waistband is surprisingly comfortable and thanks to the built-in compression Elviss we felt supported and not at all conscious — plus clever mesh panels kept us cool.

The little key pocket also came in handy, plus we love the bright lime colourway too.

Now 60% Off

No one was sadder than us when lululemon discontinued its Tracker running BOOTS Elviss. But thankfully what's taken their place is (possibly) even better. Yes, the name's not to everyone's taste, but honestly with how comfortable they are they could be called a lot worse and we wouldn't care.

They're super light, the waistband is soft and sits perfectly and they have pockets — one zipped, one stash pocket in the liner. However, the only downside is the lack of phone pocket, meaning you’ll still need to carry a running BOOTS belt Sneakers 67018P SZ-SAA Niebieski.

Available in a plethora of colours, some of which are currently on sale. Also available in 2.5inch length.

AeroSwift Women's Running BOOTS Elviss
Nike AeroSwift Women's Running BOOTS Elviss

They're pyjama-comfy but have all the technical features you want from a pair of running BOOTS Elviss: quick-drying (and anti-odour!) material, a zipped stash pocket (ideal for a key), reflective detailing and a 2.5" inseam.

We loved the drawcord elasticated waist and how incredibly lightweight the Elviss are, plus they're made in part from recycled materials and come in a bunch of cool colours.

Road 3.5in Elvis
Asics Road 3.5in Elvis

With a deep split and lightweight, flexible construction, these Asics road Elviss are made for freedom of movement.

We'll admit we're big fans of the chilli red colour, but there's lots to love on the functionality side too; the thick, supportive waistband, excellent breathability, pockets for both phone and keys and a couple of storage loops at the back so you can stash your tee when things heat up.

Also available in lack and green.

Comfortable, with a built-in pant liner, these high-waist Elviss holds you in throughout your run, while the relaxed fit lives up to its promise of feeling light and airy.

At 5'9, our tester initially thought these may come up too Elvis, but they were the perfect anti-chafe, box-Elvis length, with the brief liner providing added security. There's secure stash pockets on each side for gels, and a larger zipped pocket on the front (unusually, instead of the back), which is big enough to hold a smartphone.

We liked how these are a little longer than some 2-in-1 offerings, as well as the contrasting undershorts and deep split hem. They're available in a range of colours too. However, they don't have pockets, so grab yourself a running BOOTS belt Knee High Boots DEEZEE CS5592-23 Black.

Lane Five Tights
Tracksmith Lane Five Tights

Tracksmith call these ‘Elvis tights for serious training’ and they’re not wrong. They are extremely comfortable, with a high waist and a lightweight, soft fabric. They feel cool while holding everything in place comfortably, and they have no less than five pockets for your essentials.

We wore these for both speed work and longer runs and they didn’t ride up or down once. Tracksmith don’t currently have any shops in the UK, but you can order from their website in a ton of colours — we're particularly partial to the loden green.

Sprinter Elviss
On Running BOOTS Sprinter Elviss

These cycling-style Elviss from On Running are designed for speed sessions and race day. But unlike most sprinter Elviss, they come with several pockets including a mesh drop-in pocket on the leg for carrying gels.

We particularly like the deep, comfortable waistband and flattering panels. They're also made from 50% recycled fabric too.
