Why the lack of cute plus sized clothing?

Wow, thanks spazz!! Much appreciated!

Huh, I guess I should be wearing men's shoes, because I have a wide foot that is very "thick"--high instep and high arch. I can't even get my foot into a Keen sandal or through the ankle of a boot that doesn't have a zipper.

Thanks for the info, Susan!

I too get the yells, but mostly just ignore them. I purchased a pair of cycling shorts from Aerotech and found them to actually run large. They are comfortable and shaped for a woman with curves which isn't ideal for me because I have big hips and a pancake butt so they are baggy in the rear. I got over wearing spandex in public a long time ago as I play for a women's tackle football team called the Sacramento Sirens. Now I wouldn't play in anything else because it doesn't restrict my movement at all when running and getting out of my stance.

I do have a question regarding running shorts. I am getting into tri's and need to find some plus size running shorts (I am a size 22-24, still losing weight). I usually just run in my cycling shorts because they don't ride up, but obviously the chamois isn't ideal for longer distances. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

We have 3 options in plus size run shorts: http://www.teamestrogen.com/product/...cialty_03.html

Personally, I think the Brooks are the best option. They simply DO NOT ride up, as they have a compression short underneath, attached to the outer short at the inseam. Very cleverly built.
