I bought these shorts as they were advertised as being replacements for the no longer available Ocean Pacific Shorts (I still have one pair left after owning many).  These shorts have a longer inseam and, therefore, are about 3" longer from top to bottom.  I liked the Ocean Pacific length as I could use them for running - they didn't bind my legs.  These new ones are too long and bind my legs so I can't use them for running.
