For years I have only run in capris, pants, or one pair of fitted shorts. like these
I would love to try some running shorts, I'm just afraid that they are going to ride up in the crotch and that drives me crazy. My legs touch so I don't know if there is any getting around it other than wearing compression type shorts.

I'm in the same boat as you...I've pretty much given up my search since I've wasted a decent amount of money on shorts people swear by including lululemon that don't work for me. If I am running more than 5 miles, I have to wear compression shorts under my looser shorts. My favorite compression shorts are the ones you posted. I've had good luck with These
i prefer running shorts that are a little longer (im tall, so shorter shorts are just ridiculous on me). some 4" inseam work, but really, i need 5" or longer. my favorites are from the UA outlet, but they're not online.
i also really like adidas response 6", i cant find them online, but ive seen them in lots of different stores.
it was a very hit or miss process for me, i had to try on a LOT of shorts to find a few pairs i like. going somewhere and trying them on helps a lot.
i also have longer UA compression shorts (i think they're 7"?) that i like a lot.

I'm in love with the Hana 2 in 1 shorts from Athleta. It's a 6" compression short underneath a lightweight regular short, so 2 in 1. They're a little less revealing than regular compression shorts, and they have a grippy thing on the underside of the shorts so they don't ride up.
Target has some that aren't bad. And last summer I found of shorts and shirts at JCP that were super cheap and really comfy. Try out Ross, TJMaxx, Nordstrom Rack for some great deals on shorts.
these are by far and away my favorite running shorts...they are made by Soffe for the Rangers, Special Forces, USMC....the Regular Army has shitty PT shorts.
i have the SOCOM version (meaning it has the SOCOM insignia on it) but these are my fav running shorts
this is how the size M looks on me, all military PT shorts run small for some reason...there are days I fold them over as well, but they are so light weight that i don't even notice i'm wearing shorts at all. i've never tried on a small, one of my SF friends gave me the pair I have, and honestly if I never ran in other shorts again, I'd be fine. i don't even feel them ride up, they have an inner liner, but it is very light since in the light the shorts are pretty see through...you can cut out the inner liner, i haven't.
you can find them for like $9.99 online if you shop around just google "ranger panties".
I swear by lululemon speed shorts. The declining quality doesn't seem to have reached these...yet. I have an embarrassing number of these (I could probably go 3-4 weeks without rewearing.
