Walk shorts vs boardshorts

Walk shorts are made for land: cotton, cord, and twill fabrics with real pockets for everyday wear. If you want a short that doubles for swimming, see our boardshorts. Many guys keep both, one for the water and one for the rest of the day.

Length and fit

Inseam sets the look: shorter hits above the knee, longer sits at or just below it. Most run true to size at the waist. Pair with a shirt and sandals for an easy warm-day fit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between walk shorts and boardshorts?
Walk shorts are made from land fabrics like cotton, cord, and twill with standard pockets, built for everyday wear. Boardshorts use quick dry stretch fabric and a secure waist designed for surfing and swimming.
What short length should I get?
A shorter inseam hits above the knee for a classic look, while a longer inseam sits at or just below the knee for more coverage. Choose by preference and how you like them to sit.
Do these shorts have a stretch waist?
It depends on the style. Some use an elastic or partially elastic waist for comfort, others a fixed waist with a zip fly. Check the product page for the waist details.
