Sports leggings for short legs anyone?

M&S no longer seem to do short lengths in their sports leggings. Tried lots of different brands in Sports Direct but couldn't find any short enough (and its too cold for cropped leggings).
And some had a very wide waist band and were very long waist-to-crotch - not a good look.

Any shorties out there recommend any?

And can't seem to find a proper sports bra in 34B in M&S either - all out of stock.

Fellow shorty following with interest!
I just tried ASOS but though they have Tall and Maternity activewear, no Petite Sad

Try 7/8 length.
I usually go for the Sweaty Betty ones, quite pricey though.

Am struggling with the SB price...

All I've been able to find so far is cropped or too long. Last year I bought a few Karrimor ones in the perfect ankle length from Sports Direct. But this year the same ones are several inches longer!

You could try TKMaxx. They usually have a (random but) good range of leggings. I even got a cosy fleece-lined pair the other day; I think they are probably 7/8 on most people (though not advertised as such) but come up full length on me (I am 5'3'')

I don’t shop in Sports Direct, so don’t know if you can get there there but I’ve got some adidas and some nike ones that are fine in length. I think the nike ones are 7/8 length.

I get them from eBay usually tbh but sometimes wiggle if I’m happy to pay full price!

YESS!!! Bump2Baby breathe collection, i managed to get some on early pre-order and i am 5ft 2! Perfect for me :)

I'm 5 foot and buy all mine in tk maxx . They are 3/4 and are about 7/8 to full length on me . I like rbx and mondetta because they are thick and not see through and also have a big panel at the top instead of a thin bit that sticks in my squishy tummy 😬
