Is ‘Ballard' returning for season 2? Everything we know so far
Ever since Ballard dropped on Prime Video on July 9, 2025, fans have been glued to their screens, hooked on the gritty crime drama and Maggie Q's powerhouse performance as Detective Renée Ballard. That Season 1 finale? Talk about a gut-punch! With Renée arrested for a murder she didn't commit and a conspiracy unraveling in the LAPD, everyone's asking: Will there be a Ballard Season 2? Let's break down the latest news. The Cliffhanger That Left Fans Speechless
If you've binged all 10 episodes of Ballard Season 1, you're probably still recovering from the cliffhanger in 'End of the Line.' Renée, our fierce cold case detective, cracks a serial killer case only to find herself in handcuffs, accused of killing Detective Robert Olivas—a shady cop with a grudge against her. Who's behind the murder? Is it the cartel, a rogue LAPD officer, or someone else entirely? The lack of answers has fans buzzing, and it's no surprise why—Michael Connelly knows how to keep us on edge. Has Ballard Season 2 Been Confirmed?
As of today, July 11, 2025, Amazon Prime Video hasn't given Ballard Season 2 the green light—or canceled it. But don't lose hope just yet. Michael Connelly, the brain behind Bosch and Ballard , sounded pretty upbeat in a recent ScreenRant chat. He said, 'We're feeling good about the show's vibe. It's got that spark people love, so fingers crossed for Season 2.' That's not a confirmation, but it's a strong hint they're banking on the show's success.
The numbers look promising, too. Ballard scored a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (based on nine reviews) and a solid 7.5/10 on IMDb. Plus, the trailer racked up over 12 million views, and X is lighting up with fans begging for more. Why a Second Season Seems Likely
Here's why Ballard Season 2 feels like a safe bet: Tons of Story to Tell : The show pulls from Connelly's novels like The Late Show and Desert Star , which give Renée plenty of cases and personal drama to explore. There's no shortage of material for another season.
Cliffhanger Central : That Season 1 ending screams for a follow-up. Who framed Renée? What's the deal with the LAPD conspiracy? The showrunners clearly planned for more.
The Bosch Legacy : The Bosch universe has a killer track record. The original Bosch series stretched to seven seasons, and Bosch: Legacy just wrapped its third. Ballard could easily follow suit.
Fan and Critic Love: Maggie Q's performance is earning raves, and the show's mix of gritty mysteries and character depth has hooked viewers. Sure, some X posts called the dialogue a bit stiff, but the overall vibe is positive.
That said, Amazon's decision will come down to viewership stats and budget. Since the show just premiered, it might be a few weeks (or months) before we hear anything official. Patience, detective fans!

Suspect in Los Angeles car-ramming incident has a criminal history and was on parole, police say
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man suspected of driving his car into a crowd on a sidewalk in Los Angeles, injuring 36 people, has a criminal history that includes a conviction for felony battery, officials said Sunday. The driver, identified by police as 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez, was attacked by bystanders after the crash early Saturday in east Hollywood and paramedics later found that he had been shot. Police were still searching for the suspected shooter, described as a man with a goatee in a blue Dodgers jacket. Ramirez, of San Clemente, California, was recovering and was expected to face a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon. He could not be reached for comment and it wasn't known if he had an attorney. Los Angeles police Capt. Ben Fernandes told KNBC-TV on Sunday that Ramirez was sentenced in 2020 for attacking a man outside of a Whole Foods grocery store in June 2019. He was on parole at the time of Saturday's crash, but it's unclear whether it was in connection with the 2019 attack or another case. Ramirez has had at least 11 criminal cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, KNBC reported. In January 2022, he was charged with felony domestic battery and entered a not guilty plea. That case remains open. A line of people — mostly women — were waiting to enter the Vermont Hollywood event venue around 2 a.m. when they were struck by a Nissan Versa that also hit a food vending cart and valet stand, Fire Capt. Adam VanGerpen said Saturday. At least 36 people were treated for injuries including fractures and lacerations, police said Sunday without providing updates on their conditions. It was not immediately clear if Ramirez was shot before or after the crash or why he drove into the crowd.

I Visit Disney World Every Year. Here's What I Pack.,
I've been to Disney World more times than I can count — and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that the right packing list can make or break your Disney trip. You don't need to overdo it, but you do need to plan smart. As you prepare yourself for everything from that hot Florida heat to sporadic rainstorms and long lines to nightly fireworks, remember that your day at Disney is a marathon, not a sprint. The goal? Maximize magic, minimize meltdowns. Over the years, I've fine-tuned my go-to gear for a stress-free Disney park experience. These are the items I actually bring in my backpack or wear in the parks — tested by long walking days, character meet and greets, and riding every roller coaster. Whether it's a portable charger that won't die by noon or a neck fan that saves you from a heat-induced spiral, here's what I'd pack to make the most out of every Disney day. Stay cool no matter how hot it gets with a neck fan Florida heat doesn't play around, and this bladeless neck fan will cool you down. It rests comfortably around your neck like headphones, blowing cool air directly onto your face and neck while keeping your hands free for more Mickey Mouse pretzels. It's quiet, rechargeable, and way more discreet than you'd expect — no need to sacrifice style for survival. Don't worry – your hair won't get tangled in this one like the old-school blade it from Amazon for $27.19+ (available in five colors). Sanitize before eating your favorite Mickey Mouse-shaped pretzel Let's try not to think too much about how dirty the handrails and dividers are on those long lines for the rides. This sleek, credit-card-shaped bottle from Touchland slips easily into any park bag or pocket, and the mist goes on evenly without that sticky residue. Aside from being on-theme, the mist also smells amazing. Get it from Amazon for $20. A perfectly-sized backpack that you can bring on every ride The last thing you want is to lug around a heavy backpack for 12 hours and then doing it all over again the next day. For a lightweight, no-fuss backpack that can fit on every ride, the Osprey Daylite backpack is my favorite. It's comfortable to wear all day and has plenty of space for park essentials without weighing you it from Amazon for $47.41+ (available in 18 colors). Recharge your devices and check wait times on the Disney World app with a portab Your phone is your lifeline at Disney — between taking photos, using the Disney World app or Genie+ and placing mobile orders — and this portable charger has the battery power to keep it alive all day (and then some). (The Disney app, for one, is a game-changer – it shows wait times for rides in real time.) With multiple ports and a digital display, it's easy to share power with your group and know exactly how much juice you've got left. It's a little heavy, but totally worth it for peace of mind when you're having 12-hour days of pure magic. Get it from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in four colors). A hat that everyone will be asking about Disney fashion is out on display in the parks. You don't want to get sunburnt on your first day, so this Stitch trucker hat gets the job done while playing the part. The mesh back keeps you cool on hot days, without blocking your view during parades or shows. It's lightweight, adjustable, and easy to toss in your bag after dark.

Keep your prized possessions dry as you're barreling down Tatiana's Bayou Advent You have to ride the new Tiana's Bayou Adventure at the Magic Kingdom park – it replaced the long-running Splash Mountain last June. For log-flume rides like these that come with a high chance of getting completely soaked, a dry bag is a lifesaver.

Plus, the transparent plastic means you're not digging around blindly when you're in line for a Dole Whip ice cream it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five sizes and 11 colors). Affordable sunglasses that won't fall off your face no matter how fast you go on Tron Leave your expensive sunglasses at home, because losing them in Hollywood Studios on Slinky Dog Dash isn't a very happy ending. These Goodr sunglasses are my go-to for park days — lightweight, non-slip, and polarized so you're not squinting at Cinderella's Castle. They stay put on rides like Tron Lightcycle / Run and Tiana's Bayou Adventure. The translucent frames and reflective lenses add fun to your 'fit. Plus, they're affordable enough that if you lose them on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, it won't ruin your them from Amazon for $25. Hair clips that give a subtle nod to the magic of Mickey and Minnie Don't underestimate the power of a good hair clip at Disney — especially when it's 92 degrees and you've been riding roller coasters since 8 a.m. These mini claw clips are lightweight, non-slip, and come in a pack of 20, so you won't stress if one gets lost in the depths of your backpack. They're perfect for quick updos, half-up styles, or keeping your hair out of your lunch. Get them in a pack of four or them from Amazon for $9.99+.

Trust me, your feet will thank you by the time you hit mile them from Amazon for $119.95+ (available in men's sizes 7–14). A T-shirt that pays homage to a beloved attraction Muppet Courtyard, an area of the park that included the Muppets*Vision 3D attraction and PizzeRizzo restaurant, closed earlier this month to make way for a 'Monsters Inc' installation, and superfans paid their final visits to say goodbye to a classic. You can pay homage with this 100% cotton Comfort Colors tee printed with an original design from Main Street Thieves. The California-based small business specializes in unique Disney designs that offer new riffs on classic characters. Get it from Main Street Thieves for $39 (available in unisex sizes S–4XL and two colors).

The GoPro Hero13 Black is compact and easy to use with voice-activated shooting options. Set up your GoPro on its handheld tripod and simply say 'GoPro, take a photo!' to capture the moment. Keep in mind that you cannot bring a recording device on most rides for safety reasons – but there are a few exceptions, like Mad Tea Party and It's a Small World. Get it from Amazon for $329.

28 Style Pieces Amazon Customers Love July 2025
Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending~. Here are some of the most stylish and loved pieces of clothing and accessories on the list recently: A comfy tank dress for something simple but versatile. Pair this with some wedge sandals, necklace, and clutch for a casual night out, or throw on a jean jacket and some Converse when you hit the park. Other styling options include (but certainly aren't limited to): adding a belt, a scarf or wrap, a light cardigan, or some statement earrings. Promising review: "Absolutely love the color! This dress is super cute. Looks great on. Classic cut, simple, no fuss. The material is really soft and stretchy. Definitely not see-through. IMO true to size. I could have easily sized down (I personally do not like skin-tight clothes), and it would have been fine. Still looks great. I have the hot pink and the red one. These can be dressed up or down. IMO, this does not look cheap. I am actually surprised by the quality. Would buy again and probably will, in different colors." —ParkecyPrice: $14.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and 12 colors) A deep V-neck tee that's a favorite wardrobe basic for lots of reviewers, so you're probably gonna want to grab more than one — and luckily, it comes in dozens of colors and patterns! Promising review: "These are some of my favorite tees. They are so soft and breathable in the heat. It doesn't wrinkle and has just the right stretch to make it a comfortable fit. Match it with a pair of jeans and some kicks or heels, and you'll be looking good." —Michelle ReneePrice: $7.19+ (available in sizes S–3X and 40 colors) A pair of wide-leg linen blend pants so you can look *and* feel ~effortlessly cool~ as you stroll down the boardwalk or mosey about the historic downtown square of whatever tourist town you're visiting. Promising review: "Love these! I didn't think they'd work for me, but they are a great fit. Fit a bit snugly in the hips, bottom, and thighs at first. After wearing for about an hour in this summer heat and humidity, they stretched out a bit, and whatever wrinkles were in them disappeared. Favorite thing about wearing linen/linen blend clothing. I definitely don't recommend sizing up because they will loosen with wear. I've washed them twice. First time I air dried them, and second time I dried them in the dryer, and they did not shrink. Very breathable fabric and cool in the heat. Beautiful colors. Will definitely order more. I love that they have pockets too!" —AfroballerinaPrice: $29.69 (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors) A pleated square-neck tank top, because tight, body-hugging camis and crop tops aren't always the vibe. Sometimes you want a looser summer tank with a beautiful drape instead — and that's where this comes in! Promising review: "I LOVE these tanks! Legit, I bought the teal one twice because I accidentally stained the first one a week after I bought the first one, and was so sad. Then I also bought the black and peach ones. They have a really nice square cut, cover wide bra straps, don't swoop too low in the armpit, and have a great length. It's basically the perfect tank for long torsos! They are super soft, didn't fade or shrink in the wash either. The fabric is great quality, and I feel confident and comfortable while wearing them. 100% recommend. Affordable AND worth every penny!" —Brittany L. MurphyPrice: $8.49+ (available in sizes S–4X and 43 colors and styles) A moisture-wicking, quick-dry tennis skort since there's no reason you can't look cute while being active all summer long. Whenever there's a good chance you'll be moving your body and getting sweaty — walks, pickleball, sightseeing, etc. — this darling number has you covered in terms of fashion *and* functionality! Promising review: "These are the best skirts. I have five of them in four different colors. Very comfortable and can be dressed up for the office. I highly recommend!!!" —TifPrice: $18.86 (available in sizes XS–XXL and tons of colors) A casual swing dress with pockets that'll quickly become a regular in your weekly rotation. It's cute, comfy, and looks great with pretty much any pair of shoes! Promising review: "This VERY reasonably priced dress is so cute! Perfect for an outdoor party, or home chores, or a quick trip to the store. Washes well. Fabric is cool in the heat. Fits as described, with just enough flare in the skirt. Glad I bought two!" —Labbylover197732Price: $19.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 43 colors and patterns) A spaghetti strap shorts romper promising pajama-like comfort alongside a very trendy slouchy-chic aesthetic — sounds like a winning combo to me! Promising review: "I'm just going to say that I absolutely love these rompers! They are well-priced, well-made, and arrived quickly! The size I would say would be a true fit in terms of how you want to wear them. I personally like my rompers to be a little bit bigger, loose, and baggy, and the size I bought was perfect for that. Ended up loving them so much that I bought one more in each shade, leaving my closet with six of these rompers now. They're, in my opinion, just the coziest thing to wear during the spring and summer when the days are nice. Being out and about or just in the coziness of your own home, you don't have to worry about being uncomfortable or itchy in these. After my mom saw them, she decided to purchase some and has been loving them as well. Overall, if you are looking for a casual and cozy outfit, look no further because they will make you so happy annnnd they have pockets." —ShaunaPrice: $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 29 colors and styles) Or, a similar slouchy mini dress (with built-in shorts) if you're going for a trendy, big-name brand (you know the one) look on a budget. Promising review: "One of my favorite Amazon purchases! So comfy and cute. I get compliments all the time. Here to order another one because I want to wear it every day! Buy it!" —Jenypher JonesPrice: $25.63 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 23 colors) A ribbed scoop-neck short-sleeve T-shirt that reviewers say is soft, wonderfully stretchy, and has a nice thickness to it — not too thin, nor too heavy. Basically, it's comfortably snug on the body without being *too* tight or formfitting. Promising review: "These are my new favorite shirts. I've ordered three of them in different colors. They fit perfectly, don't lose their shape throughout the day from stretching, and stay fitted to me all day, without being too tight. The material is really soft. I will be buying a few more. You won't regret buying these." —Heather McCrawPrice: $11.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 30 colors) A gorgeous floral cover-up with so many styling possibilities, it'll practically pay for itself by summer's end. Slip this on over your swimsuits, dresses, tanks, and other warm-weather outfits to give them an extra fashionable touch. Promising review: "I am so big into this kimono look. I now have four of them, all in different colors and lengths. There is plenty of fabric if I want to cross the front and belt it. It falls to mid-thigh in the back (the front curves upward). The first time I wore it, I got a LOT of compliments on it. I am very, very happy with this!" —anniebPrice: $9.49+ (available in sizes S–3X and 37 styles) A pair of high-waisted yoga pants you'll love for lounging about at home (obviously) but love even more when you wear them to work and are actually comfortable all day long. Yep, you heard me right — reviewers say these yoga pants are dressy enough to pass the office dress code! Promising review: "I wanted some comfortable pants for work that still look professional, and these are just that! Stretchy, thick material that looks like wide-leg slacks. Front pockets are functional. I love the inseam length options — I'm a millennial and still need my pants dragging the ground! They're perfect!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $19.99+ (available in sizes XXS–3X, five inseam lengths, and 28 colors) A pair of high-waisted 7-inch swimming shorts made from a lightweight, quick-dry fabric that's chlorine-resistant and UPF 50+ protected, making them a fabulous alternative to classic swimsuit bottoms on days you plan to swim *and* play some beach volleyball (or maybe go for a paddle). Plus, they have a built-in liner and spacious side pockets, too! Promising review: "These shorts are everything I was looking for! The high waist is super comfortable, and the quick-dry material is a game-changer for beach and pool days. I love the side pockets, they're deep enough for my phone and other essentials. The liner adds extra comfort without feeling bulky. They stay in place, even during water activities. Highly recommend for anyone looking for cute, modest, and functional swim shorts!" —LillyPrice: $25.80 (available in sizes S–3X and 24 colors and patterns) A longline sports bra since it's so buttery soft and comfy, you could probably live in it 24/7 (and honestly, nobody is stopping you from doing that — just try to wash it every few days, please). Lots of reviewers find it *very* similar to the pricey Lululemon version or even better. Promising review: "Soooo comfortable, I live in this top now. I sleep in it and I've worked out in it. No complaints — want more colors." —conley $17.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 32 colors) A two-strap sandal that you might mistake for the OG you look at the much lower price tag. According to reviewers, these are just as comfy and supportive with a nearly identical look. Promising review: "These sandals are a perfect blend of comfort and support. The footbed molds nicely to your feet after just a few wears, and the adjustable straps make it easy to get the right fit. I've worn them for long walks and errands with no issues — no rubbing or blisters at all. The earthy tone goes with everything and looks great with jeans, shorts, or casual dresses. I also appreciate the sturdy sole, which doesn't wear down quickly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a Birkenstock-style sandal without the high price tag!" —HeatherRPrice: $29.98+ (available in sizes 5–13, wide sizes, and 26 colors) Or, a daintier twisted toe-strap pair from the same brand because — you guessed it — they're just as impressive as the daintier Birkenstocks Mayaris style, only for less. The nearly 60,000 5-star ratings don't lie. Promising review: "I bought these shoes right before my honeymoon because I wanted comfortable sandals that I would be able to walk long distances in. My husband and I love to get to know cities by walking around. We probably walked 15-20 miles in these shoes in all sorts of weather over all sorts of terrain, and they were INCREDIBLE. We thought for sure they would start to come apart when we spent an entire day at the lake with them fully submerged in water. Nope. They held strong. Cannot recommend these enough. I also bought my husband a pair from this brand before the trip — he is not a sandal-wearing guy. But these completely converted him. He loves them!" —AliPrice: $28.49+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and 22 colors) A ribbed racerback tank featuring a double-layered bust and removable pads, so you can ditch the bra without necessarily having to ditch the support, too. Switching to this 2-in-1 might even help minimize the dreaded summer swoob (aka boob sweat). Promising reviews: "I really like this tank top. It's a good length (not too long). The thickness of the fabric is just right, and a bonus is the lightly padded built-in bra. So perfect for a hot summer!! I bought two colors so far and plan on buying more." — $14.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 colors) A pair of chiffon sarong wraps that you can tie around your waist to ~zhuzh~ up your bikini *or* drape over your shoulders for some light sun protection. Promising review: "These are super cute and the length is perfect, and you can make them longer or shorter without looking tacky. You can also use it to cover shoulders/arms from the sun as well." —KristinaPrice: $6.34 for a two-pack (available in one size fits most and 29 color sets) A buttery-soft two-piece loungewear set for when you want to maximize style and comfort while minimizing effort. Just throw this matching ensemble on with some cute sneakers and sandals, and you're good to go — zero brainpower required! Promising review: "I bought this outfit to travel to the beach and it did not disappoint!!! Feels like butter, so soft. I wantit in every color!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $25.49+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 19 colors) A pair of boho-style shorts because you simply cannot wear heavy, suffocating denim shorts when the temps reach above 80. Well, allow me to introduce your new summer besties: these lightweight, breathable, and downright stylish bbs. You're welcome. Promising review: "LOOOOve these shorts. Only worn a few times, so hopefully they hold up to regular wear. They are really nice thickness (not denim thick but thicker than linen). They are pretty heavily dyed, so definitely wash separately. As others said, SIZE UP for a great fit. The drawstring is really nice. Deep front pockets! I'll definitely order more!" —benPrice: $24.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 44 colors) A cap-sleeve T-shirt that's casual but elegant, and more importantly, designed to keep your armpits and bra out of sight (and that's always welcome). Promising review: "This is a closet staple! I LOVE that the underarms have an extra piece of fabric so it doesn't show your bra. Fabric is a nice material, and it is not a crop top, which is such a nice thing these days." —Taylor Amazon CustomerPrice: $12.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 25 colors and styles) A pair of retro-inspired oval sunglasses to protect your eyes with a bit of '90s flair. You'll be oh-so-stylish, and you won't have to struggle with squinting in the sunlight, either! Promising review: "A must-buy!!! These sunnies are the perfect size, shape, and color, while also being extremely lightweight and comfortable. Very complementary to the face. If you haven't bought yet, this is your sign!!! Brb ordering the other colors now. :)" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $13.62+ (available in 10 styles and in multipacks) A flowy peasant tunic top so you can grab your favorite tote bag and head to the farmers market like the local-business-supporting ~Boho Icon~ you are. Promising review: "Love it! This shirt is light enough for summer, but with the 3/4 sleeves, it can be worn in fall and spring! I loved the style so much that I ordered two other designs." —KelliPrice: $22.94+ (available in sizes S–3X and 12 colors and designs) A pair of high-waisted athletic shorts that reviewers absolutely love for lounging, hiking, running, and everything in between. A lot of folks say they're just as good as Lululemon shorts, only waaayyy cheaper. Promising reviews: "These shorts completely exceeded my expectations! The color is vibrant and so pretty — exactly like the photos. The fit and feel are incredible; they seriously feel just like Lululemon shorts but for a fraction of the price. Super comfortable and perfect for workouts or lounging. I've already recommended them to a few friends and will definitely be buying more!" —KoolKats"These shorts are identical to Lululemon shorts at a much lower price. They fit true to size. They wick sweat. I wear them to work in the yard regularly and just around the house because they are so comfortable. The only difference between these and the Lulu shorts is the small logo on the back. I love them so much that I have them in at least four colors. My daughter is a Lulu snob and asked me, 'When did you get those Lulu shorts?' Will order again in other colors. They are not see-through, they are great for working out, and the zipper on the back is of great quality." — $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 26 colors) A two-pack of Henley tanks because you won't want just one of these stylish everyday shirts, especially when you discover the clever drawstring on the side that lets you cinch the top for a looser or tighter fit. Promising review: "Very cute tops with the cinch on the side! Washes well, very soft, doesn't wrinkle. Plan to order more!" —susyQPrice: $21.59+ for two (available in sizes S–XXL and 13 color sets) A lightweight puffy tote bag destined to accompany you on all your summer adventures: beach trips, park picnics, weekend trips, and more. Reviewers love how roomy this bag is and especially the fact that a large Stanley cup fits in the outside pocket! 😍 Promising review: "This is a great tote and has almost no weight of its own. It holds my large planner in an interior pocket and my 40-ounce Stanley in an outside pocket. Best tote I have ever purchased, and I have many! Thinking about getting another color, but this one goes with everything." —Gina MarriottPrice: $34.99+ (available in two sizes and 17 colors) An adorable high-waisted bikini set if you're ready to feel confident as all heck lounging on the beach and sun-tanning by the pool. Lots of reviewers who haven't worn a two-piece bathing suit in years say that this suit finally made them feel confident enough to do so! Promising review: "I cannot rave enough about this bikini! From the moment I put it on, I felt confident, comfortable, and incredibly stylish. The fit is perfect — hugs all the curves and offers great support, especially for a high-waisted style. The quality of the fabric is top-notch; it feels durable yet soft against the skin, and the vibrant floral print is absolutely gorgeous and eye-catching. Whether I'm lounging by the pool, walking along the beach, or enjoying water sports, this bikini stays in place and keeps me feeling fabulous all day long. It's truly a blend of fashion and function! I've received so many compliments every time I wear it, and I've already purchased a second one in a different color! It's worth every star — I give it 100!" —MelissaPrice: $37.79 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 40 colors) Plus, a quick-dry water shoe to keep your feet protected (read: from touching slimy seaweed and pinching sand crabs) while you're splashing in the waves. Promising review: "Best water shoes I've EVER purchased! I got mine about three years ago, and I'm STILL using them! They are comfy and don't feel like a nuisance on my feet! My kiddos and husband liked them too, so I ordered the entire family a pair. Great value for the money and fit true to size!" —chrisPrice: $6.99+ (available in sizes 3–14, men's sizes 2–13, and 44 colors and styles) A moisture-wicking high-impact sports bra to keep everything securely in place while you're jumping up and down. Even large-chested reviewers find this bra supportive (without it being suffocating, don't worry). Promising reviews: "I typically wear a 36–38D bra, and I bought a size 2XL. I purchased this bra for a dance fitness class. It is perfect! Very comfortable and supportive. The pads are sewn in, so there's no losing them in the wash. It seems very well made. My youngest daughter tried it on and loved the fit so much that she took it back to college with her. I'm going to purchase a replacement for myself. The price is great too." —RTN"This running sports bra is exactly what I was looking for!
