Boxer Brief (Longer), Trunk (Shorter)Reviewer Photos & Videos
Seriously great undies.
Have never reviewed a product before, these jocks are so seriously great that I’ve had to jump on and write one. I’ve got tree trunks for legs, always have a tough time buying leg related clothes, these bad boys fit perfectly, don’t ride up, keep everything where it’s meant to be and the Lycra panels really do make your legs glide together. No chaffing at all!! Got a 4 pack to start with, on day 5 after arrival I had to revert to a pair of the old ginch, felt like I’d strapped some sandpaper on.. So impressed that I’ve just dialled in and doubled my fleet. Don’t listen to any of the odd propaganda reviews; Do yourself a favour lads, take the dive, your getaway sticks will thank you!
Don’t expect magic
It was really easy to find the right product toward what I was looking for and the full range offered was an ease to navigate within.
The product came has a very high quality and really comfortable.
It just didn’t prove what was advertised on the tin.

Ordered 2 Weeks Ago - Still Not Shipped!!
My Order Number is 403930, and I really need help from the spokes person for Step One.
2 weeks ago (2nd July) I ordered 7 pairs of the Boxer Briefs in all different colours. After 7 days, I contacted Step One wondering why they had not been dispatched, and last Saturday I received a reply, telling me that my order had been stuck on "Pending" status, because the Cookie Monster colour was no longer available. Rochell was very polite and helpful. I told her to replace them with the Butternuts colour instead.
Rochell said she informed the Wareho...
Read moreuse Team of this matter, and a shipping confirmation will be sent, as soon as the package is dispatched. But now, almost another week has passed and they still haven't been shipped. It's exactly 14 days ago that I did this order and paid $154.00 I think you have a wonderful product, because I bought 3 pairs of the Boxer Briefs for my 81 year old Dad about a month ago, and he loved them. Could you please contact the packing warehouse, and tell them to ship my order out, as I want my Dad to have these, so then he has 10 pairs, instead of 3. My Order Number is 403930, for 7 pairs of x-large Boxer Briefs in, Black Currant, Smashed Avo, Gun Metal, Ahoy Sailor, Juicy Plums, Butternut and Snow Flurries? hahaha, I can't remember. They are coloured white anyway. You have come up with some really interesting names. I have included a screenshot of my Order Confirmation email. Thankyou.PeterPavSouth West, WA
Comfortable but questionable quality
Good website. Easy to order the right size.
Delivery was really slow but to be fair that’s hard to judge during COVID.
Good design and cut producing good comfort.
Stitching protruding in a couple of spots and digging in. Had to be trimmed with scissors.
Hole in the bum after the first wearing.
Very expensive especially considering the poor quality.
Unfortunately wouldn’t recommend to anyone else and definitely wouldn’t purchase again.

Marketing/mass brainwashing...Where is the line?
I found the perfect boxers today...and they weren't step one! (Icebreaker merino)
The material used in these feels amazing, until the rigid, sand paper like waist band gets you! Got a bit if ball discomfort as well! Also, these are slow drying. But I definitely got sucked in by the ads! Baaa! Good concept, needs refining (soft waistband).

Read more Appreciate you trying Step Ones, we can't be all things to everyone and glad you've found a nice pair in the Merino.

Very comfortable but unfortunately they developed large holes in the material after only wearing once. This happened to all 3 pairs so it wasn't just a one off. Would not recommend based on my experience.
Michael L.Greater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC
Not that great
The sizing is all over the place no 2 pairs are a like, stitching fell apart on 2 out of 5 pairs. Shipping took forever, I know auspost were under the pump durrimg COVID. Still rides up, never chaffed before until i tried them. Definitely not as comfortable as they are made out to be, had to purchased another brand as they are virtually un wearable

Not likely to repeat!
Bought 1 pair to trial! Trying on. Unlikely to repeat, no fly serious ommision in design especially for Senior citizens who tend to pee more often plus too many goods Made in China these days!
Great customer service, underwhelmed with the product.
I want to start off by saying that the customer service was faultless and I had no problem dealing with Step One while interacting with them.
I have big quads and big glutes from many hours in the gym and playing sport over the years - and like all the guys in the adverts, historically I have struggled with underwear riding up all the time and feeling too tight etc. (I have always had to buy loose fitting boxers one size up, which end up being not so loose fitting). I saw the Step One boxers via an ad on IG and thought these would solve all my...
Read more problems. In short, they didn't. My waist is 34 inch, but I always have to get underwear or trousers at 36 inch for them to feel comfortable on the legs/glutes (at their widest points my legs are 24-25 inch and my glutes 39-40 inch). For smart trousers/suits I always have to get tailor made. Seeing that this design was 'made for guys with big legs' I thought I'd order a pair true to my waist size (34inch = size M on the sizing chart) and let the technology of the design fit around me. I received my size M and thought they felt a tad tight, but not too bad. I liked the material, feel and aesthetic design of the boxers but after about one hour of moving around the house in them (nothing major, standing/sitting/stairs a few times), they'd ridden up and it all felt a bit 'close' down there. I wondered if I needed a size up. So I got in contact to take advantage of the 'first pair for free' scheme which they have available (which I think is brilliant by the way!). With a very swift reply to my email, Step One sent me a size up (they sent me a different colour which I thought was strange but I was willing to ignore this as I would have ordered more in a variety of colours if the size L were on the money). The larger size was definitely a better fit and are great if you just stand without moving much, but after a bit of time in them....they still rode up and left me a bit sweaty down there! Maybe my dimensions are on the extreme end, but I'm just left feeling a bit disappointed and cheated by the branding claims. I seem to be the minority in my experience but thought it'd be worth sharing as to my understanding - Step One are trying to target those with extreme measurements with their underwear.3 comments

Hey Tom,
This is a really super useful review for us and something I'll raise with the production team. As per the sizing chart, if you are between sizes, we recommend going up a size, but we aim to make them as true to size as we can. ...
Read moreWe know buying online can be tricky, which is exactly why we have the First Pair Guarantee, which I'm glad you have taken advantage of. As you pointed out, we get it right most of the time, but on the odd occasion, for whatever reason, they just don't work for some people. We can't be all things to all people, but we do try and we certainly stand by our claims made in our marketing and communications, including the First Pair Guarantee. I didn't see if you had made a claim for a full refund, but please get in touch so we can give you a refund on your purchase. I really appreciate these types of reviews as it gives a view from a customer they didn't work for, but also should give customers comfort that we stand by our First Pair Guarantee and it's a no-risk purchase as if they don't' work out, even after trying a second pair, you are not left out of pocket. Appreciate the review and thanks for trying Step One, sorry it didn't work out :( Regards GregThanks Greg,
That's very kind of you to offer a refund - how do I go about this/who do I need to contact?...

Thanks for trying Step Ones and your useful feedback ...
Still ride up
Seems good when you first wear them, but after just 2 or 3 washes the fit changes and they ride up worse than other underwear, the colour fades very quickly.

Greg T.Step One
Hey Shannon,
This definitely shouldn't happen, what temperature are you washing them on? Colour fading is always a sign of the type of wash. Please let me know so we can work out what's happened.

Ouch - Nightmare seam down the middle of the pouch.
They seem comfortable when you’re not moving. As soon as you’re moving the inner seam down the middle of the pouch means a lot of adjustment is necesarry. Not for me. Get rid of the seam would be my advice.
davejoeking1974Central Queensland, QLD
Really disappointed in step one brief long that they rolls down showing plumber crack after sitting.
I’m wearing them now and need keep putting them up as they keep rolling down. And there aren’t made Australia only designed not worth the price when cheaper pairs I don’t have this problem
Only Partially SatisfiedSouth East Queensland, QLD
After the hype there is still chaffing - just elsewhere on the pants
The undies are overall comfortable, and you notice immediately that the upper inner leg and the male 'bits' are well catered for, which is great!...unfortunately, the seam between the 'no-chaff' item between the legs and the rest of the undies are very uncomfortable and rub, creating a different area for a 'rash' with a relatively uncomfortable 'sewing join'.... They can't be worn for very long distance walking

Read more is quite hard, and not a problem with the size, but a problem with both design, and the material in the sewing. They are no better than 'target/k-mart' and are not worth the price and are not nearly as 'quality' as Reeboks and Calvins (same price) thanks though!Michael3349AU

Make sure you order the right size and the claim they don’t ride up.
I ordered the wrong size, sent the unopened pairs back in return for the correct size. It has been over a month and I still have not received my replacement. I wonder if they would have let me pay for the items a month after receiving them.
In addition, the claim they don’t ride up when you squat is complete crap!

Good morning Michael,
If you have the wrong size that would explain your experience with the underwear riding up. With a size change up, you should no longer have that issue. ...

A new lot of the correct size has already been sent, not buying the ‘lost in transit’ excuse
TulkaraSouth East Queensland, QLD
Not for me.
Against all claims up they rode, no difference to any others I've tried. They are comfortable to wear but only until they end up bunched at the top of the leg. Shame but they are not for me.

great fit, doesn't last
The fit is great BUT they don't last, holes only after a few weeks. There are many people saying the same thing. We even wash them in a delicate s wash bag and we do not have a dryer. So sorry step one its the product not our washing machine. If you improve the quality ring us you will have a customer in us for life but with 3 pairs out of seven failing in a few weeks NO THANKS.

Read more Cheers EliseThe thinnest pair of undies on the planet! Already holes when opened!
I was really excited to try on my FIRST pair of Step One underwear. I received the package this morning, opened it up... it did not live up to my expectations.
The SIZING was completely fine!
I was expecting at least some sort of thick-ish material, but disappointingly, the material is as thin as THIN!! They feel so fragile, one stretch and I feel like they'll tear and become useless!!!
Opening it from the package, without even wearing it yet, I already see a hole in the seam of the crotch!!
I had really high expectations for this brand, but unfortunately, the underwear just does not live up to what claims to be... for the price, you really expect it to be thick, decent quality!!
Expecting a full refund. Thank you.

Dear Nickolas,
Sorry to hear, we have the odd bad apple in the bunch. ...
Read more We offer a full 12-month warranty on our products, by the sounds of it, these may require replacements if the fabric has a hole like described. Please fill out the form at https://stepone.life/pages/contact-us with your order number and some photos and if they are faulty we will of course replace them. Kind Regards GregDisappointed big time .
When you first put them on there fine , but then as the day progresses they drift down , and when that happens your jewels are again not contained , also the band always tends to fold , so no im not happy with them , and unfortunately i bought eight of them .
Cody B.South East Queensland, QLD
They are essentially bike elastic pants,they stop chaffing but they keep everything bunched up..not good
Looks great.. gives no breathing room for male jewels.. they are literally like bike pants with a fancy name. They do stop chaffing, but a differemr material should be used

Needs fly
I purchased 1 pair of the longer version for my husband but thought they werw a little expensive . He loves the lycra section and the leg length but despises the fact there is no fly. Finds it very inconvenient without and for thus reason alone would not purchase additional jocks. Now if you were to improve the design by incorporating a fly you'd have the perfect pair of jocks.

Details
Step One sets out to makes men’s bamboo underwear with simple aims in mind: to be really comfy, to remove the ‘permanent front wedgie,’ and to fit well, all for a fair price.
With an impressive 4.7 star rating from almost 4,000 reviews, this bamboo underwear succeeds. Many happy men reported that their new underwear was exceptionally comfortable, that it fit them well, and that there was no riding up or chafing.
According to Step One, thanks goes to the bamboo fabric, which breathes well and wicks away moisture away to ‘keep you dry and comfortable all day.’ Step One credits the underwear's good fit to a 3D contoured pouch with elastic stitching, which supports the crotch area and stretches to fit.
Step One is an ethical company with BSCI certification, and they use organically grown and FSC certified bamboo.
