HOKA Clifton 11 vs Ten Thousand Interval Short
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: HOKA Clifton 11 takes it — 81 vs 77.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- HOKA Clifton 11 — You coach easy-day and recovery clients, or heavier heel strikers, who want soft, protective cushioning in a neutral daily trainer.
- Ten Thousand Interval Short — You want one durable, high-mobility do-everything short and don't mind paying about €80.
Our pick 
HOKA Clifton 11
81Score · Medium
from €119
A lighter, softer and better-fitting Clifton for easy miles. The foam is unchanged, so it is still protective rather than lively, and outsole wear is an open question.
Ten Thousand Interval Short
77Score · Medium
from €79.95
A durable, highly mobile do-it-all training short that reviewers rate well — now sold direct to Germany in euros, but at a higher price and with mixed post-sale support.
