Ten Thousand Interval Short vs Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III
Our pick: Ten Thousand Interval Short takes it — 77 vs 76.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- Ten Thousand Interval Short — You want one durable, high-mobility do-everything short and don't mind paying about €80.
- Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III — Buy if you want maximum ground feel for lifting and functional training and you are ready to transition to barefoot gradually.
Ten Thousand Interval Short
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.
Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III
The Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III is the reference barefoot gym shoe: a wafer-thin, zero-drop platform with class-leading ground feel that makes it superb for lifting, functional training and hard-floor work. It is polarizing though — the adaptation curve is real, versatility is limited, and the price is steep for what it is.
