Ten Thousand Interval Short vs Vivobarefoot Primus Lite IV
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: Ten Thousand Interval Short takes it — 77 vs 74.
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 IV — Buy if you want maximum ground feel for lifting, functional training and hard gym floors, and you or your clients are already used to barefoot shoes.
Our pick 
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.
Vivobarefoot Primus Lite IV
74Score · Low
from €97
The Primus Lite IV keeps the class-leading ground feel of the III in a lighter, more resource-efficient build. Early reviews flag weaker durability and grip, and crowd data is still thin.
