![Three running shoes of the kind compared on this page - two Puma listings read on Myntra and a Puma Galaxis Pro read on Tata CLiQ - shown as they appear on their listing pages]()
Two big Indian platforms, one category, one afternoon. We read Myntra's running shoe listings and Tata CLiQ's on 17 September 2026 and put the numbers side by side.
The prices turn out to be the less interesting half. Where both platforms stock the same Puma, the price is often identical to the rupee - but one listing carries 1,512 ratings and the other carries ten. On this pair of shelves, the thing that actually differs between retailers is how much you can find out before you buy.
📈 Both catalogues read 17 September 2026
Same Puma Skyrocket Lite 2: Rs. 3,999 on both platforms
1,512 ratings on Myntra against 10 on Tata CLiQ
📅 Update log:
17 Sep 2026 — first published. Every price, MRP, badge, rating average and rating count on this page was read on 17 September 2026 from each platform's own listing data, logged out, in India. Both catalogues change daily and the live listings are always authoritative; we re-read comparisons like this one periodically and log what has changed here.
The same shoe, the same price, and 151 times the feedback
Start with the cleanest comparison the two catalogues offer. The Puma Skyrocket Lite 2 is listed on both platforms at Rs. 3,999, against the same stated MRP of Rs. 4,999, at the same 20 per cent badge. Not a rupee of difference, and no coupon or bank offer applied on either side.
What differs is everything you would use to decide. Myntra publishes 4.5 from 1,512 ratings on its listing. Tata CLiQ publishes 4.8 from 10. The higher average belongs to the listing with a hundred and fifty times less evidence behind it, which is exactly the trap a star rating sets when it is displayed without its count.
That gap is not a quirk of one shoe. Across the two pulls we read on 17 September - 47 listings on Myntra, 38 on Tata CLiQ - the median rating count is 1,492 on Myntra and 11 on Tata CLiQ. The largest sample we found on Myntra was 26,832 ratings on a Campus running shoe. The largest anywhere on Tata CLiQ was 186.
| The measure | Myntra | Tata CLiQ |
|---|
| Listings read with a price and an MRP | 47 | 38 |
| Listings publishing a rating | 38 of 47 | 22 of 38 |
| Median rating count | 1,492 | 11 |
| Largest rating count in the pull | 26,832 | 186 |
| Listings with fewer than ten ratings | 2 | 10 |
Three shoes both platforms stock, side by side
Most of the two catalogues do not overlap at all, which makes the handful of models that appear on both unusually informative. Here are the three Puma listings our pulls returned on both sides.
On the Softride Frequence Street, Tata CLiQ is Rs. 209 cheaper - Rs. 3,010 against Rs. 3,219 - and Myntra carries 2,953 ratings against 95. That is the trade this whole page comes down to: a small, real price advantage on one side, and an enormous evidence advantage on the other.
Note also the stated MRPs. Both platforms print Rs. 6,999 for the Softride and for the Galaxis Pro, and Rs. 4,999 for the Skyrocket. Where a manufacturer sets a real list price, it travels intact between retailers - which is worth remembering when you meet the badges further down this page.
| The shoe | On Myntra | On Tata CLiQ | What it means |
|---|
| Puma Skyrocket Lite 2 | Rs. 3,999, 20% off a stated Rs. 4,999, 4.5 from 1,512 ratings | Rs. 3,999, 20% off a stated Rs. 4,999, 4.8 from 10 ratings | Same price, same MRP, 151x the feedback |
| Puma Softride Frequence Street | Rs. 3,219, 54% off a stated Rs. 6,999, 4.5 from 2,953 ratings | Rs. 3,010, 57% off a stated Rs. 6,999, 4.2 from 95 ratings | Tata CLiQ is Rs. 209 cheaper; Myntra has 31x the ratings |
| Puma Galaxis Pro (women's on Myntra, men's on Tata CLiQ) | Rs. 3,219, 54% off a stated Rs. 6,999, 4.5 from 2,073 ratings | Rs. 3,500, 50% off a stated Rs. 6,999, 4.3 from 186 ratings | Different variants of one model; the MRP is identical |
The two catalogues are not selling the same thing
The headline price difference between the platforms - a median of Rs. 1,310 on Myntra against Rs. 2,796 on Tata CLiQ - is not a discount story. It is a stocking story.
Almost half of Myntra's running-shoe shelf in our pull is its own house label and one licensed brand: 14 HRX listings and 10 Red Tape listings out of 47, nearly all of them between Rs. 800 and Rs. 1,700. Tata CLiQ stocks neither. What Tata CLiQ has instead is the technical end - Nike, Asics, Skechers and Decathlon appear nine times between them and not once in our Myntra pull - along with four adidas listings at a median of Rs. 6,614.
So the two platforms are barely competing. If you want a Rs. 1,000 running-styled trainer, Myntra has a dozen and Tata CLiQ has three. If you want an Asics daily trainer or a Decathlon Kiprun, Tata CLiQ has them and Myntra, on the day we read it, did not.
| The brand | On Myntra | On Tata CLiQ |
|---|
| HRX (Myntra's own label) | 14 listings, median Rs. 1,106 | Not stocked |
| Red Tape | 10 listings, median Rs. 1,529 | Not stocked |
| Campus | 2 listings, median Rs. 1,018 | 6 listings, median Rs. 1,299 |
| ASIAN | 2 listings, median Rs. 684 | 6 listings, median Rs. 604 |
| Puma | 7 listings, median Rs. 3,499 | 4 listings, median Rs. 3,750 |
| adidas | 1 listing at Rs. 2,023 | 4 listings, median Rs. 6,614 |
| Nike, Asics, Skechers, Decathlon | None in our pull | 9 listings, Rs. 2,599 to Rs. 7,315 |
Myntra claims the bigger discounts. Tata CLiQ prints the bigger MRP
Both platforms lean on a crossed-out number, and they lean differently.
Myntra's median badge in our pull is 65 per cent against Tata CLiQ's 50, and ten Myntra listings claim 80 per cent or more - all of them Red Tape or HRX. The most extreme is an HRX shoe at Rs. 799 against a stated Rs. 4,999, an 84 per cent claim on Myntra's own house brand. Ten Red Tape listings claim 81 to 82 per cent off stated MRPs running up to Rs. 9,499, and five of those ten publish no rating at all.
Tata CLiQ never reaches 80 per cent in our pull, but it prints the single largest stated MRP we saw anywhere: Rs. 17,999 on an adidas listing selling at Rs. 7,200, which publishes no rating and does not name the model in its title. Neither approach tells you what a shoe is worth. Both tell you what the seller thinks the crossed-out number is worth.
| The measure | Myntra | Tata CLiQ |
|---|
| Median discount badge | 65% | 50% |
| Largest badge in the pull | 84% | 70% |
| Largest stated MRP | Rs. 9,499 | Rs. 17,999 |
| Listings claiming 80% or more | 10 | 0 |
| Median selling price | Rs. 1,310 | Rs. 2,796 |
How we counted
Both catalogues were read once on 17 September 2026, logged out, from India. The Myntra figures come from 47 listings returned by its own sports-shoes listing data; the Tata CLiQ figures from 38 listings returned by its own search for men's sports and running shoes. Medians are over those listings, not over the platforms' full catalogues, and a different query on a different day would return a different set. Rating counts are the figures each platform published against each listing at the moment we read them. Myntra pools ratings across a style family, so one count can cover several colourways; Tata CLiQ lists colourways separately, so one shoe's feedback is divided between listings that each show very little. Both behaviours are ordinary catalogue practice and neither is a defect we are alleging.
So which one should you buy from?
If you are spending under Rs. 1,500, buy from Myntra - not because it is cheaper in some abstract sense, but because at that price its listings carry thousands of ratings and Tata CLiQ's carry none. A Campus running shoe at Rs. 1,101 with 26,832 ratings is a different kind of purchase from an Asian Wonder 23 at Rs. 604 with no rating at all, even though both are sensible cheap shoes.
If you want a technical running shoe - Asics, Nike, Decathlon's Kiprun line - Tata CLiQ is where they are, and you will be buying on the brand rather than on the platform's feedback, because there is very little of it. That is survivable for a known model you have worn before, and risky for one you have not.
And when both stock the same shoe, check both. The Skyrocket Lite 2 is the same price on either; the Softride Frequence Street is Rs. 209 cheaper on Tata CLiQ. Two tabs, thirty seconds, and on this shelf the difference is occasionally real.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Myntra or Tata CLiQ cheaper for running shoes?
Neither, consistently. On the three Puma models both platforms stocked when we read them on 17 September 2026, the Skyrocket Lite 2 was Rs. 3,999 on both against the same stated Rs. 4,999, and the Softride Frequence Street was Rs. 209 cheaper on Tata CLiQ at Rs. 3,010 against Rs. 3,219. The large gap in median price - Rs. 1,310 on Myntra against Rs. 2,796 on Tata CLiQ - reflects what each stocks rather than what each charges: Myntra's shelf is dominated by its own HRX label and Red Tape, while Tata CLiQ carries Nike, Asics, Skechers and Decathlon.
Why do Tata CLiQ shoes have so few ratings?
Partly scale, partly catalogue structure. In our read, 16 of 38 Tata CLiQ listings published no rating at all and the median count among the rest was eleven. Colourways are listed separately there, so one popular shoe's feedback is divided between listings that each show almost nothing - the Asian Wonder 23 appears three times at Rs. 604 with three empty rating fields. Myntra pools ratings across a style family instead, which produces large counts but means a count describes the family rather than the colour you are looking at.
Which platform has better discounts on shoes?
Myntra displays bigger percentages: a median badge of 65 per cent against Tata CLiQ's 50, and ten listings claiming 80 per cent or more. But the largest claims sit on Myntra's own house brand and on Red Tape, whose stated MRPs run to Rs. 9,499 for shoes selling at Rs. 1,700. Tata CLiQ's biggest stated MRP is larger still - Rs. 17,999 on an adidas selling at Rs. 7,200. On both platforms the selling price is the only number that describes anything.
Are HRX shoes on Myntra good value?
They are the cheapest way onto Myntra's shelf and they carry real feedback, which is more than most of Tata CLiQ's cheap end offers. In our pull, 14 HRX listings had a median price of Rs. 1,106, and the ones we looked at carried between 2,649 and 13,114 ratings at averages around 4.2 to 4.4. What to ignore is the badge: HRX is Myntra's own label, so the platform sets both the selling price and the crossed-out figure, which is how a Rs. 799 shoe comes to claim 84 per cent off Rs. 4,999.
Where should I buy Asics or Nike running shoes?
Of these two, Tata CLiQ - our Myntra pull returned no Asics, Nike, Skechers or Decathlon listings at all, while Tata CLiQ returned nine between them, from Rs. 2,599 to Rs. 7,315. The catch is evidence: the two Asics GEL-ZARACA 5 listings at Rs. 2,999 publish no rating, and the best-rated Nike on the shelf carries 30. For a technical running shoe where fit varies, that argues for buying a model you have already worn, or trying a pair on in a brand store before ordering.
Prices & codes last verified: 17 September 2026
Every price, MRP, discount badge, rating average and rating count on this page was read on 17 September 2026 from myntra.com's own listing data and tatacliq.com's own search data, as served to a logged-out visitor in India, with nothing bought, no account used and no coupon or bank offer applied on either platform. The Myntra figures are drawn from 47 listings and the Tata CLiQ figures from 38; medians and counts describe those listings on that day and not either platform's full catalogue, and a different query on a different day would return a different set. Rating counts are reported exactly as each platform published them and counting them is not an audit of them: we have not assessed how either company collects, verifies or moderates feedback, and a low count is a limit on what a shopper can learn rather than evidence of anything improper by any platform, brand or seller. Describing Myntra as pooling ratings across a style family and Tata CLiQ as listing colourways separately reports what the listings themselves displayed; both are ordinary catalogue practices and no wrongdoing is alleged or implied. An MRP is the figure a listing displays and we have not verified that any shoe sold at it, so every percentage quoted here is arithmetic over two numbers the seller chose rather than a measured saving; displaying a stated MRP is lawful. Cushioning, grip, materials and fit claims are the sellers' listing text and were not verified - nothing on this page was worn, run in, flexed or weighed, and no listing in either pull published a weight, width or drop. Prices, listings and stock change without notice and can differ at checkout. Zoutons may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page; it does not change what you pay and does not affect what is reported here.
