Make sure you get a size bigger than your shoe size... Or else

GREAT SHOES

So far I have only had them for about 2 weeks. At this time the quality is great. The leather is nice and the fitting is as well. I have played airsoft with them on and they work well. Now on sizing I would agree with the others go one size up than what you would normally get.

Glad you’re enjoying the quality, leather, and fit. We also appreciate the sizing tip!

Verified Buyer

WOW...very different from the traditional type shoe...I like it!

For me it is taking some getting used to, especially on my left foot. I have some challenges with getting my toes fully in their slots. Not my big toe but the others, especially the smallest toe. It takes some work adjusting them all in. But once done it it worth it...I really like the feel of these shoes as I am doing my daily errands. I also get comments and questions from people.

Comfy and stylish

My legs don’t hurt on long walk and my feet aren’t cramping anymore. My feet feel so free I forget they’re on by the end of the day. Gotta put some suede protection on them and then they’ll be more than perfect. If you have foot pain, these are the shoes for you if you like style and comfort

So glad they’re helping your legs and feet feel better on long walks!

Great boots

These have a different feel than the Strand ATR, which I expected. The sizing is also a little different. I think I could have gone with my normal size 12 instead of going up a half size. That said, I like them a lot. They're comfortable and not stiff at all. The leather is thin and flexible.

Wore these on date night and out to lunch.

Super comfortable - neutral color - they go well with pants or shorts

Men's Desert boot

This boot/shoe is amazing, literally other than the soles my foot feels naked, like wearing moccasins. I truly would recommend. They look great with pair of khakis, well as great as a 5 toe shoe can look . The only reason I'm not giving this a 5 star is very Petty, I simply cannot keep the dang thing tied. Tie them extra tight and 2m later, laces slinging around. Petty I know. Customer service was great with answering questions on the leather care and they responded very fast. I'm very happy and if you ignore my petty ding they are 5/5.

Love hearing how comfortable they feel, and we’re glad support was helpful. We appreciate the note on the laces.

Great for Work

I have a desk job and, while I wear jeans and sometimes my other Peluvas, these allow me to show I'm making an effort to look business casual instead of wearing the equivalent of sneakers or trainers. They're not, to me, the most comfortable pair I have, but it doesn't detract from the reading I give it as it's not like regular shoes in this style are comfortable to me either :P I fully recommend them if you have just enough flexibility at work to bring your toe-shoe lifestyle to the business world or just looking a little nicer.

Glad they’re working well for business casual wear while keeping the toe-shoe comfort you like.

Dock’s review!

Cool boots, great fit, comfortable, ultra light all while properly splaying my toes! I have worn other toe shoes, but whenever I wear any of my Peluvas they seem to regularly trigger oohs & ahs , complimentary comments, from interested inquiry. I would dig it if you made these boots in a “sand” color. Cheers - Dock

Dock H.· March 4, 2026

Response from Peluva

Dock, love this. So glad the fit, comfort, and toe splay are all hitting the mark. And the sand color suggestion is a great one.

The truth

I love their shoes! It took me a while to save up for them but once I could they did send me a ten percent off so i could get a little off and I truly appreciate the company for that nothing is cheap anymore. Their shoes changed my life! Thank you Peluva! Keep doing what you’re doing please don’t go backwards like many companies do once they get big ! Stay small and stay beautiful! Love yall ❤️

Professional meets comfort

I love them, lightweight, comfortable, and sleek. They look great with khakis, jeans, and dress pants. I need to get the Napa leather pair next !

Thanks, Carlos! So glad you’re enjoying the comfort and versatility.

Perfect casual dress shoe

I now own 5 pairs of Peluvas and I love every single one. These Desert Boots go with so many outfits that I could wear them everyday. I was concerned about how the neck of the boot would feel but the way they designed the shoe laces lower provides more than amble space for dynamic movement. I’m hooked on Peluvas!

Great experience

The shoes did not initially fit. We were glad that we spent the $4 on the ship back option. Everything went smooth and quickly! Very happy with the customer service and product. We will order more from them.

The coolest boot around

Great looking boot. The first time I wore them I had this lady checking them out and asking me about them. She even took pictures of them!!! How cool is that.

Awesome to hear, Matthew! We’re thrilled the fit and comfort met your expectations. Looking forward to helping you with your next pair!

Verified Buyer

Amazing but a little touch would be fantastic

In my views, this is a amazing shoe with style! Comfortable and feels great especially the toes (well it's meant for that haha). If there's a add on where you can zip and unzip the shoe it would be phenomenal

Tommy Y.· December 13, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the great feedback, Tommy! We’re thrilled you love the comfort and style. A zipper feature is an interesting idea, we’ll pass that along to our design team.

Deceptive Size Satisfaction

I wish I could give these shoes 5 stars! I'm reluctant because of the shoe sizing... It seems that they run small, as such, I ordered a half size bigger ( I'm 11.5, so I got a 12 ) as suggested. That didn't work for me. Even barefooted they didn't fit. I knew I would wear them with socks, so I decided to return them for 13's. Ahhhh! That did the trick, while wearing my Peluva socks. The problem though is that I feel like Donald Duck walking around by going up a whole size and a half. Also, after a wearing couple of times, it seems as though they loosing up significantly which makes me think that I should have gotten a 12.5 instead of 13. I wish I could do another return but they have been worn. If only I could have tried them out in store while being guided by a representative who could have given me more insight about my size choice. Other than that, they're awesome!

New shoes

These new shoes feel a bit different I don't feel my toes getting squeezed or swollen it feels free, while I walk i feel different, I walk different not only that I feel more comfortable with these shoes I recommend finding your size before just incase it feels a bit tight on the tip of the toes

Omar G.· October 7, 2025

Response from Peluva

And we’re so happy to hear the Desert Boots are giving your feet that free, natural feel. Great advice on checking size first, that snug toe fit can catch people off guard. Thanks for sharing your experience!
