These shoes feel like walking barefoot—each toe moves freely, and that really reduces foot fatigue. Super light, breathable, and comfortable for 5–6 hours. Not the best for rocky hikes (your feet will feel it), but perfect for everyday wear. I prefer them over regular sneakers. Bonus: I’ve had people do double takes thinking I’m barefoot—yep, they’re that natural-looking! 😄

I've been thru hundreds of "comfy, barefoot" shoes in the past so I was a little skeptical of these before purchase. After wearing them in all my life's different situations I'm absolutely in love with them. They are great on concrete and amazing on gravel paths, not to hot to wear on hot days. Love that they are leather inside and out making them perfect to wear without socks if needed. Can always trust that I can put them on when my feet are hurting and know they will help the issue even on hard smooth concrete at work.
Very comfortable worth every penny
These are some amazing shoes. While there was a small technical hiccup that was resolved by the amazing Joy, thank you again for your assistance, they have arrived! I love how easily my toes slip into the toe slots to how nice they feel. I am 10/10 head over heels in full enjoyment of these beautiful wanderers!!! They look to be of good quality and that they will last quite a bit. I can wait to see the storys they'll oneday tell!
Thank you for making such a great shoe.
PELUVA = AMAZING!!!!!!!! They are like wearing toe socks, but with added protection and Style. The Name says it All…. “Foot Glove” once You get the Correct size…. WOW!!!…. A perfect FIT!!!! 💜🦶🦶💜 I’m normally 9 1/2-10, I needed a size 11 because I wear toe socks. Also, Customer Service is EXCELLENT!!!! My only other experience was with Vibram Five Fingers, not the worst but Definitely not as Comfortable, for me Wearing Peluva Toe Shoes are like walking on a cloud ☁️ I’ll Definitely try other Models and Recommend PELUVA to Anyone!!!!

Ok so I love these a lot, they do run a little bigger than the regular sneakers, so I had to return my initial pair and get half a size down, but after that, they were a perfect fit!! I now have gym Peluvas, and going out Peluvas!! My only wish is that there were a snow friendly Peluva :P
Really light and feels great!
I got my Peluva boots size 10.5 and will be getting more from Peluva I've had them for two days now and I'm not exaggerating when I say I probably could sleep in them lol I will say that buyers may want to size up the next pair I get I'm going for a size 11 just for me and my preference I believe the Peluva shoes are true to size for the most part and I'd be honored to be a sponsor and work with this company their product is very comfortable beyond great quality and honestly YOU'RE winning with the price point they set at Peluva I'm a beyond satisfied customer Love you Peluva 💯
Very comfortable and freeing. Took only a few days wear to feel natural.
I love the way these look, I love how they feel and I love the construction. This is very nice! My only complaint is that it is a bit difficult to get the toes into the toe boxes at the same time that the heel is clearing the collar.
The good thing about these shoes is that the more you wear them, the more fitted they will become to your feet. Also, as they are esthetically designed, people are attracted to them. I love wearing these super comfortable shoes!
This has the same midsole as my other Peluva shoes, so they were easy to adjust to. I like the higher top to keep road stuff out of my shoe. I've not had a chance to use these on a real trail (too much snow this time of year) but I think they will be nice for walking on sand as long as it's dry sand! I'm trying to wear my Peluva shoes every day, and I can feel my feet getting stronger, and my balance getting better. I'm becoming very attached to my Peluva's but my other shoes are feeling the lack of attention. I'm hoping someday Peluva will have a nice option for trail hiking where there is mud or other non dry conditions. Clearly hiking on snow...even when dry...is not optimal, so I got a pair of zero drop hiking boots to test out. Sometimes people see my "odd" shoes and the typical reaction is a smile and sometime a positive word about them.
Much lighter material than conventional Desert Boot. Good for limited purpose. Too light material for my daily use in all kinds of weather conditions.
I love, love, love these shoes so comfortable perfect fit -- I just wish (keeping my fingers crossed 😊) that you would think about making them in black suede/leather.
Glad I bought them a half-size bigger than my Strands so I can fit some socks in there. That will ensure I can also walk in them through the fall and winter.
I went hiking in them, and they had great traction on the rocks and loose gravel. Also by the end of the hike, my feet didn't feel tired like they often do in hiking boots.
