Love the look

I bought two pair for my boys for their birthdays. They love them so far. I want to buy myself a pair but am waiting to see if they continue to love them

Love what they've done for me

I absolutely love these shoes and how much they have helped me. Years ago I was injured in a mining accident when the roof collapsed, three of us were buried. The injury to my back caused a permanent disability and I've had pain everyday since. A few weeks after I started wearing these shoes I noticed the pain was less. I switched back to my regular footwear for a few days and the pain came back until I switched back to Peluva. I've noticed that I have better balance and a better feel for obstacles and uneven terrain. I do a lot of hiking and I've been very impressed with how well they perform and how well they are holding up. I've put a lot of miles on them and there is still no visible wear to the sole or any other part of the shoe. They are a great shoe I highly recommend them. And I'm very thankful for the reduced pain in my back and hips!!

great service

These were a gift. I bought the wrong size, so re-orderedd the correct size. They arrived quickly and they fit. He started wearing them that day. Thank you.

Thanks, Paula! So happy the reorder worked out and the shoes fit right away. Glad he started enjoying them right away.

Finally!

I have wanted a pair of Peluvas for awhile now and finally went for it. I prefer being barefoot and feel cramped by traditional shoes, so I am loving the feel of Peluvas. I previously had heel pain when wearing sneakers, and I don't experience any pain in the Peluvas. I haven't had much trouble with getting them on, I just have to check and feel that my pinky toe is in the right spot. I picked this trail shoe to be worn primarily for workouts, but I have also worn them to work in a school building and on wlks around my neighborhood. So far, they have been great for all of those things. I am already planning to buy a second pair in a different style so the ATR can be just for fitness and the second pair can be for work/leisure. I would love to only wear toe shoes and hope to be able to invest in more in the future. I initially bought an 11, as I tend to wear a 10.5, but the 11 was huge. Based on the amount of space I had, I ended up going with a 10 and that worked perfectly. I realized that my usual sneaker size of 10.5 may actually be a bit big to compensate for me wanting more room for my toes. For me, the Peluvas then are true to size as my feet are likely a 10 and that is what fits well. Returning was straightforward and the shipping was fairly quick. I am looking forward to the ways I anticipate these shoes helping with my balance and performance in the gym.

Response from Peluva

Thanks, Emmett! Glad you finally took the leap and that the Peluvas are helping with comfort and pain relief. Sounds like you found your fit with the right size. Enjoy planning your next pair!

He loves them

Got these for my son for Christmas and he absolutely loves them! The only “issue” is the toe parts are a little long so his toes don’t go all the way in. But he doesn’t care, he wears them to work every day and loves them!

Nicole G.· January 5, 2026

Response from Peluva

Awesome to hear your son loves them, Nicole! Thanks for the heads-up about the toe length - we’re glad he’s still rocking them daily.

Great gift!

My husband loves them! I am just sad I didn't get a pair for myself.

At first my toes felt uncomfortable but after a while of walking around my feet felt good and i felt my calves actually working!

Amazing Shoe Concept

They took some getting used to, but after a couple days of constant wear I can tell that my posture is better and gait is smoother.

James M.· December 31, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks, James. We’re glad to hear the shoes helped improve your posture and gait. It’s great that a little break-in time paid off!

Verified Buyer

First time purchase, very happy

I've owned this type of shoe before but first time for Peluva. No break-in required for me but note the suggestion to order slightly larger than your normal size. I was glad I did. I like the more traditional sneaker styling as well.

Patrick O.· December 31, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks, Patrick! Great call on sizing up. We’re happy to hear they fit well and no break-in was needed.

Great shoes

I recommend these over Hoka's anyday. I would like to try the socks though. I bought two pair recently but no socks came with them.

Brian B.· December 30, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks, Brian. Glad you prefer these over your Hoka shoes and hope you find socks that match your needs.

Verified Buyer

Uncomfortable at first but give it time

When I first put them on I thought I had purchased a size too small. Everything I read on the site said they are supposed to fit “like a glove.” After about three days, they felt good. I don’t know if it’s placebo effect or not, my feet and ankles feel more stable just after a week.

David C.· December 30, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thank you, David. We are glad the fit improved after a few days of wear and that you feel more stable in them.

Verified Buyer

As comfortable as advertised

The fit is exactly as I expected from the size of my regular shoes. The comfort is excellent even before an adjustment period. The traction is just right. The 'laces' are both as tight and as flexible as needed to keep the shoes snug at all times. I use these as my everyday shoes in a walking-heavy city and haven't suffered any of the foot fatigue I used to attribute to walking too much when in reality it was my old shoes causing it (pretty nice ones too, in one of the major brands regaled for their comfort). Highly recommend for anyone on the fence about minimalist shoes.

Patch H.· December 30, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thank you, Patch. Great to hear the shoes fit as expected and feel comfortable with traction and support for walking.

Excellent quality and a perfect fit. These are must have for not only your foot health and strength, but you’re overall body health and strength.

Like a glove

The first ones I purchased was to see if I would like them, I bought the Zen and fell in love. These fit like a glove, very comfortable and good for any surface rocky or smooth. Would recommend these and the Zen.

Thank you! Fantastic to hear they’re fitting like a glove and working great on different surfaces.
