I haven't had them long enough to see how well they hold up but, so far I'm pretty satisfied. My one complaint, and this is true of all of the toe shoes I have found, is that they are only made for one type of foot shape. I have "Greek feet," so my middle toes get a little scrunched, and my pinky toes don't even make it into the toe slot. I fully understand that it would be difficult to have shapes that fit every conceivable foot shape. But... there are 4 main foot shapes that are WELL documented and would accommodate most of the world. I don't see why they can't have options for each of those 4 foot types.

They fit pretty good some of the toes are a little long like the pinky toe slot kinda having a hard time keeping it in the slot but my big toe is just the right size it i went and small I would be afraid it would be to small but other than that I am enjoying them taking some getting used to but enjoying them none the less got them for doing daily trail walking and stretching.

New strength
These shoes are extremely comfortable and I can feel my feet and legs getting stronger as I acclimate myself to the new feel of stronger feet.
Response from Peluva
Love hearing that, Channing! It’s awesome to know you’re feeling stronger already, keep going!

Great shoe!
I have enjoyed the first three weeks with this shoe. I did buy three pairs of socks with the shoes and this helped with comfort level. The shoes are great for people with wide feet and my toes are much more flexible already. I would recommend these to anyone. I use them for chores and I walk 10 K to 15 K steps a day. They are holding up nicely and the glove-tight fit is Nice when walking over mixed terrain. Have fun and enjoy these shoes!

Awsome shoes
Very comfortable to walk around in and train at the gym wish the blue would come in my size but hopefully soon other than that I love my Paluvas

2nd pair of peluva shoes. Love them.
Love these shoes. Only shoes that don't make my feet hurt.
Response from Peluva
Thanks for your continued support, Jason! We’re so glad your second pair is just as comfortable and helpful for your feet. It’s great to hear they’re easing your discomfort.

Love them
Had to get mens due to my big feet but slowly getting use to them the more I wear them the more I like them the only issue is my pinky toe is so small it barely goes in rest of them fit pretty well
Response from Peluva
We’re so glad you’re enjoying your Peluvas, Kimberly! It’s totally normal for the pinky toe to take a bit of adjusting, many customers experience the same. Thanks for sticking with them and for your great feedback.

The most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.
These shoes are so comfortable to the point I don't want to take them off. Waking in grass in these reminds me of being a kid walking with no shoes on. The engineering that created that ability is amazing. I highly recommend. I wear a 12.5 in normal shoes and boots and in this shoe a 13 fit perfect along with the XL socks.
Response from Peluva
We’re thrilled to hear this, what a fantastic review! That “barefoot on grass” feeling is exactly what we aim for, and we’re so glad the sizing worked out perfectly with the XL socks. Thanks for sharing your experience!

They are made for generic feet. Not a great fit. Big toe touches but my pinky toe barley goes in the slot. . still like the shoes but better mesurements need to be taken if they are to be a perfect or atleast close to perfect fit.

The best shoes I've ever owned
These are exactly what I was looking for. I have 14 - 4e width feet and I have always struggled to find shoes wide enough. The shape is also perfect for my feet. They seem a bit thicker and more durable than the vibram v-trains. I love that they look a bit more like normal shoes. I will definitely be buying more peluvas. Very impressed with the quality and design.

Love hearing this, Cody! Our goal is to give your feet the space and support they need, so it’s great to know they’re working well for you. Thanks for the awesome feedback!

Love my new shoes!
I got my shoes and they were a little tight to begin with. Reading the information they said they would stretch.. unfortunately I have one toe that sticks out farther than the other one. I normally wear a size 11. I ordered an 11 1/2 because I scanned my feet and that’s what it told me to get.. I had to return my first pair because of my toe lol! The return process was simple easy and there were no questions asked. I was very impressed with the service. I have a set of size 12 coming my way. I wear socks with mine. I highly recommend going up one full size. Thank you for honoring your commitment Peluva! When I’m ready, I will buy another pair!
Response from Peluva
Scott, we’re so glad to hear about your great experience and how smoothly everything went. Sounds like you handled the toe situation like a pro and nailed the sizing adjustment. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to get that size 12 pair to you!

Corrected the beginnings on a Bunion
Bought the shoes after a pair of custom boots were made to narrow and after two days of walking felt the achi8 need to stretch the foot and felt what would be a knuckle pop high in my foot. I suddenly take my shoe off and feel that dislocated tarsal has gone down.
Oh and my toes do feel cooler.
I will suggest making the tounge shorter as it gave me an abrasion but resolved by folding in and up.
Response from Peluva
Jedi, that’s an incredible result! We’re so glad the shoes helped relieve pressure and made such a noticeable difference. Great tip on the tongue too, and thanks for sharing it.

I love my shoes
They are good for my balance and am glad i got them i feel like it has helped my toe spread by a little but im sure it will get better after all i have been wearing normal shoes for most of my life
Response from Peluva
Xanthus, love hearing that your balance and toe splay are already improving! It really does take time, especially after years in traditional shoes, but you’re on the right path.

Love these shoes!
My feet have found freedom! I’m still adjusting but being able to feel the benefits already. I’m already deciding on which style my second pair is going to be. If only you had cowboy boots! Although getting my feet in those might be tough. I work on a ranch and could put those to use!
Response from Peluva
Donald, we love that your feet have found their freedom, sounds like you’re getting the full Peluva experience! Cowboy boots with toe slots? Now that would be a wild ride.

I bought them to workout in only but I now where them everywhere for every occasion definitely will buy another pair when this pair starts wearing down.

Really great shoes
These shoes are comfortable i used them all day. Work great for my workouts and running

Awesome to hear, Eric! Glad the Strand ATRs are holding up strong for both workouts and all-day wear, exactly what they’re built for.

Great shoes
I love these shoes. These seem to run a little smaller. I wish I had gone a full size up as my left foot appears to be a little bigger. (which it seems is common and the app scans the right)
But they are breaking in nicely!
Deciding on what to get for a 3rd pair for running errands etc...
Response from Peluva
Tim, glad you’re enjoying the ATRs and that they’re starting to break in well! Totally normal for one foot to need a bit more space, our team can help with sizing anytime.

Shoe review
Just like the goofy socks that go with these, it takes a little while to get used to the feeling of wearing foot gloves. After that, these are great and quite comfortable. It takes me a few tries to get each toe into the proper slot, but I assume that will get easier over time too.
Response from Peluva
Totally get it, there’s definitely a bit of a learning curve with five-toe shoes, but glad to hear they’re feeling great once on. It does get easier with time, thanks for sticking with it!
Verified Buyer
I'm impressed
First, the customer service is absolutely to shelf. I ordered a half size too small and needed to exchange for a bigger size, completely my fault. Not only did Peluva make the exchange easy they went above and beyond.
The fit is perfect and they are very comfortable. There is just enough cushion to absorb impact but not so much that you lose that barefoot feel, it's a real nice balance between the two.
Response from Peluva
Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled the fit and feel are now just right and glad our team could make the exchange smooth for you. Enjoy the trail time ahead!
