I have the original Peluva shoes and like them. I had been hoping for some time you would develop a shoe with a little more lateral support and which can be used for activities such as pickleball, hiking, lateral movement. My new Strand ATR's are exactly what I wanted - love them so far.
I wear a 13, bought a 13. Fit me true to size. For comparison, I wear a 14 in Salomon. Did what I needed to get toes spread for a more natural foot.
I have gone out wareing my men's Strand ATR's several time hikes, runs and more. My feet feel great!
Still rocking the STRANDS with FLAT NO ARCH FEET. Don’t wear them every day but when I do I put on the PELUVA SOCKS and slip on the STRANDS.
Decent pair of shoes so far, after going the recommended size up from regular shoes the toes don’t seem to fill in like I would like them to so I may do a half step smaller next time.
It’s a different feeling having your toes spread, but it feels great! My only concern would be longevity, as I hike a lot, and think a protective layer around the toe box might be a nice addition, but I am speculating they may exceed my expectations as they have otherwise. Definitely recommend. I did order a half size up as well and think the automated suggested size might have been too small.
I cannot believe how awesome these shoes feel. I never knew how much your toes need to move when walking. They spread out and grip the ground, I feel so much more stable and balanced!
I am actually surprised how comfortable these are. I have a high instep so the tongue is pressing into the top of my foot a bit but I will get used to that.
I have had minimalistic shoes before but not one that separated each toe. I use them for exercise purposes or but after a couple work outs I find myself wearing them more often. My feet and toes feel like they have more energy. I'm glad I took a chance on these shoes.
The first pair I had was a little small and uncomfortable because of that. Peluva refunded the cost promptly. The next pair I ordered one size larger and what a difference it made. I wear these all day with no worries about discomfort. My feet and particularly the toes are thanking me as they are now free and able to do what our feet are supposed to do. Conventional shoes have been compressing our feet and toes to the point of creating bunions and many other foot disorders. It’s interesting how we have been using the ill fitting shoes for as long as we have been alive and they just now invented a shoe that fits and functions as a shoe should. It protects our little toes and tender soles but allows total toe/foot function. It is a pleasure to get the toes involved in every step I take.
I've been looking for a shoe that offers a natural, comfortable feel without sacrificing support, and I can confidently say I've found it with the Peluva 5-Toe shoes. From the moment I first put them on, I was impressed. The fit is nothing short of perfect. The individual toe slots feel incredibly natural, allowing my toes to splay and move as they should, which has made a huge difference in my balance and overall foot comfort. It’s a snug yet flexible fit that feels more like a second skin than a shoe. Beyond the fit, the comfort level is truly exceptional. The lightweight design makes you feel as if you’re walking barefoot, but with the necessary cushioning and protection. I’ve worn them for long walks, gym sessions, and even just running errands, and my feet have felt great at the end of the day. There's none of the tightness or pressure that I've experienced with conventional shoes. The entire experience, from ordering to delivery, was seamless. The website was easy to navigate, and finding my size was simple. The checkout process was quick and straightforward. What really impressed me, though, was the speed of the delivery. My shoes arrived even sooner than the estimated date, well-packaged and in perfect condition. Overall, the Peluva 5-Toe shoes have exceeded all my expectations. They are a perfect blend of innovative design, comfort, and functionality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to try a more natural, minimalist footwear option.
Still breaking them in. I don’t wear them everyday, but so far, so good. 👍🏼
I have come accustomed to initial awkward feel of these shoes. My feet are stronger for it, and I have purchased more pairs in different styles. The customer service response was excellent on a recent pair that I questions about.
Have had these for a month now and they fit great, and are very comfortable. I have wide feet (4E) and these are wide enough for me.
I love’em
Awesome shoe and love the freedom for my toes. Will say that the tongue is pretty hard and so low/unmaleable so that it caused cuts/rubbing on the top of my foot. Ive bought longer socks now and im sure with time and wear it will soften.

After a Couple of Styles and a few different sizes I finally got the right STYLE & SIZE. This style has the most Exterior Sole Support for the purpose that it was made. Especially for those like my self that don’t have Arches in Feet this certainly was the right style.
These shoes are like warm buttermilk pancakes on a Sunday morning, steam curling off the griddle of life. They hug and contour to your feet the way that knife and fork hug your palms, like silverware with a crush. A few miles in these bad boys and your Air Force Ones will turn into leftovers cooling on the counter.
It's a bit of a tighter fit compared to the last pair with the same size I bought before but I'm sure I'll get used to it. For now though I'll have to not wear the toe socks and it should be fine. I wasn't exactly paying attention to the shoe lace design so this one was a first for me and so far It's alright. Usually like to tie my shoelaces verses the lazy option but it's neat. Thanks again for another pair of shoes. I'll probably buy another set next year.

Was skeptical about purchasing toe shoes, but these changed my mind. Definitely feel grounded when doing squats , dead lifts lunges and stretching.
I love these shoes. They are super comfortable and much easier to put on that I anticipated. I don't think I want to wear anything else ever again which is a problem.
Took 3 steps in my maiden run with these and instantly removed my cares about looking goofy in toe-shoes. Everyone else is wrong; these are the correct way we would should treating our feet. Knee pain - gone back pain - gone. p.s. - use their app to size your shoes up correctly; I think I went a half-size down and they are *perfect*. It will feel tight to begin with, and you should feel the heels of your feet tighten slightly when lifting your toes all the way up.
