For years, my toes have been bent wrong. I’ve been walking wrong. It’s called sciatic pain and nerve pain. These shoes were hard to put on for the first five minutes not because there was anything wrong with the shoes, but because there was everything wrong with my feet. I’m five days in right now and I have more comfort on my walk-in stride and step that I’ve had in years. I am 6 foot8 size 14 shoe, 280 pounds. These work for big men too. I can’t wait to take these to Nepal later this year.

Strand shoes
Once you get over the basic look, they are comfortable beyond belief. I do like walking in them and have walked up to 5 miles without a problem.
Response from Peluva
Glad the comfort won you over and that they feel great even during five-mile walks!

BEST SHOES I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!!

Great buy
They were comfortable from day one. I love that I felt stable when walking after coming off a major knee surgery. I wish I could run because I know the experience would be so enjoyable. Happy purchaser here. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Response from Peluva
That’s wonderful to hear, so glad they’ve helped you feel comfortable and stable after knee surgery!

Love em
So far, I really like these shoes. I’ve worn Vibram toes shoes for a couple years but they weren’t sturdy enough for Crossfit workouts so I tried these ones because they had more stability and they are really comfortable. I normally wear a size 13 but I got a 12 1/2 because with toe shoes you wanna go more to the exact measurement and I don’t really need to worry about the width too much which was the right call.
Response from Peluva
Love hearing this, so glad they provide the comfort and stability you need for CrossFit!

Like a Glove
The first couple wearings were a bit awkward, especially because I was hypersensitive to all the toe sensations. Then, as I was able to focus back on non-foot related matters, all the sensations melted away. I started jogging a bit during my walks because I think they helped me find a natural stride. I can even meditate in the shoes and not be aware they are on. On top of that, I think mine are on the smaller side! I'll probably get a pair of the desert boots and a loafer or slip-on when the fates allow. Cheers, y'all!
Response from Peluva
Love hearing this, so glad they now feel like a glove and help you move with a natural stride!

Extremely happy with this footwear
Wearing Peluva footwear has strengthened my feet while alleviating foot pain / plantar fasciitis pain. Because of my foot pain and plantar fasciitis I kept trying various "thicker cushion" shoes, but I was not making much progress with the rehab. After 7 months of this pain, I eventually just decided to go the opposite direction of typical mainstream advice. I ordered a pair of Peluvas and felt significant relief and progress within days of wearing them. After wearing Peluvas for approximately 2 weeks, the foot pain and plantar fasciitis continued to improve and is nearly gone. I have since ordered 2 more pairs of Peluvas. I am extremely happy with my purchases and pleasantly surprised by the quality of Peluva. I have also noticed my feet and calf muscles feel stronger and more stable. I am 50+ years old male that is sold on the benefits of Peluva footwear.
Response from Peluva
That’s incredible to hear! We’re so glad they’ve strengthened your feet and brought significant relief!

Wow just wow.
I can’t say I like another show any more. These are the best thing for my feet ever.

Pretty Good
Takes time for feet to adapt. But, pretty good shoe.

Glad they’re feeling good as your feet adjust!

Really like these shoes
I've been a vibram guy for 10+ years and I've bought 6 pairs. These are way more durable though and I love the extra cushion on the bottom for some plush when you're running on concrete. I recommend ordering the same shoe size as you normally do, I wear 13 and they fit perfectly with or without socks (you're gonna want the socks tho)
Response from Peluva
Love hearing this, so glad you appreciate the durability and extra cushioning!

Truthfully, I was skeptical but these are amazing shoes. I bought another pair as I hope to completely switch to Peluva. After you get over the rather odd toe shoe look (should it really look odd though?), its amazing. I wear them everywhere.
Response from Peluva
Love hearing this, so glad they won you over and are becoming your everyday shoes!

Wish I did it sooner
These shoes are great. I can feel the ground under my feet, and as I’m walking, and I am more balanced. These are the only shoes I will wear to the gym from now on, no more cushion shoes.

So glad they help you feel grounded and balanced at the gym!

Another winning pair of shoes for me! This is my 4th or fifth pair of Peluva. I love them and wear them as my main shoes.

Total comfort
This is my 2nd pair of Peluva's. The first pair are the Aspen boots which I love but wanted something lighter for the warmer months to tried the Strand ATR. They are lighter and breathe and I like them even better than the Aspen's. I move better, stand straighter and feel energized when wearing them. Never going back to conventional footwear.

Love hearing this, so glad they keep you comfortable, energized, and moving naturally!

4th pair of peluvas
Now that I have my size dialed in, it’s easy for me to buy more Pelova’s. For me, the shoes round about a half size smaller. Than my normal size. Cool look to them. Feel pretty damn good in the gym. Haven’t tried them hiking yet.
Response from Peluva
Love hearing this, so glad you found your size and enjoy them at the gym!

So awesome
I have been wearing my Peluva's in the gym for a couple weeks now and I love it! I am used to barbell squatting in bear feet but now I wear the Peluva's and it feels even better. I can't tell you how great they feel when doing sprints on a grass surface. I feel like I could go a 100 miles an hour. I really like grip going up hills and down hills. It feels like I am barefoot. They are a little hard to get on in the beginning. You have to be patient. My toes kept wanting to go into the same toe space. LOL. Overall they are awesome. I have not run long distance on hard surfaces as of yet, but on grass or dirt or sand you will love them!!
Response from Peluva
Love hearing this, so glad they feel natural, grippy, and powerful during your workouts!
