Best Pair of Shoes Ever

I really love my Peluva Shoes! They are super comfy! A bit awkward wearing them the first time but an absolutely amazing feel after wearing them for a while! Super stylish and people always look surprised when they see them for the first time. I will definitely buy another pair and more pairs of toe socks!

A guy that likes shoes

I have a lot of barefoot shoes. It works with my anatomy of my feet in addition being barefoot growing up I like the feel and support. Your shoes were great. Like the look and feels. A lot of time when I wear “five finger shoes” people give me the looks of unfamiliarity of the shoes. I’m use to the looks from other but your shoes style blends with the environment people don’t notice. Love my pair! Aloha!

Best Brand yet!!!

They're perfectly fitted for my feet. I've tried other brands over the years and they've always cut circulation in my feet. Not these, I've trained Yoga outdoors in them, and resistance trained in the gym with them. No complaints, just compliments. Get yourself a pair.

Interesting concept that surprises me. The shoes are comforting and I believe will assist in my balance progress.

Pretty Happy Overall

Per the suggestions and other's recommendations, I selected 1/2 size larger. They fit pretty well without the socks although large toe rubs against the front while others still have room so perhaps it's my particular feet/toes. The socks tighten the fit but seem to experience some discomfort with 3rd & 4th toes while wearing them together. Overall, pretty happy and will continue to wear them mostly without socks as I'm concerned another 1/2 size larger may be too large.

unbelievable

i purchased for my skeptical husband who has complained of ankle and knee pain consistently for several weeks following walking our big dog. after wearing these shoes ONE TIME, he returned from the walk stunned- he was not in any pain whatsoever. he’s a believer now. thank you.

A+ pair of shoes!

These are probably one of the best pairs of shoes I've ever owned! Wide feet friendly and comfortable to walk in too! Take Peluva's advice and go a half size bigger since they run tad small, but not by much. Ps, the customer service is great too!

Superb !

These are My new running shoes ! I have been wearing other brands of toe shoes for years ... resulting in plantar fasciitis . While I do believe that toe shoes lacking supportive cushioning may work for the gym , I know that the result can be injury when used for running on hard pavement . Enter Peluva ... I was dubious at first , but that all changed when going for My first run . My Peluva give Me the freedom of toe shoes with the supportive cushioning to run on pavement . I am in love !

Size

I like them a lot. I ordered a size 10.5 they fit a bit tight. I’m hopping will be better after they stretch. I’m waiting for the Navy Blue to buy my next pair, but I will order a size 11 this time.

The fit was too tight. I like the design better than the replacement i had to size up to due to being out ofstock in a comfortable size.

love them

great help with balance and with keeping my arthritic toes apart. Since i only can choose one reason for purchasing, I chose cross-fit, even though I don't really know what that means. The ability to spread my toes during aerobics and weight-lifting is a big help, and I can even wear them bike riding. I bought them on the recommendation of the, "Atay Flexi," guy on YouTube.

Peluva Love

I absolutely love my Peluva's, I practically wear them everywhere I go! I went hiking in the woods on the trails for 3 hours last Sunday and they were so comfortable, just like hiking barefoot! I will be making another purchase soon!

I always thought these shoes were weird, but now I prefer them over regular shoes! And I can't forget about the socks, they're super comfortable and breathable!

Comfy and light.

Nice shoe. Good construction quality. Strikes a good balance between protection while walking and ground feel.

Good shoes.

I like these. Comfortable & stay on well. Glad they had a shoe string in stead of a hard pull lock. Hopping to be able to kick a heavy bag. Customer service was very helpfull as the first was 2 size to large. Easy to exchange. Thanks

Arrived, fit and feel as expected

I have been wearing them for a couple weeks. I like how they fit and feel. Appear to be high quality and well made. I look forward to see how long they hold up.

Exactly what I wanted

At 37, I've been a life long running addict due to being involved in long-term high intensity grappling sports and needing to improve my cardio/conditioning. I'm losing count of how many injuries, bouts of down-time from training, and years of chronic tension in my legs. I bought these shoes 2 weeks ago and am already noticing a positive difference in hiking than I did wearing conventional shoes, and I wear them for heavy leg press style lifts, such as squats. I soon plan on grass sprinting after a couple more weeks of training with them. Couldn't be happier, one of my better purchase choices in years.
