I had been following this brand for almost a year before purchasing. I tried other toe shoes and while they encouraged movement I encountered pain from trying to walk my dogs on trails and not enough cushioning on harder surfaces. These shoes solved all that. They have a minimal sole that allows movement but are a step above barefoot. Great for walking my dogs on trails and for the stall mats in my gym or just running errands. Most of all I’ve been struggling to find a great shoe for pickleball. I needed a bit of heel cushioning and a stable shoe for lateral movement. These are perfect. I loved my black camo so much I purchased the white which is a slightly different material and even better looking in person than the photos.

I love the shoes, but next time, i will get half a bigger size. Little tight for someone who wears a size 8.

Great shoes!
No matter where I go I’ll throw these on, takes a minute to get my toes in, I like being barefoot but society says no shoes no service so this is a good compromise.
Response from Peluva
Thanks, Craigg! We're glad Peluvas are your go-to. Love the barefoot compromise. Appreciate your support!

I love these shoes!
The men’s strand lightweight trainer is my third pair of Peluvas. I have the ATM’s and I love the mesh. They are very comfortable. These light weight trainers are so soft and comfortable, a little warmer, like wearing slippers… almost. Just a very comfortable pair of unconventional sneakers.
Response from Peluva

I love these shoes!!!
I absolutely love these shoes!! They are so comfortable & lightweight! I have been wearing for 1 month so far and wearing no socks as well. Just barefoot; my feet feel so energized & my back feels so much better! No more lower back pain! I’m more flexible & definitely makes a difference in your workouts!! I would totally recommend these shoes 🖤🦾

Turns Off Moton's Neroma
I love these so far. I've gone on long walks without trigerimg at the nerve between my 3rd and 4th toes. I'm also working on balance in the socks or shoes and socks. My first pair went right back because they were too small at M9.5. 10.5 fits great. I've read from another review if your 2nd toe is longest you might need a full size larger.
Response from Peluva
Thanks for sharing, Waylin! We're so glad the shoes are helping with your Morton’s neuroma and balance. Great tip on sizing too, especially for those with a longer second toe. Appreciate your feedback and support!

So far so good
I'm still getting used to them, but so far I like them. Great initial quality, and the sizing tool worked great for me. I've so far been wearing with no socks and that has been working well. Not sure if I could fit any 5-toe socks in these, maybe after they break in a bit more.
Response from Peluva
Thanks, Kevin! We're glad the sizing tool worked well and that you're enjoying the shoes so far. Toe socks can be a tight fit initially, but they tend to work better as the shoes break in. Appreciate your feedback!

Very light and comfortable
It is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes that I have had, in my case I had to order half size more, they are a little tricky to insert your toes but after a bit you get used to it.
Response from Peluva
Thanks for the feedback, Randy! We're glad you're enjoying the comfort. It's totally normal for the toe fit to take a little getting used to. Happy to hear it's working out well for you!

Flexible and comfortable
Great customer service. Helped me exchange to 1/2 size larger and a more flexible shoe. Feels much better. Very happy :)
Response from Peluva
Thanks for the kind words, David! We’re glad the exchange process went smoothly and that the new size and flexibility feel even better. We’re happy you’re enjoying your Peluvas!

Experienced barefoot shoe wearer, 1st time peluva wearer.
I have been wearing various barefoot shoe brands for several years almost exclusively. I have also been wearing toe speakers at night and sometimes at home during the day. I have very wide feet and decades of squished toes. My feet while being very wide have a steep angle from my big toe to my pinkie toe. My first few times wearing the peluvas required multiple attempts to get them on correctly. All my toes want to seat one toe over. After a week I am now able to put them on correctly the first time. I can comfortably wear them all day and they are now my first choice on non work days. I plan to start trying them at work next week. I am on my feet all day at work. I currently wear my Whittington to work but I am confident the peluvas will become my goto shoe. I plan to order a 2nd pair, probably the dessert boot.
I was worried my pinkie would not reach the toe slot but I haven't noticed a problem.
I believe these shoes have made more progress in spreading my toes in two weeks than my toes spreaders did in two years. I will continue to wear both.
Response from Peluva
Thanks for the fantastic and detailed feedback, Brian! It’s great to hear how quickly you adjusted to the Strand Lightweight Trainers and that they’re already making a noticeable difference in your toe alignment and comfort. We’re excited for you to keep progressing and hope they become your go-to work shoes too!

They feel great on my feet, but it took a few weeks for my toes to adjust to the separation.

Awesome
Let me just say that this product is a life changer. I've only had it for about a week and I just broke into them a few days ago.
All I could say Is you'll have to try them to experience this for yourself 😉
Recently I just got over a major chronic pains throughout my legs and feet. This all started from another brand of shoes that I read online with outstanding reviews. And satisfactory guarantees blah blah blah gimmicks. Like so many, I fell for the reviews and I've thought the product would be a great addition to my workouts. However I started breaking into these shoes and long story short I ended up hurting myself with this product. I couldn't even walk by the end of a work day" and would have to stay off my feet most of the time it was awful.😞
But that's all changed when I was told by a friend overseas that I should try the Peluvas! So, that's what I did! And now I Am happy to say I will never go back to those shoes again.
This Is all I need to keep me balanced my peluvas's And like I said I'm starting to feel the difference and the pain is almost nearly gone. 💯 I'm a fan. And I'm sure you will be too once you get your first pair today. 👍
