Love the look and feel of the shoes. Well constructed and fit like a glove. Almost feels like there is nothing on my feet. My toes are not crowded together so I have greater stabilty when walking or running. I can feel a difference in my leg and ankle muscles with less strain and fatigue. I enjoy being barefoot and these shoes provide that feel with the added protection of the soles when walking and hiking. I highly recommend these shoes for comfort, health and function.
Shoes are amazing for your feet! Yes you may get weird look in public at first, but after a while wearing them, the benefits of having a stronger, healthier feet outweigh anything else. It’s hard to wear regular shoes after wearing Peluva for a while!
I’ve been very happy with these shoes so far. I wasn’t sure what to think and bought them as kind of an experiment. I’m still getting used to putting them on, but it’s gotten much easier. The first two tries I was ready to send them back after being frustrated. My two smallest toes are curved, which made it a challenge putting these on, but you get used to it and it’s no longer an issue. I mainly use them for weight training but also hiking around the neighborhood. I think they look cool, but my son doesn’t want me to wear them outside of the home.😆 I’ll determine their durability over the next several months. At this point, I definitely buy another pair.

Love wearing my Peluvas!!!
Great shoes, I used them when I’m working out and playing sports. They are great, no discomfort at all. I feel like it has improved my pickleball game.
Feel great. Love them
Great just gotta silence the haters
I have wide feet and normally wear a 13. The size selector said 12.5 but I went with a 13 anyway. I thought they were too small, my toes felt like they were jamming into the end of the shoe so I sent them back and got them in 14. Walked 3 miles in them and they felt perfect. not having a thick sole will take a little getting used to but they felt pretty good for right out of the box. I will be wearing these regularly now.
Best shoes I’ve ever had! Within two weeks my messed up toes and feet corrected themselves. I bought a pair for my whole family and they say the same thing. Peluva shoes are a game changer. I use the lightweight trainer for going to gym and jumping rope and doing tai chi. I needed up buying three more pairs.
This is my first foray into “toed” shoes. I didn’t know if I would like them. I am very happy with the shoes and how they feel. I also think I have noticed some improvement in my foot pain. It’s only been a few weeks so it may be psychological but so far so good. I’m looking forward to more improvement.
Lightweight and fit perfect!
Been following Mark and going primal for a long time but still surprised and amazed at how much of a difference these make. I use them primarily for trail hiking and I can feel new muscles activating up past my knees. Also feel improved balance. Definitely won’t be the last pair I own.
Comfort and style
My younger athlete son loves these. He plays basketball, football and runs track.
Turning 90 tomorrow and loving my new Peluva shoes and socks. Having always gone barefoot where safe, these new additions offer me similar proprioception as going barefoot and great for walking/sprinting as well as general wear. Kudos to Mark and son for developing these products - wishing you a lot of success! Bob McBride
Love the feel. Ordered a 9 when i normally wear 8.5 because if the advice to size up and i wish they were smaller. My pinkie toe is struggling to stay in the proper toe but we’ll see how that changes as my feet heal and realigin.

Just about a week in but i love them. I’m really interested in the long term effects. I have struggled with knee and achilles pain so I hope these shoes will assist in that process. From all the research I’ve done these shoes are the best I can find to get the job done, thanks peluva you’re the best !
I've worn wide toe box minimalist barefoot foot shoes for 2 years but they never had the toes separated. My journey started with trying to strengthen my hyperflexible feet. Because when I got tired, they would become flat. This is way more comfortable and still affords the foot mobility and reliance on muscle that I seek in a shoe. I got the wrong size at first but customer service was great and they replaced them. I wear an 11 in normal shoes and a 10.5 in peluva. If I were buying the shoe for anything other than the gym, I'd probably get an 11 cuz I like my lounge shoes to be looser.
I have been a runner for 30 years, and after training in Peluvas for a week. I will never wear anything but Peluvas moving forward for Running!!!! Love my Peluva’s
