Pinky toe didn't really fit big toe and third toe smashed against top 😐 Maybe need a 13.5 but not sure :thinking: if the Pinky tie would reach then I guess my toes are just different sizes than majority 🤷

Material quality is lower than expected but other than that these shoes are a good purchase for someone getting into 5 finger toe shoes
Didn’t fit. Took 17 days to get here

They are really comfortable and I have been enjoying them. It is true that you should get a half a size larger.
Peluva shoes combine sleek design, comfort, and performance. With ergonomic footbeds, breathable materials, and a true-to-size fit, they excel in both casual wear and workouts. Durable and versatile, these shoes offer good traction and cushioning, justifying their mid-to-high range price. A solid footwear choice.
So I am very fat, like 480lbs. My knee and back were hurting constantly in my new balance sneakers and I like the idea of barefoot shoes, in fact I am pretty much always barefoot when I am not working. I have very wide feet (4E-6E) and most normal shoes don’t even fit my well and leave my feet hurting. So I said screw it, bought a pair of these and decided to start doing laps around my work building. My feet and calves were ungodly sore for the first week, and yet I still prefer these even at my size. My legs and feet feel like they are gaining strength, and I am up to almost 2 miles a day! Plus it feel like I am wearing slippers at work. They may not be for everyone but I can say they are doing wonders for me, and if I can handle them at my size anyone can.
Very good. I had a learning curve to understand how to put my toes in the proper place. But they are comfortable yet sturdy. I hope to keep wearing them for a couple of years.
First pair of “toe shoes” after wearing lots of barefoot. They look good and fit the bill. Recommend if you’re looking for a pair!
Skeptical until I put them on, then it was a different story. No chafing, rubbing or soreness of feet, it was actually quite freeing, like being Barefoot.
So glad for the all black edition. Doesn’t look so dirty after a trail hike!

Very comfortable and easy to get my feet into. I have worn other minimalist five toe shoes before, I have to say I’m liking Peluva very much!
I started out with barefoot shoes. I liked the feel, but found them rough on my feet with zero cushioning. Pelivas are a wonderful blend of barefoot feel with just the right amount of cushioning. Plus, I love the toe separation. A true barefoot feel. I recently added Peluva socks which are also wonderful. I walk two miles on most days. My feet are 85 years old.
Takes some getting used to but overall, cool shoe.
Was skeptical but decided to try them. I am more than pleased. Wish I could wear them all day but due to work safety issues I am not able todo so. There is a transition period to get used to them but once you give them time, they feel like a glove on your feet. Already have 3 pairs…. Would recommend them without hesitation.
Big fan of these trainers!
I like them so much! My feet feel amazing and my balance and hip alignment have improved! Love flexing my toes and widening my foot base for better balance! Thanks!!
I wanted to give them a try as a way to make my feet stronger. I walk at least one hour a day. They are very comfortable. I find my toes (especially the big toes) are much more engaged than with regular shoes. I used Topo shoes and would still recommend them but I have used my Peluvas for my walks since I received them. Very happy so far ( 2 weeks) and they seem durable.
This shoe is fine for walking, but we REALLY need a dedicated running version. I saw videos of the founder who seems to be against running anything over one mile which is very disheartening. (Even the Army PT Test was more than that!) I doubt it will change anything, but after running in the Strand, I would love to see a slightly more breathable version with better grip for road running.
The shoes took about two wears to get in the groove with the way they feel on my feet. Comfortable & helps with foot strength! Will definitely be purchasing again when I wear these ones out.
Amazing. Fit so well. Good purchase.
These are my first pair of Peluvas and toe shoes in general and I'm very pleased with the outcome! It didn't take too long to adjust, they fit perfectly, and I can wear them all day without discomfort. Great shoes indeed!
The all black shoes look great, and after trading for a half size larger than my normal shoes, fit very well.
