5 Stars
Loving it The only issue is that sizing is hard to do and will probably take two tries to get it right. Customer service was great and communicative.

Awesome shoes
These are so comfortable. I am familiar with "barefoot" style shoes. These hit the spot. Additional pairs will be in my future.
Wonderful Shoes
First time with toe shoes, these are really great, allowing me to splay my toes.
Second pair
So far, I like these shoes very much. The all black looks great. I have a white pair size 10.5 that fit perfectly. Unfortunately, when I ordered a black pair the same size, they were too small. I had to send them back and get size 11. I had to pay to ship them back even though I felt that it was not my fault. The 11’s fit very well.
excited for second pair of Peluvas- men's size fitting better than women's
I quickly began using my Pelulvas for gardening, and other outdoor work. I wear my 5-finger wool socks, and feel like my feet are SO much happier after countless hours squatting, climbing, weeding +++. I rinse them with the hose at the end of every work session - and they are dry by next morning. I ordered a second pair - this time a men's shoe, bc my women's 11 was on the tight side. I couldn't be happier with the new fit - and really like the flexible but very supportive sole on these shoes. Have been minimalist shoe-ing for awhile, but during an injury, needed more stiffness & support than the 2 brands I've worn for years. This sole material also holds up very well on the abrasive roads where I frequently walk.
Wow
I’ve only tried it once so far and it worked wonders. I could tell immediately. It made me WANT to take a walk which is not normal for me. It’s better than walking barefoot, because after years of being in shoes my feet are set the wrong way. My peluva shoes put my feet in a position where they can work properly, I can even feel it through my legs and back. It feels like a healthy workout at first but I’m sure my body will adjust. I can tell it’s doing what it’s supposed to do
Wonderful !!
Great !
Great Shoe
Fit great just need to get a half size larger than your normal size. Feel good comfortable as soon as I put them on , felt great while I walked, no break in period needed. Look more stylish than other five toed shoes I have worn in the past. Looking forward to new styles they will offer in the future.
Better than anticipated
First pair of this kind of footware. But if Mark is behind it, I knew it would be amazing. The quality of the materials is so much better than I thought it would be. The comfort of the shoe is also significantly better than I anticipated. I use for working out, walking, and now as my golf shoe! So happy I took the leap.
New to Peluva
I bought these as a gift for my son who is extremely active every day. He was interested in trying them for foot and overall health benefits. He’s had them approximately 10 days and likes them so far. I would have given these five stars, however, they arrived without the free socks that we’re supposed to be included as noted on the FAQ page.
Love these shoes!
These shoes are awesome! They’re already helping my toes straighten out and increasing space between my toes. Have to admit they were a little hard to get all my toes in right at first but after a few times they slid right on ! So comfortable I don’t want to take them off 🙌👍🏻
Comfy and stylish
I bought these shoes because they were thicker and more sturdy than my Five Fingers shoes. I'm delighted--they are comfortable and firm like sneakers that I'm familiar with. The added leather makes the shoe quite impressive.
Toe shoed
Comfortable for casual walking but definitely not made for long distance Sizes run a little small Overall I like the feel and comfort level
Snug but good fit
Just a couple of days of using this shoe. Feeling that it is correcting some subtle intrinsic foot dysfunction by having the toes "spread out" for the 5 toes, shoe/foot feels better at the end of day. Grips the pavement very well. Feels like the right amount of cushion while still keeping this a minimalist shoe. I order my normal size which feels very snug, if I went a half size larger it most likely would have been too big.
Great shoes for everyday and sportswear!! Love to Pickle in them!
I have been wearing Toe shoes for 25+ years. These Peluva Strand shoes are the perfect style, easy to put on, are very comfortable and fit well. I like play pickleball and these are the perfect shoe to play in, as have bunions and cannot wear regular court shoes without pain. Loving my feet in these shoes !!
Amazing!
I cannot begin to describe how good it felt to put these on. It's like having a knot in your back that finally gets released. I have always had larger and wide feet. Regular shoes have caused me numerous ingrown toenails that lead to multiple painful surgeries. I already switched to minimalist shoes, but they don't force your toes to fix themselves into the proper alignment. These shoes do and my balance, coordination, and ability to run long distances have all prospered due to these shoes. I will absolutely buy another pair in the future. Thank you!!
Best Barefoot Shoe!
I wear my Peluva Trainers every single day and I absolutely love them. I’ve tried various brands of barefoot shoes over the years and these are by far my favorite. They are comfortable, functional, provide stable contact with the ground and they look great. I use them mostly for weightlifting, walking my dogs and getting out around town. My anterior tilt has even resolved since I’ve started wearing them. The process of putting them on might take a little bit of getting used to if you’ve never done it before, but now it doesn’t take me any longer than putting on regular shoes. Socks definitely help and I recommend getting those too. This is my go to shoe!
Love 'em!
I've had these shoes for about 8 months now. I went from wearing New Balance and Asics running shoes for every day activities to Peluvas. My feet were used to all the arch support and cushion I got with the other shoes, so there was an adjustment period switching to a minimalist shoe like Peluva. I started off by wearing the Peluvas everywhere and for everything. For the first week or two, my feet would hurt a bit sometimes after walking in them for a while, but it wasn't unbearable, and I also expected this. I run in them, bike in them, hike in them, and they're still going strong. After about 6 months though, I tore a very small hole in the big toe portion of the left foot, probably while hiking and running around. But it hasn't gotten any bigger, so that's a plus. I love how light and airy the shoes are. My feet typically sweat a lot when I wear shoes, but these are the only shoes I've ever worn where my feet don't sweat excessively. Whether I'm standing still or exercising, my feet always come out nice and dry. I thought having something in-between my toes might bother me, it did take me a few days to get used to the feeling, but I don't mind it at all, in fact I prefer for my toes to be separated now. Even with the fact that they got a small hole in them after 6 months, I still give em a 5/5 cause the hole hasn't gotten any bigger, which is very surprising considering I use my Peluvas for everything. I plan on getting a pair of black ones once they're back in stock.
Stylish comfort
Love the fit and function
I enjoy the lightweight trainer
I prefer white and enjoy the very light feeling of this pair. The fit is very good.
Comfortable and supportive.
The only shoe that my flat feet don’t need an insole for. My feet feel so much better and more comfortable AND supported from heel to toe….. Each, and every toe.
A review and a question
I, at first, was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to wear the shoe glove as my family calls them. All my toes are “hammer toes.” I ordered size 9.5. That’s the size I get when I buy regular leather shoes. When I but running shoes, I buy size 10 because I always wear rather thick socks. I was surprised at how close the fit was. My big toe is at the very end of the space provided. At first the shoes did not seem to fit well, but I never gave up on them, and now they fit great. This morning I had an important meeting with my financial advisors. I first put on my Brooks running shoes. I didn’t want to wear them. I changed to my Peluvas and my feet felt great. Now I need your help. When winter comes I’ll need socks. Should I go to size 10?
I love these shoes
I am familiar with Vibram Five Fingers and also have work Inov-8 shoes for minimal soles. These shoes are amazing. I just took them touring in the redwood forests of northern California and the were SO comfortable. Thank you
Incredible!
Love them!
