FREEDOM OF FEET!

Like anything else at first you might be a little skeptical but for some reason I didn’t have that feeling. As soon as I saw my really good friend have a pair of these. I immediately wanted to get a pair. They just look really cool aside from looking really cool they are really comfortable. That’s a huge plus, especially when it comes to training. a lot of my pretty high intensity so to have shoes that are lightweight flat very comfortable is a huge plus. I did come from using vans and converse, but to me they were still heavy and my feet were very confined and Wearing peluvas my feet feel as free as ever. At first, they might be a little uncomfortable to get used to, but once you break them in you are golden. I will promise you that. So don’t hesitate to get a pair get a pair and get to work become a ninja 🤙🏽🥷🏻🦾

Love the ability to foot splay, but sizing requires patience

These shoes are incredibly lightweight and functional. I’ve been wearing them to the gym. I initially ordered the wrong size after using the online virtual size estimate tool, and I was able to exchange it. My second pair arrived very quickly. I find that they are super comfortable, but my big toe still feels slightly squished at the end, or maybe it’s because I haven’t worn shoes that hug one’s feet before. My feet are about 0.5 sizes apart, and as Peluva is a brand that stands for foot functionality and toe health, I hope that they consider implementing a trade-in program or platform to exchange one shoe with another size, or allow special requests to purchase L & R shoes of different sizes (not sure if they do this already). Overall, I’m still impressed with this product and the way it’s allowed me to use all of my foot.

Shoes are enjoyable but fit size needs to be more accurate

I love the shoes but when I was doing the fit size test that you guys recommended it told me to pick 10.5 and it was too tight, I went to 11 and it is still too tight so I am hoping 11.5 will be perfect. Another thing I want to mention is that when you return shoes and when you select the size you want if one isn't available instead of giving you a error it defaults to 8.5 which happened to me which was frustrating since it delayed the process and I had to return it again

Very Comfortable

I have had barefoot shoes in the past and they always felt unusual and not that comfortable. The Peluva's felt great and comfortable from the moment I put them on.

3 Stars

I have three pairs of the Stand. I like them. But this black pair has a rough/hard spot in the inside stitching on the left shoe that is creating a skin irritation on the top of my foot and is uncomfortable to wear. Contracting support to see if they will replace it.

My Peluvas feel AMAZING

No foot pain, no calf tension - can’t imagine walking in anything else !

Great Shoe!

Makes running and walking easier. Makes exercise more doable and lets my feet spread out the way they should be. The right one rubs the back of my ankle, and I wear mole skin to cover it, but other than that, great shoe!

I Like….

I initially thought it would be hard putting these on, but that is not the case. They are comfortable, they are easy to get into and I can feel my arch coming back after having flat feet for one year. I am happy and looking forward to a second pair!!!

Great shoe, sizing is off

The recommendation was to get a half size larger than normal running shoes, but I still went with the normal size Turned out to still be about half a size too big. My two smallest toes slip out when running or walking up a hill, and even walking on level ground there is far too much room for my foot to move around inside. I’m pretty sure there is a slight rise in the heel, in case you’re looking for a completely flat sole. Assuming you can get a good size, they are extremely comfortable (:

Very pleased

I have had the shoes for several weeks now and I am pleased with the look, the comfort, and the quality. I did have to return the first pair and get a larger size, and if I want to wear socks I would probably need even 1/2 size larger. I cannot yet comment on the durability of the shoe but they appear to be well-built.

Looks like a regular shoe but works like a five finger

Been wearing my Peluva’s the last few days - no one has questioned me “about a strange looking shoe”. Was not the case with my old vibrams. And the Peluva feels more comfy. Super happy so far.

Great product

Only challenge is getting all the toes in the correct pocket. But I can actually walk further in these than highly cushioned shoes

As promised

Since I wear a larger women’s shoe I had to pick out a men’s style. I chose these and they are great but wish I had bought 1/2 size larger and then they would have been perfect. I wear them at work and enjoy the ability to use my foot more as it was naturally designed.

Five stars!

They’re great!, takes a while to get used to the fact that every single finger has each own pocket, but once you get the hang of it, you never wanna take em off!now my running shoes feel weird, in fact, every other shoe feels weird haha

Great fit and function

I am a former vibram "5-finger" customer and love the fit and finish of the Peluvas much more. I've used them walking, jogging, lifting, and rowing. They have been great for all activities. 2 minor issues: 1. the laces are WAY too long. I have to double knot of step on the laces all day 2. The online fit calculator was wrong and ordered too small. Peluva was great and had me in a new pair 1 week later, with free shipping back. Excellent!
