Good company

Thanks to peluva for exchanging shoes as I stepped up 44 to 44.5 to 45 which fit.

Love my Peluvas

Just got my White Strand Peluvas and I love them. Sizing was perfect based on what I normally get for my running shoes. A few days in and my feet are waking up to more flexibility and freedom. Thanks for building an awesome product and congrats to the team!

Highly recommend

Any time I find a product that I really love, I have a tendency to hoard more of it. After putting my first pair of these through the ringer (weight training, sled pushes, pickleball, trail hikes) I knew I had to get a second pair in a different color. So here we are...they just work. Super comfortable and stable. Really does feel like I am walking around barefoot, just without all the pebbles digging into the soles of my feet. Highly recommend.

Fantastic shoes

Fantastic shoes. Have used them for lifting, sprints, hiking, and even some easy short runs for three months over a variety of surfaces. No complaints at all. Fit true to size for me. Probably the most comfortable minimalist shoes I've tried, and I've tried dozens.

I have been waiting for a minimalist shoe like this!

I have been waiting to review this until I broke them in for awhile as I wanted to give an honest review. Im glad I did because this has become my favorite pair of minimalist shoe i have ever worn. Super simple yet functional for my foot. I like that i can also wear them out to stores with my family without getting weird looks. My feet have never felt better. Definitely getting a few more pairs soon!

Love these shoes. ...

Love these shoes. Very comfortable and it's like you aren't wearing anything on you feet. A little cumbersome at first getting your toes aligned, but quickly adapted after a day or so. They slip right on.

My feet now have a get out of jail card

Most people don’t realize that you need to use your toes while being active outside otherwise the stress goes to your calf entirely and cause’s tightness which leads to plantar fasciitis. These shoes are incredibly effective at allowing you to use your entire foot as you walk or run. It’s also the only shoe we approve of for those using The CastleFlexx to stretch.

Unbelievable comfort and style!...

Unbelievable comfort and style! Was able to wear these shoes several hours the first day and a full day by the third day. These have a much better insole and comfortable heel support that typical shoes of this style. I also really love the soft upper and the great support of the outer sole. It is great to be on the way to better foot health with these. See my review on the no-show socks as well-they're terrific and stay on without dropping off the heel and bunching up inside the shoe. Highly recommend, they're great on all terrain!

The Best Natural Footwear for Newbies

My 5 year search for the perfect shoe is over--I love your Strand shoes. Thank you for making a shoe that is wide enough to accommodate a foot wider than average with toes that are wide enough to support deformities caused by inappropriate footwear! The footbed is soft enough and the sole thick enough to walk on concrete making this shoe perfect for people who are new to wearing natural footwear.

Comfy with thinner sole than running shoe

Nice fit and toe spread. Not a super thick sole but that’s the point I think.

Love these!

I love how great these shoes feel...super comfortable upper, amazing ground feel...however, just be careful with sizing and don't rush to exchange for a larger size if they feel too small/tight. You want them to be snug. I am a Men's 10 in most shoes...have been wearing Vivobarefoot daily for 5+ years...so ordered a 10. At first they felt too small since my big toe was pressing against the front of its pocket, but after wearing for a few days to the gym, pickleball courts, light hiking, etc, I realized that in toe shoes you really do want a glove-like fit since otherwise your toes could slip out of their pockets. But man, the overall feel is just great. Highly recommend! Nitpicks: -The laces are way too long -Would like an extra eyelet so I can heel lock the laces

Hear the pros and the cons of my news purchase

Here are the cons: the shoelaces provided are far too long & the actual shoe itself does not fit tight enough around the middle of my foot, but that might be because I don't wear socks with them. The pros: I like the design of the shoe, especially the soul and the tread as they're both just enough prescription and support. The upper mesh is also unique though I have my hesitations and it lasting for a long time as I do wear these barefoot with those socks and sweat quite a bit when working out.

Great overall

Fit is perfect. I'm typically 10.5 or 11. 11 is great fit here. Nice balance of minimal, but with some cushion.

My new Peluva shoes are incredibly comfortable

My new Peluva shoes are the most comfortable shoes I currently own. Since I am an orthopedic surgeon, I have many patients that would benefit from these shoes. They are not only comfortable, but they strengthen my feet and support my posture. I will highly recommend these shoes to my patients and friends.

Excellent comfort

Most comfortable shoe I’ve ever owned. Ordered a 2nd pair to have an “at work” pair with scrubs and the “walking the dog” pair
