Great shoes. Very, Very comfortable. The difference in feel from typical over padded and cramped shoes in amazing. I feel like my body is better aligned, I feel like I am improving my foot control/muscles. Balancing on one foot. Go ahead, try it. It can be surprising. I don't want to go back to conventional shoes. That isn't the journey I thought I was starting, but it is now the journey I am most happily on.
Overall the shoe feels very natural on my feet. The challenge is always so placement when putting the shoes on. I hope that improves over time.
My first couple of workouts and just going out have gone well. These are the first shoes or other toe separator devises that actually work for me plus for workouts I’m a lot more stable with balance.
I like the shoes I got so far but I didn't like the socks
Haven’t worn toe shoes in a few years, I think they fit well but sizing could be better and the laces could be a little shorter as I double knot them they’re still bouncing around and hitting my shins and legs. I’ll use these till they’re worn out and probably try something different
I’ve been a fan of the 5-Finger shoes in the past but they were a little too minimal. These Peluva’s are the right balance allowing your toes to spread will also providing a little protection with low drop. I’ve used them while working out and around the neighborhood and they’ve been great and seem like they will hold up. Highly recommend!
Best training shoes I’ve ever had! I’m a tactical fitness trainer for military, law enforcement, and first responders. For indoor use, nothing beats these shoes! Great product!
I really like these shoes. They felt weird at first. I am used to them now. I enjoy wearing them during workouts, walking, and errand runs. I am very satisfied with the knowledge that I am taking care of my feet when I wear these. When I wear regular shoes at work, I just don't like that my toes are scrunched together. I even tell myself that it will be a few hours before I get home and I will wear my Peluvas. I have a pair of Strands and they are perfect. Just enough shoe so that my feet are protected, but I really feel that I am barefoot when I am wearing them. I wear a size 9 and I ordered the recommended 1/2 size up. The fit was perfect. I will buy the slip-on style next.
I like the shoes. Size up 1/2 as stated
comfortable fit and a nice step up for trail hiking and gym work with the extra cushion of the 5 toe Vibrams.
It only took a week or so to train my toes to go into the right holes, lol.
I wasabit skeptical at first, but after extensive research, I decided to get a pair...my pinky toe on my right foot a a little tough to get in at first, and my middle toe on left foot felt a little funny...however after getting use them them after a day of wearing, I absolutely love them, and dont really want to take them off...ill definitely be getting another pair and recommend them to my friends...I may sign up for the affiliate program to help get the word out, about how comfortable they are...my only complaint is it needsa copper rivet so ill actually be grounded. 🍄Mush love & gratitude from "Tree Isaac"
Hey all, I ran in these puppies the other day and decided to use them in my upcoming 5k. Done with dem Hokas.
Fairly expensive, I don't like to be barefoot in them so you kinda have to get the socks in my opinion. But dang, these are a game changer. I love them. I'm usually an 8 1/2 wide for shoes so I got a size 9 and they fit pretty well. Make sure you leave about a pinky size worth of room is what the one YouTuber influencer recommended and I agree. These are super comfortable. One critique is that I wish the toes were flat with the ground, but instead they kind of arch upward like a lot of shoes do. However this doesn't seem to be that much of a problem when I'm walking as your gate and walk naturally adjust from heel striking to a more natural forefoot striking like when you walk barefoot. These feel sturdy like they're gonna last for years. Also they get wet very easily, like you can't even walk through wet concrete without it's soaking through. The overall I absolutely love these and I recommend everyone try them out.
I have worn vibrams for years. So when I saw a new company with five finger shoes, I had to give them a shot! I use these shoes for the gym, so I like being zero down to the floor. These pair are very much like sneakers. I like that the material is stretchy, but these are ones you have to wear socks with, I did not find bare foot as comfortable.
into their respective places. Other than that they have worked perfectly for my indoor workouts.
These took a little getting used to (seems like it took FOREVER to train my "pinky toes" to fit in their spots) but I am loving these shoes now. I use them to take a hike every day and my feet feel AMAZING after a week or so.
I wish the soles were thinner, but otherwise good dedicated treadmill shoes
I need another pair , and alao turned my mom on . Thabks JG
Great shoes, very comfortable.
I was skeptical about these shoes. But after wearing them on walks, runs, and hikes I am shocked that the tension and pain I usually have is non-existent when I wear these. Would definitely recommend trying them.
Peluva is an awesome minimalist athletic shoes that I absolutely fell in love with. I love the benefits, the comfort that the Peluva shoes offers and they look great on my foot. I wear a women 9.5 but ordered a men size 9 because I like the comfort and feel of a men athletic shoe. The shoe is a quality shoe and made with quality material. Overall it is a dynamic shoe and I plan to purchase again.
These are great! Took awhile to get them on the first few days trying to get each toe where it belongs, but other than that the transition was seamless. I've been walking in them every day and wear them to the gym, and my foot dexterity and posterior chain mobility have already noticeably improved after just a few weeks. Will definitely be getting another pair. The socks are awesome too!
True to its name. Like a glove.
