in toe

I had an accident and broke all the bones in my foot a few years ago. Still active in my mid 60's, A daily regimen of compression socks and steel toe boots have left my toes pretty mashed together and working together instead of independent. The first couple of days wearing these it was weird, and my toes didn't want to go in the right hole. Day three, slipped my feet right in and went on my first walk wearing these, mile and a half without socks. I just knew my feet were going to need icing when I got home. I could feel things in my feet working, my big toe and small toe were gripping and moving for more support. I was balancing on curbs with more foot control. It really is like walking barefoot without the pain of stepping on stuff. So far so good.

What an incredible story, thank you for sharing. It’s amazing to hear how your toes are reawakening and your balance is improving. We’re honored Peluvas are part of your recovery journey!

Very comfortable

I like the toe slots to keep my toes straight, my baby to seems to go under the one next to it with tailor bunions. I like the idea of my feet getting stronger.

That’s exactly what we love to hear, supporting natural alignment and stronger feet. Glad the toe slots are working well for you!

Feet cramps no more!

My feet, along with my toes, use to cramp on me everyday. Especially at night as soon as I took off my shoes or elevated my feet. For years I tried different remedies to prevent the excruciating cramping that occurred. I tried different ratios of electrolytes, insoles for my shoes, topical creams but nothing every worked. I assumed the cramping was somehow related to my autoimmune disease. However, within a week of wearing my Peluva's I have not had a single instance of foot cramping! Utterly amazing!! It has now been over a month and I have not experienced one day of foot cramping. I am extremely active and very fit, so you can imagine how much of a struggle feet cramping can be on your psyche. I now own several pairs of Peluvas ... as does my wife and daughter! Thank you! God Bless and Semper Fidelis, Dr. Josh Barrett, DSL

Good shoe

I like these to work out in andnto wear at work. They do run a little smaller than the other two different styles I have which are the golf shoes and the white work out shoe.

Moji E.· September 12, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the feedback, Moji! Glad you’re enjoying them overall. And yes, our Strand Sport Mesh does tend to run a bit small, so going up a half or full size is a smart move. Appreciate your support!

Journey to Fit

After a couple of days wearing the Peluva’s, the new experience of wearing five articulated toe shoes has been a good one. A challenge at first to get on, practice helps.😁 The biggest challenge has been 2 returns to get the sizing right. Peluva has an efficient and easy return process. I have a wide foot, so maybe that is the problem, but I needed to size up from my normal 9.5 to 11 to get a comfortable fit. I like the idea of full utilization of all my toes and hope this can help with some foot problems. I would recommend you give Peluva shoes a try.

Dan M.· September 12, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks so much for sharing, Dan! We really appreciate your persistence and patience through the sizing process, it definitely takes a little trial and error, especially with a wide foot. We’re glad you stuck with it and are now enjoying the fit and feel of your Peluvas. Here’s to full toe activation and happy, healthy feet!

Verified Buyer

I'm loving them so far.

I'm loving them so far. I wear them every day for about 4-6 hours while I work from home. I wish I had gotten them about a size larger so I could wear them more easily with socks. But I definitely think they're a great purchase.

Marcus G.· September 11, 2025

Response from Peluva

Awesome to hear you’re enjoying them for everyday wear! If you ever want to rock them with socks, sizing up is definitely the way to go.

Verified Buyer

If you love being barefoot, you need these shoes!

Discomfort in my feet and through my legs from my size 15 being crammed in steel toes…GONE! I wish I could wear these all day, but for after business hours and any time at the gym, these are my go to.

That’s what we love to hear! Nothing better than finding relief and freedom for your feet, glad the Strand Sport Mesh is your go-to after hours and at the gym.

Love my new foot health because of peluvas!

I am a 68 year old man getting ready to walk across the USA in peluvas! My bunion is not a problem anymore after wearing my peluvas for almost 2 years. Peluvas should sponsor me on my walk.

Andy S.· September 11, 2025

Response from Peluva

Incredible, Andy! Walking across the USA in Peluvas is legendary-level foot health dedication 🙌 We’re thrilled to hear they’ve helped with your bunion, thank you for taking us on that journey with you!

More comfortable after time

I think having the right socks helps. Being barefoot in the shoe or having thinner socks helps in the beginning. I would suggest you go over by a half size then your normal shoe size. They’re great to workout in.

That’s exactly the barefoot feel we’re going for, Lyle! Glad you’re enjoying the lightness and freedom.

Verified Buyer

In theory, great

Wearing these toe shoes has helped with waking back up my fourth and littlest toes on my right foot, which may have sort of gone offline since a medial knee injury a few years ago where I developed a new holding pattern in my right leg. I will probably wear the shoes more next summer. The weather is becoming a bit cold for them already. These are my first barefoot shoes so I can’t compare them to other barefoot brands. The fit is great (snug) and I think there is real benefit to toe strengthening and dexterity, so I don’t want to do anyone a disservice by reviewing too negatively. I’m just not sure that they’re worth the money when compared against traditional shoes, because I don’t think there’s actually much that you can do in them. There’s not much I can do in mine, at least. I wanted to be able to use them while at work (massage therapy) for better grounding, but the strange thick carpet we have there proved pretty incompatible with these shoes for getting good leverage, so that is a bummer. I’m only reviewing because peluva have emailed me three or four times now asking me to; So, okay then, here’s my experience. I wouldn’t do it again, probably (purchase $140 barefoot shoes) as much as I wish that they could resolve or reverse the physiological ills that modern living and footwear have rendered upon our bodies and our feet. Their potential for feeling beneficial differs dramatically depending on the flooring of the building or place that you’re in. They may continue to be a piece of the puzzle in deterring / slowing decay, but decay’s ravenous appetite will eventually glut itself on us all no matter whether we wiggle our toes daily or not. Hug your loved ones lol

Size, fit , quality and performance has exceeded expectations.

That’s what we love to hear, so glad they’ve exceeded expectations across the board!

Verified Buyer

Great s always and comfortable. Suggest more specific and less generic description of why materials were used.

It seemed like a lot of your descriptions are kind of generic and alike for the different styles. It would be nice to know why in this case you chose the mesh and what it does for performance, comfort, etc.… More specific information would be helpful in the decision process.

Thanks, Martin! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the comfort of your Strands, and we really appreciate your feedback on the descriptions, it’s super helpful.

Strand Sports Mesh

Great feel to the shoe and an everyday basis. I had a rough time get my size correct as the sizing app was not close to my needed size. I find the shoes required a larger size than all other shoes I have purchased. The customer support was excellent and I went through my sizing dilemma.
