Love how my feet feel free to move with no restrictions! Very light breathable material! My only gripe is that wear the sole meets the mesh material (white rubber outsole) doesn’t feel great but after you break em in they feel better. Definitely order a full size up.
For years I struggled with finding good toe shoes that would match my needs and be good enough to use on a day to day basis, but Peluva took that problem away. This is my second pair I’ve bought In the last month and I wear them almost all day, everyday. Extremely comfortable, super easy to wash and take care of, incredibly easy to take on and off unlike other brands, and they look amazing. I get compliments in my gym and in the dojo for how minimalist and clean they look, which seems rare for a style of shoe that isn’t exactly common to see yet. One problem I see with these shoes is the bottom of the toe seems to be peeling just slightly. This hasn’t affected performance or comfortability, however I’ve only had them for about two weeks, so it can be an issue down the line. Only thing I do wish every shoe came with was the nice shoe box… yeah you read that right. My first pair came in a shoe box that was basically a pull out drawer that I could stack in my closet. A super convenient and nice addition to these shoes. When the second pair came with a standard shoe box I was a bit disappointed, so I hope they change this in the future so that all shoes come with it! Absolutely love these shoes, 10/10 for me, I will be purchasing a lot more in the future.
After having twenty something vibrams it was hard to make a switch, but I was looking for some different styles and a thicker soul to keep me out of the elements. Peluva offered me exactly that.... some new styles and a more wearable shoe with the same toe first idea. Absolutely love them!
So far I've worn them on walks and I've worked out in them. They feel great and are surprisingly comfortable. I plan on wearing them instead of my slides. I need a second pair.
The shoe was hard to get on at first but after a few days of breaking them in they slide on relatively easy. I am liking the shoe. Comfortable for sure. Thinking of getting rid of all my normal shoes because they all feel terribly uncomfortable in comparison. About two weeks in now of wearing them daily and all is well! Felt a little sore in my calves and the muscles in my feet the first four days or so but that has faded now. Great shoes! Quality seems good so far.
For the first time I feel like I am walking the way we should walk with shoes on.
Just awesome..I have a few neurological medical issues where I walk better barefoot...these help me continue that out side
i plan on getting another pair for crossfit.
Great overall show. Comfortable. A little too loose for very active movement, but fine for walking.
I love my Peluvas and my feet do too! I now own several pairs, and my wife does too, and we wear them all the time. Once your feet feel the difference, you'll reach for them all the time.
It's a strange but good feeling, walking with these shoes on feels more like walking with my barefeet but at the same time not really.

Large toe areas even with socks on you can order your size and still have plenty of room . They are comfortable, do wish the souls were a little thicker. Wouldn’t want to step on a tack .
I’ve only worn these a few times but really like the feel and the balance between natural feet and a bit of cushion as well. Can be a bit uncomfortable on outer toe but I expected that during transition.
Best shoes on the market for walking in comfort.

I bought the men's shoes because women's didn't have my size - and I went a size larger as recommended - my feet are very wide. I've worn custom orthotics for years, over-pronation, with high arches, morton's neuroma, and hammer toe. The orthotics seemed to be helping, but I had to get new ones every five years or so, things would change. Then in my 50s I started having terrible leg cramps at night and I noticed a bunion forming. Doctor said I my arches were falling, and this is normal with age, just get new orthotics (again). I watch the 'stay flexy' guy's reels a lot and what he said about barefoot shoes and toe splay - though it went completely against everything doctors had been telling me - made a lot of sense. So I bought a pair. I'm amazed - it took about 2 weeks of adjusting to the toe shoes, but now my feet slide into them as fast as regular shoes. What's better , the bunion seems to be reversing, I no longer wake up with foot pain at night, no more pain in my calves. It feels a bit strange at first, these shoes are just too comfortable to be wearing out in the store. I did 20k steps last Saturday, woke up Sunday without any pain and did another 15k steps. I feel like I have the mobility of my early 30s back, it's amazing.
These are spectacular
Just as nice as the first pair, I purchased huge fan just wish there was a cotton sock liners all about trying to be as natural as possible but the toe splay in these the feeling of being centered is unparalleled.

Very comfy and very cute.
Thoroughly love my. I come from an altra background, And really love the older ones I had specifically for their wide toe box. Once I discovered these shoes, I was glad that I read the reviews. Did some research typically wear 11.5 and decided to purchase 12.5 and boy am I glad I did. It would be nice to have some form of grounding souls or grounding built-in to these shoes as well as a non-polyester soul like a cotton soul something that’s all natural. Those are my only two qualms otherwise perfection.
