Near perfect

Comfortable, easy to wear fast to get used to. If I could've found a nonslip version we'd be onto somthing but being careful if all part of it and all works as intended. Fantastic shoe. Will buy more in future.

Matthew H.· June 22, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the thoughtful review, Matthew! We’re so glad you’re loving the comfort and ease of the Strand Sport Mesh. A nonslip version is a great suggestion—we’ll pass it along to our team. Here’s to more grounded steps and future pairs!

IMPRESSED

As a medical provider myself, I’m very impressed with the quality and promotion of natural alignment. If asked to partner with the brand, I’d probably consider it. The shoes are that good.

First time peluva customer

I've never owned toed shoes before, so I've been getting used to them. But they seem comfortable and high quality so far. I bought them for potential long term benefits.

Stephen B.· June 20, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks for giving Peluvas a try, Stephen! It’s great to hear you’re easing into the experience of toed shoes and already noticing their comfort and quality. They can definitely take a little getting used to, especially for first-timers, but many find the long-term benefits well worth it. Appreciate you sharing your early impressions!

Verified Buyer

Amazing

Once you get used to putting them on they are pretty amazing. I wonder if mine are a little small? Next pair I think I'll get a half size larger. I don't feel all the stuff they claim, like better balance but indefinitely would recommend them. I wish I could wear them to work but I need steel toe work boots. I love the way me feet feel after I wear them.

Travis T.· June 20, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the honest take, Travis! It’s great to hear they’re growing on you—especially with how your feet feel afterward. Definitely try going up a half size next time for even more comfort. And hey, maybe one day we’ll offer a steel-toe version too!

They're great!

A game-changer for my workouts.

Love to hear that, Ronny! It’s awesome that they’re making such a positive impact on your workouts. Thanks for the shoutout!

Shoes

These shoes are very comfortable. I really like being lower to the ground for total stability and the spreading of the toes are just total comfort. I walk 5 miles a day, completely enjoy these and they will be the only shoe I will wear now while walking. I will be buying the dress shoe next. I watched the video on these and completely agree with the story behind this type of shoe. If you plan on using the socks with the shoe get one size larger than what you normally wear. That worked out perfect for me.

Thomas L.· June 19, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks, Thomas! It’s great to hear how well the Strand Sport Mesh is working for your daily walks. That grounded feel and toe alignment really do make a big difference. And you’re spot on with the sock sizing tip. We think you’ll love the dress shoes just as much!

Sensible Sport Shoe

I like my peluvas. I am not sure if I got the right size. I have worned them twice and they seem to be loosening up. They are practical and I can feel a slight difference in my feet formation. I half size larger might be more appropriate. Overall, I will stay with them. I am walking around in the house to really put them to use.

Love me Peluvas

I bought these to help my posture, strengthening and pain in my back. It is taking a little time to get used to them, but after a couple of weeks I prefer these over any other shoe I have. All these years of being told I need sole and arch support was not right for me. I always knew I needed a wide shoe and room. My Peluvas are great. I'm looking to buy a pair for golf, casual dress and more exercise. Love them!

Dave M.· June 16, 2025

Response from Peluva

That’s amazing to hear. It’s powerful when you find something that truly aligns with what your body needs. Sounds like your transition into minimalist footwear is going really well, and we’re thrilled your Peluvas are helping with posture and comfort. Can’t wait for you to explore more styles!

Love them!!!

My husband has alignment issues and plantar fasciitis and these shoes gave him IMMEDIATE relief! He shows them off to everyone and wants all the styles now.

That’s amazing to hear! Immediate relief from plantar fasciitis and alignment issues is exactly what we aim for. Love that he’s showing them off—can’t wait for him to try out more styles!

FEET ARE HAPPY

Well, it took a moment to get them on the first time....my toes have been squished up for much of my life. Each time they are easier and easier to put on. I have been wearing them on walks and.....(1). My feet are HAPPY...they feel good. (2) In a short time they are already correcting my feet and they are spreading nicely. (3). This is very grounding in the minimalist style of the sole. (4) Intuitively I am clear that wearing these regularly is moving my feet to a healthier lifestyle.

Ren J.· June 15, 2025

Response from Peluva

Love hearing this! It’s amazing what happens when feet finally get the space and freedom they need. Glad to hear they’re already making a difference and that you’re feeling more grounded and aligned. Sounds like you’re on a great path to healthier feet!

They look goofy but damn they’re awesome!

I’ve had back and foot issues for years but these are definitely a game changer! On the down side my calves killed me for the first week. I’m pretty sure I was because I started using muscles that haven’t been used in a while. I’m planning on buying a couple more pairs.

Brent M.· June 13, 2025

Response from Peluva

Love the honesty! Yeah, they’ve got a unique look—but if they’re helping with foot and back pain, that’s what really counts. The calf soreness is totally normal when activating underused muscles. Sounds like your body’s adjusting well, and we’re excited you’re planning to grab more pairs!

Best shoes

I absolutely love them so comfortable and my feet feel so much better after just a week!!

That’s awesome to hear! It’s amazing what a difference a week can make when your feet finally get the support and space they need. Thanks for sharing, and keep enjoying those workouts!

Verified Buyer

These shoes are awesome!

Love these shoes! I have worn them as a daily wear and also in a couple crossfit workouts and they feel great! The last pair of "toe shoes" I owned was many years ago....they were not Peluva brand.... and they were very uncomfortable. These are crazy comfortable and great quality!

Bret C.· June 12, 2025

Response from Peluva

That’s fantastic! We’re glad to hear your experience with Peluvas has been a game changer, especially compared to past toe shoes. Comfortable, durable, and CrossFit-ready—that’s what we aim for!

Verified Buyer

Great fit, breathable, and durable

These feel great. Be sure to wear socks that come well above the heel. Otherwise, the back of the shoe will chafe your Achilles tendon area. Otherwise, these are rugged yet lightweight and very breathable. The outsole is of good quality and design.

Adam A.· June 12, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the heads-up and helpful tip about sock height! We’re glad the fit, breathability, and durability are all working well for you. Sounds like the Strand Sport Mesh is hitting the mark!

Feel great!

The shoes feel really good. A little tight with socks but great without. There has been no discomfort during the break in period. Now my wife wants a pair.

Just started rocking these.

Very comfortable. Outstanding product. It took a little courage to wear these in public. I just told myself it just doesn't matter what people think- AI is going to destroy humanity. That seems to make these shoes work great for me.

Appreciate the humor—and the honesty! Glad you’re feeling the comfort and embracing the look. Confidence looks good on you, and we’re glad the shoes are working out great!
