Amazing shoes

amazing shoes do not want to wear anything else!! I have really wide feet especially my left foot and these are the only shoes that truly fit my foot. Go up half a size on these and you should be good. Will be ordering more pairs!!

Greatest Support Ever

Really enjoying my Peluva barefoot shoes. I have 3 pair now; however, i am missing a white pair. That's my next purchase. Having 4 pair of Peluva shoes should let you know how much I am enjoying them.

Response from Peluva

Thanks again, Christopher! Love that you enjoy comfort and quality enough to collect multiple pairs.

Life changing. Only regret is not buying Peluvas earlier. TRULY feel a foot to mind connection with these. Only CON: ALL my conventional sneakers are not ever getting worn again (Nike). I tryed the slip ons first then Immediately bought this pair and instantly loved them. PELUVA- if you know, Then you KNOW!

Toe Shoe Review

I workout outside at my home gym and I prefer doing squats barefoot. Since it’s cold out, these shoes keep my feet warm and protected from the cold. Natural foot movement, good flexibility. And great to run around outside in the yard to help strengthen foot muscles.

Robert A. I.· January 6, 2026

Response from Peluva

Thanks, Robert! Love hearing how these support natural movement and help with outdoor workouts even in cold weather.

Feels great

We sized up 1/2 a size…a little bit of a struggle to get on but once on they feel very comfortable. I’m excited about the benefits.

Thanks again, Andrea! Happy you sized up and that they feel great once on.

Pleasantly Surprised

I love my new connection to the ground. My balance has improved when I do my strength training workouts. I walked a few miles on the treadmill and prefer the Peluvas over my running shoes. It truly engages your muscles differently.

Shaylon R.· January 4, 2026

Response from Peluva

Fantastic to hear, Shaylon. That kind of muscle engagement and balance improvement is exactly what we love to hear about.

The next best thing.

The next best thing to going barefoot in flip flops. If only work would let me wear them.

Thanks, Kyle. We’re glad you’re enjoying the feel of going barefoot while still getting the structure you need. Hopefully, one day your workplace catches up.

Next step up from barefoot shoes

I've been wearing barefoot shoes like Merrill, Vivo, and Xero for the last several years. I remember when I first made the switch it was a noticeable "wow factor". All my knee pains vanished. After a run I would feel the muscles in my feet and calves sore, as opposed to just my leg muscles. Definitely strengthened my feet and gave me a good base for my level of fitness, but they didn't do much in terms of individual toe mobility. My feet got stronger but not much more flexible, and I was still prone to foot cramps when attempting to stretch. So I decided to make the jump and give Peluvas a shot and honestly it felt similar to the jump from "normie" shoes to barefoot shoes. Definitely got that wow factor again. 2 weeks of wearing them and I already feel myself using each of my individual toes for balancing, walking, running, climbing. I'll still sometimes wear my Xeros and I even feel myself walking differently in those now after Peluvas, using all of my toes and feeling more grounded with each step. It was definitely a deliberate effort at first, thinking about using all my toes, but over time it's becoming subconscious. Idk how to describe it, I guess it makes walking feel primal and natural for when you need to wear shoes, and optimizes your barefoot experience. In terms of sizing I just measured my foot very tightly with no margin, then sized up 1 from there. worked for me

David A.· December 27, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks, David. Your experience and thoughtful description of toe mobility and natural movement is amazing to read. Glad the shoes are strengthening your feet and supporting your mobility.

These shoes are so comfortable.

I don't leave the house without them except for when it's raining or using my black pair for work.

James H. W.· December 26, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thank you, James. We’re glad they’re your go-to pair for everything except rainy days. Sounds like the perfect everyday choice.

Peluva Strand Sport Mesh shoes are fantastic!!!

These are my first pair of Peluva shoes, and I am very happy with them. I ordered a half size larger than my normal shoe size. They fit great when I wasn’t wearing socks. With sock, they were a little too tight for me. With Peluva’s great return policy, I was able to exchange them for a full size larger than my normal shoe size. I find that I prefer the slightly thicker 9mm sole of Peluva’s over the 3mm soles of my Vibrams for daily wear. Also, Peluva shoes have a more stylish look than the Vibrams, making them better for everyday day wear under all activities, not just sports. I liked the shoes so much that I ordered 4 more pairs (Napa Dress Hybrid, Court Ad-In, Zen Active Slip-On, and Miami Casual Loafer. Can’t wait for them to arrive.

I like them

They’re super hard to figure out how to put on it first, but it does get easier. I feel like it’s helping my feet my ankles and my glutes.
