I like my new strands!

My podiatrist says that the bunion and my left foot is as big as it is going to get. I’m chosen never to do surgery and I have no pain. I love wearing my new lupus on the treadmill because it forces my big toe to realign itself. I can’t really feel the benefits of grounding already.!

Love this! So glad your podiatrist's plan and your Strands are working together well.

New to separated toe shoes

I was not totally new to barefoot shoes, but this is my first experience with the separated toe shoes. I was skeptical at 1st,...a little hard to put on & slightly rough at the seams without toe socks. (Your socks were sold out when I ordered the shoes). But once I got some thin toe socks from another source I find I'm really enjoying the shoes. My toes love being able to do their actual jobs! A my baby toe doesn't feel smooshed!!

Love that you stuck with it and found your groove, that baby toe freedom is the best part!

Just what my feet needed

I bought these shoes as a last ditch effort to deal with foot/ankle/calf pain. I was advised in the past to wear high top hiking boots (for ankle support), along with custom orthotics to “heal” supposed plantar fasciitis along with high arches. Years of doing that just made it worse. I was also advised NOT to walk barefoot. All that changed when I decided to try barefoot shoes. Now I prefer to walk barefoot so my feet can relearn how to use all of their muscles in unison. I really enjoy feeling my feet work to walk. I am more aware of my steps, my gait, and the way my footstep should start with the heel and then roll to the toes to push off. Tight hiking boots were coffins for my feet and kept them from utilizing the muscles.

Best thing to happen to my feet!

I was skeptical. I bought these thinking that it couldn't hurt and if it helped, great. These turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to my feet. Splaying my toes and leveling my foot has helped me so much. I didn't realize how far off my gait had become because I was compensating for foot pain. These have enough cushion to protect my metatarsals while encouraging my foot pad to move back into place. It had moved too high to try and protect me from my pickleball shoes that push all of my weight onto the balls of my feet instead of spreading it out. I hope they never quit making these. I'm a customer for life.

comfortable

I've noticed a change in my fused ankle when I wear these shoes. Can wait to invest in more.

After finding the right size, I love how comfortable these shoes are. The exchange was easy & I did have to size up a full size. Can't wait to purchase more in different colors.

Very happy

I can hike and trail run! I am so impressed! I have been using 5 toes shoes for 15 years to work and work out but not enough thickness for the outdoors. Now I can! Thank you!!

A friend of mine told me about this brand. It was not a disappointment. These were comfortable and had stability. No back pain will walking. I’m telling everyone to get a pair.

Comfortable

These shoes are very lightweight. I’ve been wearing them for walking and exercise activities. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who develop hammer toe.

I love them

I have always had a preference for being barefoot or wearing sandals because I walk / hike a lot. I don’t have the feet, leg or back problems other people my age have because their foot muscles are so weak. I am happy to finally have something I can walk and hike in which allows my feet to move as if I were barefoot.

LOVE the Strand ATR!

I have been hiking up to 10 miles in my Peluvas for six months now and l love them! Traction is amazing on dirt, rocks and scree. I love the fit. I went a full size up as I always wear with socks (except for pics) and the styling of the ATRs is very pleasing to the eye. I even love looking at the bottom with contrast of the rubber on the outsole, lol. I had tried a pair of the Carrie slip on and I think there was a manufacturing defect in the toes so sent that one back. Tried the socks and I am not a fan. I do prefer another brand. But these shoes wowza!! If the Stands were a little more pleasing to the eye, I'd order a pair today as these ones squeak maybe a little too much at the gym and I'm just looking for an excuse to get more pairs. As it is, I have my eye on the Aspen for the colder months!

Best

First off, far my favorite. I even use it for Manitou Incline and dog off leash trail. Recently, Mitchell lake trail Colorado and two more lake like Blue Lake Id give 4 stars, will say size up. Im 6.5 and I have ridiculous wide feet like E4 men. P.s. they're dirty after 5 hours Mitchell lake trail :) Worth it.

Love these!

I am a 7.5 normally and bought an 8 in these. My feet have thanked me so many times! I have bunions and my big toe crosses over my 2nd toe. These shoes have kept me from having surgery and are slowly changing my feet! Thank you Peluva!!! I have 7 pairs! Wear these with a dress too lol!

Delivery Drivers Dream!

I work 10 hour days in all terrain delivering packages to customers up to 50lbs and started developing knee and foot pain quickly. I came across Peluva from Stay Flexy David on YouTube searching how to remedy this pain to make my job easier and since then, these ATR (all terrain) sneakers have really helped me stregthen my feet muscles and realign my toes with their natural splay. I no longer have foot and knee pain! It took some time to get used to them since I work such long hours walking all day so what I did in the beginning was switch back and forth with Peluva and my regular shoes. Now I don't like to where regular shoes anymore! Thank you so much Peluva ❤

Big Toes

My big toes are at and pushing over the edge of the sole a bit. I'm trusting the description of fit as well as my friend's experience that it is normal and my toes will mold the shoes to fit. The other toes are fine and the width is good. I am wearing them around the house first now to get used to them. They feel like feet gloves. I am looking forward to the strengthening of my feet...

Comfort 1st time purchase

I saw a review someone else did and I was like let me try the shoe. I walk alot and sometime certain shoes just hurt after hours of walking (including walking shoes). So far I have not had any issues. This is probably my 1st shoe I've worn with no socks but I ordered the toe socks and they are still comfortable. I was concerned because I have a short pinky toe, but after a few tries and adjustment I know how put the shoe on perfectly.
