I find they are a bit small even though I ordered a size larger than I normally wear. Very hard to get on.

Helps Significantly

I have flat feet, arthritis in my big toes, and bunions. I was getting to the point where I couldn’t walk as much and would have daily pain with all. I bought these and wear them full time now. Vast improvement I think on all fronts. Will say they ran small though did have to size up as recommended.

It’s great to hear you’re experiencing such significant relief, especially with all those foot challenges. Sizing up was a smart move!

Great shoe!

I’ve struggled to find a shoe that helps with my foot pain long term. Most work for a while but then my feet start hurting again. These shoes have helped so much with my foot pain! I can feel the muscles in my feet working as they should naturally when I go for walks in them. They have been a great addition to my footwear and will be adding more in the future!

So glad to hear they’ve helped with your foot pain, Mariah! Sounds like your feet are thriving, enjoy every step!

The shoes are nice yet the fall/winter season is coming in rather quickly so i wont get to try them out until the end of Spring/ early Summer. NOT winter hiking shoes. I will follow -up

Thanks, Tina! Enjoy when the weather warms up, we’ll be here when you’re ready for spring trails!

Comfy & stylish

It takes about five minutes to get the shoes on the first few times but gets easier. The inside under the toe area is a little rough but with the toe socks it's fine. Order one full size bigger than your normal size. I tried half a size bigger & had to exchange them. They have definitely made a difference in my feet/toes. It's hard to explain but my steps feel more stable. They are light & don't feel like they are worth the cost. But if they last, they're are!

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, Linda. We’re glad to hear they’re helping your steps feel more stable, enjoy the comfort and style!

Love them!

I was genuinely shocked at how comfortable these shoes were when I first put them on and went for a hike. They have the perfect amount of cushion without taking away from the “barefoot” walking experience. They are my favorite shoes to go on hikes/walks now!

Response from Peluva

That’s awesome to hear, Delaney! So glad they nailed the comfort and cushion, perfect hiking companions.

I love these!

These are everything I wanted them to be. Not only are they comfortable, I have also seen such an improvement in ankle strength

Love these toe shoes

This is my first pair of Peluvas and this will be my go to brand. The soles are the perfect thickness to protect on rocks and the barefoot feels is still great! I thought at first they were a touch big but once I had my toe socks on, the fit is perfect. I ordered my normals size. I’m looking forward to my next pair and have been browsing the site to see which style they will be. I have worn another brand of toe shoes for almost 20 years but their quality was deteriorating. I’m so thankful to have found Peluva!

Thanks so much, Roberta! Love that you’re enjoying the fit and feel, can’t wait for you to pick out your next pair!

The 3rd Time was the Charm!

I had some difficulty finding the right size. Size 10 was too small, size 11 was too big… and I went for the 11 on the second try because the size 10 was REALLY too small. But size 10.5 has turned out to be just right! The fit is good, and these have more cushioning in the soles than my Vibram 5 finger shoes. This also makes them warmer to wear, which is really nice with fall and winter coming. I’m really going to enjoy these shoes and I’ll soon be looking for my next favorite pair of Peluva’s!

Niara T. I.· October 16, 2025

Response from Peluva

So glad the third try was the charm, Niara! Happy to hear the fit and warmth are just right, enjoy your new pair, and happy early winter walks!

The best footwear!

I get stopped on the street everywhere I walk in the city asking about my footwear. I tell them all about how comfortable and great this footwear is. Actually my pink shoes get noticed more than the black ones I just purchased!

Amazing to hear, Amanda! Thanks for spreading the word out there, those pink ones definitely turn heads!

Womens Strand ATR

I call them trail shoes. I will be hiking in varied trails in these. At first, I didn't like them but each day I wear them they get more comfortable! Like a warm hug for my feet! I also have the desert boots and love them. Thank you for a comfortable shoe that works with and not against my foot! 🌹

Christina, love hearing how the Strand ATRs are growing on you, that “warm hug” feeling is exactly what we’re going for. Excited for you to hit the trails with them!

I’m so impressed! Using these shoes help my muscles in my legs/ankle foot work together. I have a stronger stride. My flexibility is amazing!

Carolyn, we love hearing how the Strand ATR is helping you move better and feel stronger. That’s exactly what we’re all about!

Great look and fit

Love the look and feel of these. Still with the great toe splay and a great color. Easy to get on and off.

Sarah, love to hear the Strand ATRs are hitting the mark for both style and function especially that toe splay and easy on-off feel!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have worn toe shoes in the past but needed i soles in them because they were so uncomfortable. I would switch between them and wide toe box tennis shoes. Since buying my first pair of Peluvas, I have no desire to wear any other shoes. I wear them to work out, including running and jumping rope, and just every day wear.

Rani Y.· September 27, 2025

Response from Peluva

Rani, that’s incredible to hear, thank you! It’s awesome that your Peluvas have replaced both your old toe shoes and wide toe box sneakers. That kind of all-day comfort and performance is exactly what we aim for.

Verified Buyer

Great shoes that actually fit my big 2nd toe!! :]

I love them!!

Cameron, so glad the Strand ATRs are a perfect fit especially for that second toe! That kind of comfort is what we’re all about.

So far I love them. It takes some adjusting but all in all great! I bought a full size up and I’m glad I did.

Love These!

I've been wearing minimal zero drop shoes for a long time but always wore toe spreaders that would slip out of place when I was hiking and it drove me nutso. I've done numerous hikes in these and my feet feel fabulous! Because I have skinny feet the toe spaces are a little big but the length is great...they kind of look "clowny" on my feet from my view but they are wonderful otherwise. I'll be buying more Peluva's for sure.

Denise I.· September 22, 2025

Response from Peluva

So glad the Strand ATRs are working out on your hikes especially without the hassle of slipping toe spreaders! Thanks for the fun and honest feedback, we’ll be here when you’re ready for your next pair!

Feels great

I have to say that there is a learning curve for the toes but after wearing for the second day I knew this was going to work for me. No leg cramping and no foot cramping. Now I want a second pair and some slippers!!!

deborah m.· September 20, 2025

Response from Peluva

So happy to hear they’re working for you, no cramping is a big win! Once you get past that toe learning curve, it really clicks. Love that you’re already thinking about your next pair!

Favorite shoe

It is necessary to go up in size and wear them at home for a bit to break them in. Then they will be your favorite shoe too! Back feels better, hip and feet too.

Love to hear they’ve become your favorite and that they’re helping with overall comfort and alignment. Great advice on sizing up and breaking them in at home!

Verified Buyer

Big changes!

I’m really enjoying these shoes. It took a little doing to get them on the first time or two. I have been trying to make changes in my feet which I’m sure was part of the difficult in getting into them. My feet have changed rapidly since starting to wear them. The pain in my hip is gone and I have more flexibility in my feet. I’m sure is improving my balance too.

Perfect for the trails of TN

I did a quick break in upon arrival and then did a sunrise event at Burgess Falls here in TN. I zipped up and down the climb to the waterfall like a champ and ABSOLUTELY LOVED being able to feel the ground but not be impacted by it if that makes sense. Plenty of padding that I didn't feel like every pebble might leave me bruised but not so much that I couldn't feel the pebbles and adjust my steps. I told my husband how much more stable I felt. I received a few compliments and bragged about the brand (this is my third pair in total).
