Best Shoes Ever
This is my second pair. I battled plantar fasciitis for months. On the recommendation of my chiropractor, I bought the shoes. I wrote them all around Las Vegas with no pain. I was absolutely amazed at the difference!

I like the toe spread my arches feel a lot less restricted. The fit isn’t perfect. My heel also gets a blister. The socks in size small are still too big.
I love my new shoes! I love the way they feel on my feet; it is like wearing nice gloves but on my feet. I think that they are definitely doing their job as my toes don’t look so close together and feel better when I walk. I recommend them for comfort and to help with bunions 😅
These are so easy in and off. So comfy for walking in the house and on a walk outside. Love it!
So far these are fantastic and my feet feel great in the all day long! I’ve been having issues for two years with mostly my left foot but some with my right too and those issues have completely changed my thoughts about footwear! I will definitely be buying more. Bought for everyday work which has me walking a lot!!
I didn't know what to expect. I put them on and said OK, I walked and said better, I crossed trained and went to the gym and work out and said WOW!! PELUVA IS THE STRAND LIGHTWEIGHT TRAINER SHOE that feels and fit right. Will continue to buy. Thank you 😊 for having such an amazing 👏 🤩 product.
I purchased this shoe and the ATR for working out, walking, hiking etc. this one is the most comfortable. Sized up a half size over casual shoes, same size I wear in standard workout shoes. The fabric on these is VERY comfortable. The ATR fits smaller (probably needed 8.5) and the fabric irritates my feet so I have to wear socks. I use the lightweight strand trainer for HIIT workouts as well as walking lots of miles- great shoe and no issues. I wear without socks unless I’m in colder climates for outdoor walks.
I love the shoes but for some reason even a whole size up feels a little tight. It fits mire tighter on my left foot than. Not sure why since both left and right are the same size shoe. Otherwise, I would have given a 5 star on these. The tightness is between the 4th toe and baby toe so maybe looking into whether adjustments need to be made would be good.
My first Pelican . I own a lot of Xeros, Lems and and I was looking to replace a battered old school vibram 5 fingers. I am an 8 and usually order a 8.5 for more space. However I recommend that if you have longer slender toes, go a half size more up. Should I buy again, that is indeed what I will do. Not a fan of the laces so I will be looking at the slip on versions.
Love the way my feet can move with more control.
Ive had a similar pair before years ago and always love the concept. But it fizzled out. Glad someone brought it back to life.

I find it hard to find shoes that fit properly. When I have my foot properly sized it is a 4.5. I have a wide foot box that makes it even harder to find a shoe that fits. I learned about toe shoes around 2011, the price tag kept me from trying them. I purchased these to try and correct the position of my toes on the lateral side. I walk at a fast pace which with ill fitting shoes messes with my balance at a fast pace. I find it hard to keep my balance if an obstacle trips me up. I have found that I can maintain a consistent pace now without worrying about tripping and face planting.
My second pair of peluvas. Love them. Feel so good on my feet.
Great for working out and pretty stylish!

Liked these and looking into another purchase. Although I have worn toe spacers and zero drop shoes for a while. These shoes do seem to continue to strengthen my feet and legs.
Great!
IM OBSESSED!
My wife was pleasantly surprised to like the fit and how the shoe feels when walking. It has helped her forefoot pain from a Morton's neuroma.
I am so pleased I bought these - the size is great, the fit is great, and my stability is improving by the minute. Totally satisfied!
Strand Lightweight Trainer is my favorite! My reg non Peluva shoe size is 7.5. I went 1/2 size up - a perfect fit for the Trainer. No more foot, knee pain w/ Peluvas plus they are extremely comfortable, my feet no longer tire so quickly or feel suffocated/ claustrophobic - Many thanks!! 2wks of intense walking in Japan, in the Trainers, a lifesaver! Since then, I got the Strand Sport Mesh and Zen Active Slip-on, both size 9.0 for the best fit as I have high volume feet. Both are indoor shoes, Sport Mesh for workouts. Now onto the Desert Boots and Strand ATR! Thank you Mark and Kyle for improving my quality of life! Another BIG thanks to your awesome Customer Service/ Support Team for being so responsive and accommodating!!
I feel more grounded and know that my feet are being exercised in a way that strengthens them.
Great shoe
