Peluva shoes

Very comfortable and light gives good support.

Super comfy

After exchanging (painless!) my first pair which were slightly too small, I love the fit, comfort and support of my new Peluvas. They fit perfectly snugly. I wear them for walks/short hikes and I almost forget that I have anything on my feet! I had to keep looking down at them, at first, because my brain thought that I was wearing socks. Also, nice and grippy for scrambling on dry river rocks.

I like them

Thanks, Anna! We're glad to hear you're enjoying your Peluvas!

Most comfy barefoot shoes

Shoes are great but the shoelaces are a little too long, even when double knotted. Shortening shoelaces by a couple inches will make them perfect.

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the helpful feedback, April! We're thrilled the shoes are hitting the mark on comfort. We'll definitely pass the lace length note along to the team!

Trainers

I have cross over toe. This helps. I’m m using them at home and for strength and yoga training.

They really help!

I bought these shoes hoping they might help with the plantar fasciitis pain I was experiencing, and they did! As soon as I put them on I could walk on my heels without pain! I could only wear the shoes for about 5 hours before my toes needed a break. I'm confident I will be able to wear them longer as I get used to them. I used the web site to discover my size and I went with the higher recommendation for a loose fit. They fit like a glove. Next time I may order a half size larger.

Love them!

I thought I was going to return them until I put them on. I absolutely love these shoes because they are so comfortable on my feet and they are very well made. I walk in them and use them at the gym. Trying to strengthen my feet and ankles and improve my balance. These shoes are definitely helping. You can't really notice they are barefoot shoes unless you look down at them. No one has noticed yet when I have worn them. I really love these shoes ❤️

Good shoes

I'm really enjoying these so far, they just take practice and time to put on if you're toes are stubbornly trying to stay together like mine. I'm glad I took the advice of other reviews and got two sizes up from my regular shoes (9 1/2 instead of 8 1/2), they fit perfectly!

Extremely comfortable shoes. I’ve been doing minimalist shoes for about 4 - 5 years. First time I tried toe shoes. I put them on and immediately fell in love with how comfortable they were. I know many, myself included, say it takes getting used to the toes and putting them on. I learned how to get them on on the 3rd time (line toes up with sockets before pulling on) and the only thing I’m getting used to is the fabric between toes. I’ve loved toe socks my whole life but these are thicker than toe socks, but it is NOT an uncomfortable feeling, the shoes are still insanely comfortable and it just feels different.

Absolute Game Changer!

I was skeptical about these shoes in the beginning and a little put off by the price, until I found a deal in the sale section. After receiving them, and returning them until I found the correct sizing, I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say they've changed my attitude towards gym days and walking time. I cannot believe the difference between my Peluvas and conventional sneakers. It's like night and day! If you value your health and want to do better at the gym as well as walk more, with comfort and ease, then these are the shoes for you!

Strand lightweight trainer

I really like this shoe. It’s very lightweight & flexible. It didn’t require the break in time that my other Peluva did. My foot pain has just about resolved in the few months that I have been wearing your ahows

Love these shoes

I put them on and had no issues once I learned how to spread my toes to get into correct toe slot! I bought 2 pr, one the size i usually get, the other 0.5 size up. The larger fit perfectly. I am in process of exchanging the other for correct size. Kayla has been providing solid customer service

Bought it as a medical device to help we correct my bunion in one foot!

Hope I can wear it everyday over a year and it will help correct my bunion!

Better Walk

I walk daily and in these shoes my arches did not fall, my heels did not hurt, my toes did not claw up and my knees felt better! I look forward to walking in these instead of bulky tennis shoes.

(Sigh) I was so excited when i ordered these, but my excitement was thwarted by dissatisfaction and disappointment. It's the size of these shoes that's so annoying! I wear women's 9, STRONG, in every shoe I've worn. This shoe, however, feels like 2 sizes too snall. The shoes are digging in between my toes, making an ache like I've never felt before! The sole and heel are very comfortable, though. Hopefully, I'm able to return these for a size up and update my review.

DAY 2!

I love my lightweight trainers! Feeling great walking the neighborhood! Bought a pair for my husband too! He didn't want to feel left out:)

So far good

Wore there twice all day. No foot pain. Which i do have with most shoes. These are light weight. Easy to put on. I will try them for a few mo ths. Might try another style. They're not good for any rough outdoor terrain. Twigs and pine needles go through the fabric and between toes.

Alicia B.· May 4, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the feedback, Alicia! We're glad they're helping with foot pain and feeling comfortable. For rougher terrain, a more rugged model like the Strand ATR may be a better fit.
