Only because I can fit my right foot in it. On my left foot I have a really crooked toe and can't wear the left shoe. I hope that they put it in their future products so that people like me don't end up buying shoes they can't wear on one foot.
These are my 4 th pair of peluva shoes. The first two pairs I purchased were only one size bigger. I really love them wearing them around the house, but when I went for a couple mile walk, my toes were pressing the top edges and they seem to be too small, so I purchased one and a half size bigger than what I normally wear and they are much better.
I had to reorder in the next size up after the first pair came, now that I have the right size, I love them!
So, I thought these were the ugly shoes I ever seen in my life however. I have had so many issues with my feet for so many years and after wearing these shoes for just one day all those issues started going away, literally every single issue!! I have midfoot arthritis, bunions, my feet are always aching. Been wearing these for a full week and my feet have never felt better. I ran the other day for 1.65 miles and was able to run the entire thing without stopping, no shin splints, no aching feet and I felt fine the next day! If you're considering getting a pair do it stop thinking about it don't worry about how they look lol they are the best shoes in the world no lie!!!
I couldn’t be happier
These red Peluvas are so cute❤️🔥
My right foot is slightly longer than my left, and my 2nd right toe is longer than my big toe. Initially, that long toe was bent, and after a few days, I was just about ready to return them. It was a shame because everything else felt great! After about a week, I could wear them for an hour or two, and I began to notice the long toe flattened out. At that point, I decided that I would keep the shoes and started wearing them without socks. This is the best fit for me, and I just use a little powder to help avoid rubbing. I wear them only around the house, 4-5 hours every other day or so. I've noticed that squatting, going up and down stairs, and walking around on wood floors -- all of which I would otherwise do barefoot -- felt a lot more comfortable when wearing these shoes. I haven't worn them outside on a walk yet, and I did develop a couple small blisters the las time I wore them. The fabric that separates the toes rubs me wrong sometimes. But overall, my feet feel better while and after I wear them. I may keep these exclusively to use indoors around the house or at the gym. I may try a size up so that I can wear socks with them and go outside more comfortably.
I have had a few pair of toe shoes over the years, but these really are the best ones I have ever wiggled my toes into. The have the perfect amount of insole and great flex feel on my feet. Super breathable material keepu feet dry and cool. Amazing style and patterns available. I'm already looking for my next pair 💕
Love Peluva! Happy feet!
Make my feet look like little caveman feet, but I can really feel good changes in my stride and my body. Still learning how to put the, on, it’s only been a little while, but I do think I love them and will be getting some more pairs!
This is my third purchase. I now have 3 pairs in weekly rotation. I've been in love with them for a while! Just added the red pair. Comfort without any complications. I walk 3 miles in the morning and 2- 3 most afternoons. I live in South FL and walk rain or shine. Thank you for your superior product! Mona Garner
Peluva’s are so good!!! I’ve been on a mission to find the perfect shoe (for me) when walking. I’m still getting used to them, but so far they are great! I have noticed when I walk with any other shoe, my left foot drags a little bit once in a while for some reason. I wore these for a 30 minute walk one day last week and not one time did my foot drag!!!! Getting used to them and they are getting more and more comfy. I’m sold!!! And can’t wait to try the other styles. Thank you!!
I fell in love with the beauty, Then after a brief adjustment period I came to love this pair of red footwear for its comfort and foot aesthetics. It’s become a part of me!
My biggest struggle with the shoe is getting it on. I dress for workouts first thing and sit on my closet floor for about 5 minutes struggling to get all my toes in the right places. Once they’re on, they feel good and I know I’m strengthening my feet by walking in them but man! I wish they would just slip right on without a fight!!
Overall I really like these shoes. The sizing is a little wonky. I used the online sizing tool and ordered the recommended size. They fit well except for the big toe, which was too short. It felt like that toe wouldn’t flatten completely and I was sure to develop a hole at the end. My big toe isn’t much longer than the second toe, they look pretty standard to me. I exchanged (very easy, thank you Peluva) and the next size up was more comfortable on my big toe. The length on all the other toes is kind of too long and I was worried I would trip or have to alter my gait in some way, but this hasn’t been the case. Transitioning has been easy, I’ve walked in them for several miles at a time outside and on the treadmill. At some point I may try wearing them to work if I can tolerate the teasing by my coworkers.
I bought these shoes out of desperation. My feet hurt badly after years of nursing. I have a bunion on the right, fallen arch on the left and my next step would be surgery. I consulted with AI and Peluva was recommended. My first pair was 1/2 size larger but I needed to go up a full size to accommodate Morton’s toe. Just putting the shoes on and getting that toe spread gave immediate relief. I’ve been wearing them now for 6 weeks and I’m able to do daily 3 mile walks comfortably and the relief extends even after I’ve taken them off. These shoes are a game changer.
★★★★ ★ As a Certified Personal Trainer, and someone who has spent years studying movement, performance, and overall body mechanics, I’m extremely picky about footwear. Most shoes restrict natural foot function, squeeze the toes together, and disconnect us from the ground. Peluvas do the exact opposite. The individual toe design looked different at first, but after wearing them, I honestly don’t want to go back to traditional shoes. My feet feel stronger, more stable, and more connected to the ground whether I’m training, walking, or simply going about my day. The natural toe splay and freedom of movement are unlike anything I’ve experienced in other athletic shoes. What surprised me most was realizing how restricted my feet had felt in conventional footwear all these years. Once my feet adapted, everything just felt more natural. I wear these for workouts, walks, errands, and pretty much any opportunity I get. They’re lightweight, comfortable, incredibly well-made, and always spark conversations when people see them. As someone in the fitness and sports industry, I’m a huge believer that healthy movement starts from the ground up. Our feet are our foundation, and Peluva is one of the few companies creating footwear that actually respects how the human foot was designed to function. I rarely get this excited about a product, but these exceeded every expectation I had. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. Your feet will thank you. Needless to say, I’ll be buying more pairs.
These shoes are a game changer for me and I have bad feet. If they work for me, they can work for everyone!
Quality construction. Attractive design. Because my 'errant' toes are separated, there is less stress on my foot. Hoping for miracles, longer-term, in realigning my foot with consistent wearing.
I love these shoes because they are very comfortable, they have an additional cushion without it being too much, it’s just enough. I’ve tried other brands and love these! I did purchase a black pair before this one, but a 1/2 size smaller. The size 7 fits much better.
These shoes are really amazing. They can't fix my hammer toe, but they sure make it easier to walk!
Honesty!!! My cousin had a pair on! I literally told her those were the goofiest shoes I’ve ever seen!!! Tried hers on and was like wow I like! Bought my own and WOW I love! My toes always hurt bc they stayed so cramped in my normal shoes and it’s like my feet can breathe!!! Will buy more
I loved my barefoot shoes, I love using them for walking and going to the gym. Honestly, when I lift weights I feel all my toes working almost as if I were barefoot.
Sock wears good
