I love my peluva shoes. At first the sizing was funky and my toes hurt but I have chronic knee problems and back aches, and this week my body has felt amazing. I feel like I can run a mile (which I've never done) my deformity in my knees normally causes issues with pain and cramping and these shoes have truly solved that issue!
Great shoe. Performs well.
I love them I only wear peluva at this point! I have CP and foot drop on my left side and because of these shoes my feet and ankles are stronger and I am not having as many issues with my feet and ankles. I also on my left foot my big toe is lifting and crossing over my second toe causing blisters and callouses I no longer have blisters , callouses because my toes are separated therefore my foot does not hurt! I would recommend these shoes to anyone that is thinking about trying them
First, I have to say that I initially ordered a size that ended up being too small. The process to return them and the ability to email with an actual person - mad props. The person communicating with me asked me several questions to make sure they were able to make the best recommendation for my new size. The return process could absolutely not have been easier. You have a customer for life - and I will be telling all of my friends how amazing you are. In the days of bots - Peluva definitely stands out. Please don't ever go to bots!
It’s super comfortable but it takes me a long time to put it on
I was sceptical at first but the shoes are great! It takes a bit to get all the toes into the separate slots but once you do, they slip right in. These shoes are comfortable and you really do feel like you're walking barefoot.
I ended up a full size above my normal shoe size, for bare for wear. I'm so glad I got these & just ordered a pair of the slip on's & a pair of the stand ATR that are a size bigger for with socks. My feet are loving the feel & the toe pain I have (at 60) is much better in just a week. Give them a try.... You'll love them!!!
These shoes are very light weight. It takes a few wearings to open toes inside, making putting them on, easier.
Too small. Need to return .Otherwise cute
I love these shoes I got a size up and they seem to feel great, after 30mins/1hour they seem too small - when working out or walking. Hopefully it’s just because I’m still breaking them in. I feel better overall wearing them. I love the look, the comfort of it. (beside when they do start to feel tingly.)
Love these shoes
Wasn’t sure what to expect but very comfortable so far! A little tricky getting my toes in at first, but third time wearing them they feel like they’re molding to my feet and only takes a minute or two to get the toes in the right positioning. I have early stage big toe bunion discomfort, starting on my left foot which has now dissipated since wearing these for my evening walks..
I lift and walk in them and it feels good to have my toes stretch out. I definitely feel more stable in big lifts. My only complaint is the laces get uneven everytime I wear them I have to readjust them and the quality of the laces is just sub par to the rest of the shoe.
My son is a big fan and introduced these shoes to me. We are on a quest to build a solid foundation our athletic endeavors and these shoes provide just that . I know I’ll be wearing this brand well into my old age.
Best shoes ever! People always stop me and ask about them. At first, getting them on was a little challenging, but once you break them in, they slip right on. I bought my husband 2 pairs and he loves them too. I can’t wait to get the red and light blue ones.
They were a little hard to get on it first and I realized the size was a little too small so I had to size up and I'm sure glad I did I'm usually a 9 and had to get a 10 but once I got them no issues with return and received my shoes right away they feel amazing I love them me and my granddaughter went for a walk along the river and they were perfect didn't hurt me or anything I'd love to get them in all colors but they're so expensive.
Great purchase my bunions do not hurt at all. I can run walk through my go to shoe when I’m at home. Can’t wait to get another pair to wear at work.
At first I was sceptical. Experienced a little ankle pain at first. After a couple of days, the pain went away. I truly loves these shoes! Peluva only from here on out! Thank you for making such an amazing shoe!
I work in the medical field and would wear these for 12 hours a day and would run up and down 4 flights of stairs for it was faster than the elevators. I worked on the top floor of a hospital for 4 years. I would push/pull (patients, equipment), assist patients to(stand, sit, lay down transfer), take labs, paperwork you name it for a night shift nursing assistant. If something needed to be found or moved I normally would be the one they would call for I would get it done in a timely matter. Depending on which unit and or assignment I was working i would do in a given day 7k(sitting shift)-45k (progressive care unit <PCU>) steps in on day or shift. The other factor was If I was on the code team. This is the only shoe I would recommend! Saying I was on my feet was an understatement when I was at work. The only down falls I had with these shoes (which is funny when you think about it), is 1) I had to put an insert in (toeless ones) due to how much I would walk in a day, and 2) that I would get oxygen tubes and or iv lines caught in between my toes. (No I never pulled them out or off of a patient) due to how they are made I could feel everything every time they got passed the tip of the toes. I also noticed I would not drag my feet like I did in other shoes. I could keep up with my coworker who was 6'5" as we raced to codes. I would have to say the funnies thing happened while I was wearing these shoes for I had a patient that was angry upset and just not having a good day for he was in the hospital. Lets face it who wants to be in the hospital, no one does most of the time the staff doesn't either. But i digress. I was helping the gentlemen to stand up for the first time after a procedure. He was in pain grumbling using choice words at me. He finally gets to the edge of the bed and I take a "stance" to get myself ready to help him stand up; shoulder width apart, one foot slightly forward, knees bent. He is holding the edge of the mattress looking at his feet. The patient saw my toes move, he jumped and said "What the ****". "Are you okay sir?" "What in the heck are you wearing on your FEET!" "Oh my toe Shoes? The Company is called Peluva, I love these things!" We ended up talking about my shoes and it distracted him enough from the pain to laugh as well as do what was needed to be done. That seem to be the turning point of his stay. The next night I came in to work, the day charge called me over and asked to see my shoes. She shook her head and laughed. I was told I was requested to work with a patient again for I made his stay better. A simple distraction and it worked wonders. I highly recommend, if not for comfort well maybe for an ice breaker to get a conversation going. I know it works for me.
I use them at the gym and it is the best balance and comfort I have had in a while. I did run with them, while I'm not a runner I was expecting joint pain after my run and I'm glad to say that I did not experience pain at all. I'm a peluva fan and consider myself converted :)
So, these are not like the trainers you are used to wearing. These are flexible to your foot and they feel great on! I love these knowing that I am protecting the physiology of my foot and therefore my knees, and my hips. It's all connected!! Start early in life with this and you can maybe avoid hip or knee replacement when you get older.
I was so excited on purchasing the most talked about shoe my friends and I lucked up on I have them and I’m still getting used to the new shoe
Best shoes ever
I have worn these Women's Strand Sport Mesh for almost 4 months now, and could not be happier! I have suffered from plantar fasciitis, a plantar fibroma, an early bunion, ankle sprains, knee arthritis, and tight hamstrings and lower back. Wearing these shoes, even after a few hours, seems to lessen all of these issues. The ability to splay the toes, moving them independently, allows me to really plant myself as I am doing weight lifting such as squats and single leg raises. I have walked and have run in them, with ease. The zero drop makes you feel like you are walking practically barefoot, allowing the calf to stretch appropriately. Running downhill in my Peluvas, I was able to grip the earth, and was able to run way faster than normal and not feel like I was going to trip or fall. I have even done yoga in my Peluvas, and it allowed me to stick in the deep poses better and helped my balance on poses where I normally slip a little. I have worn Peluvas to work in healthcare, and my patients say they look "cute," but I wear them for the comfort. My feet never ache at the end of the day. I really didn't have much of a "break-in" period as some have described, but maybe I am lucky. The only thing I wish were slightly different, is that the big toe slot were 1-2 mm wider, but I may just need to size up. I think my big toes may just be slightly larger that average, lol. They seem to stay pretty clean looking too, even after hiking in some dusty areas. Easy wet wash cloth and clean again. I bought them in the pretty light blue, but am considering getting them in black and perhaps the hiking style. The tennis court shoe is also catching my eye! They definitely look cuter with the no show socks or perhaps no socks at all, but I love crew socks, and the Peluva toe socks are working well.
