Another one—thank you!!
I had my eyes on a pair for a couple months and finally pulled the trigger after way too many targeted adds cornered me via social media lol. I cross-trained in a competitor’s brand years ago and, while they had a good run (literally and figuratively), the soles wore out as they were pretty thin. As a professional dancer and aerialist, I’m a pretty active person. Since purchasing, I’ve worn these to the studio, the gym, and everywhere in between! They provide me with just enough cushion for alllll the pushing I do while cross-training throughout the week. I’ll definitely be buying more again soon!!
Thanks, Alex! Love that they’re keeping up with your active lifestyle. Appreciate you giving them a shot!

Love them!
First time wearing shoes of this kind. Love the feel I have to the ground. Very comfortable. At first one toe on one foot did not fit so perfectly but now after a couple of wears it feels great.
Have just used for walking so far and looking forward to taking them into the gym.
Love that, Glenn! Glad they’re helping power up your squats. Appreciate the feedback!

Love the peluvas
This shoes allows you to use every part of the foot. The crucial parts the rest of your body needs to function properly. Legs, back, core, posture all being limited by shoes that crunch your feet and don’t allow for the foot to function naturally. The peluva is revolutionary. I’ll always have a pair.
We love hearing this, Deangelo! So glad you’re feeling the benefits. Thanks for being part of the Peluva community.

I love these shoes!
I’d been wearing them for a few hours each day to break them in and get my toes and calves stretched out. This morning was my first 3-mile walk/jog. This has totally changed my gait from being a heel striker (causing knee and hip issues) , to a mid-strike. Also my toes are starting to straighten out and my feet becoming the foundation they were meant to be. I’ll definitely be ordering more.
Amazing update, Mark! Great to hear how they’ve improved your gait and comfort, keep enjoying those walks!

Great shoes
Love the feel of the shoes. I had to exchange the first pair I got because I ordered one size too small. Customer service was quick to help and the exchange process was easy.
Thanks, Daniel! Glad the shoes feel great and that our team made the exchange process smooth for you.

great invention
I had seen these shoes a while ago but I was skeptical about them (and to be honest they looked weird too). But i can't be happier with them. They run small, definitely size up when purchasing. My feet are way happier and they run cooler too (i always had an issue with my feet sweating). Note that I'm wearing them with the special socks offered by Peluva so i can't speak to sockless experience.
Thanks, Farzad! So glad you gave them a shot and that your feet are happier, great tip on sizing up.

perfect balance of minimal and padding
These are like if you took old Altra escelantes and smashed them with vibram barefoot vrun and they are amazing. You get flexible 5 finger shoes the have just enough cushion to make them wearable on asphalt.
I wore vrun's for years and switch to Altra's because I needed slightly more cushion but was never happy. These hit the sweet spot.
They fit your feet snug like a glove and they are a pleasure to wear. We will see how they fair in the winter which is normally the place where 5 finger shoes stop working. But for all other seasons these will be my go to shoes from now on.
Glad to hear they’re feeling great, David! It definitely takes a little adjusting, but sounds like you’re getting the hang of it.

Awkward and Wonderful
I’ve been wearing my Peluva shoes for a couple of days now and I love them. I’ve worn barefoot shoes before and they’re very unforgiving on asphalt and concrete surfaces. Peluva has just enough cushion to protect against the urban terrain, yet remains flexible and comfortable.
The only drawback back for me is they run on the smaller side, which Peluva did still have a size large enough for me. And also getting the right type of socks. I didn’t order the Peluva brand, which is something I’m going to look into. The wrong type of sock will definitely through of the entire feel of the shoe because of the toes. My toes are a bit longer than the socks I have, which causes pressure between my toes. Definitely try the shoe with and without socks so you can determine the best feel for yourself
Thanks for the thoughtful review, Donald! We’re glad you’re enjoying the balance of cushion and flexibility, great point about trying different socks for the best feel.

Walk Walk Walk
My new walking shoes are so cool!! I used to walk in running shoes and after a while my feet would start to ache. Now every where I go on foot its only Peluvas for me.
Thanks, Steven! Love that they’ve become your go-to for walking, awesome to hear your feet are happier now.

Awesome shoe!
I love my new Peluva Strand Sport Mesh shoes with the cool surf spray color!
They fit just slightly snugger but that may change as I break them in.
They’re easy to get on and feel great on my Shrek feet! Thanks Mark!!!
Thanks for the shout-out, Michael! We’re thrilled your new Strands are working well, “Shrek feet” and all! They should loosen up just a bit as you break them in. Enjoy the ride!

Great combination
These shoes offer a very nice balance between achieving a solid toe spread and yet also providing a supportive sole and foot support.
Thanks for the thoughtful review, David. We’re glad the Strand Sport Mesh is giving you both the toe freedom and support you were looking for. Great to hear they’re helping with alignment too!

My favorite pair juat order them 1/2 size too large and just purchased a smaller size
Thanks for the feedback, Ramon! We love hearing that the Strand Sport Mesh held up strong during your lifts. Great choice for CrossFit, sounds like you’re putting them to excellent use.

Natural Feel!
These shoes feel great to walk in, even on concrete. I can feel them re-aligning my toes and joints, so it's a bit of an adjustment period. But so far so good! Very excited to see how this affects my posture and overall health over time.
Appreciate the thoughtful review, Jerome! That adjustment period you’re feeling is exactly what many people experience as their feet begin to move more naturally. Keep us posted on how things progress, we’re excited for you.

Game changer
I was a bit skeptical when I first bought them, but after the first wear, I’m sold! The feel and build of these shoes is awesome.
Claude, love hearing the Strand Sport Mesh won you over after just one wear! And we’re thrilled the socks are hitting the mark too. Appreciate the support!

Awakened to a new reality…
After spending literally thousands on each, insoles and comfortable shoes over the years, I decided to trust The Sisson and it paid off. Feeling so much better these days wearing Peluva’s and laughing at the foolishness of my Hoka’s that now await the donation box.
Sizing is a bit different with these, so I wound up returning my 14’s (former running size) and now have one each, 15 & 16. I wear socks with the 16’s and go without socks for the 15’s.
No more painful toe boxes for me!
Daniel, we love hearing that Peluvas brought that “aha” moment for your feet! Huge thanks for trusting the switch, you nailed the sizing strategy too. Enjoy the freedom!

Men’s and women’s Strand Sport Mesh
Great product. The shoe size for me and my wife had to be two sizes larger than our normal shoe size. Keep that in mind and that will help you to make less returns because sizing estimates are not realistic. Mark how did you size your shoes?
Ronald, thanks for the sizing heads-up, we hear you! Sizing up is definitely key with our five-toe fit. Appreciate you and your wife rolling with the adjustments.

Exactly as Advertised
Happy with the purchase, I'll probably buy another pair to have a different color. Feet/ankles hurt after a long day of wear (healthcare) but that's probably good to strengthen the tissues that haven't been worked in years
Trinity, glad to hear everything went smoothly and the shoes are living up to expectations. That foot and ankle soreness is part of the adjustment, it means your muscles are waking up again.

Shoe size is very important.\n With the shoes. Hi
The man strand sport mesh we're a little tight at first I wear a 9 and a 1/2 and I had to send them back to get a size 10. Then
I ordered the blue. Sport mesh in a size 10 and a 1/2, and it feels a lot better.
Jerome, glad you found the right size, thanks for sticking with it! Sizing up is definitely the way to go with the Sport Mesh, especially for that perfect barefoot feel.

I am getting used to them. Definitely feel barefoot with cushion.
Natasha, glad to hear you’re easing into that barefoot-with-cushion feel! The adjustment period is totally normal, and it sounds like you’re on the right track.
