Really comfortable!

These are very comfortable shoes that very gently keep the toes a bit splayed and I have had a lot less cramping in my feet. I have enjoyed wearing these for strength group training at the gym (nice and low to the ground) as well as for walking and daily wear.

Happy Feet

I enjoy walking more with my new Peluva shoes. I believe my feet get a better exercise when I'm walking and not just my legs.

life changing!

I have only worn them twice. First of all when it says to size up, listen! I ordered a 7 and returned them after just trying to get them on my feet. I always wear a 7 in every shoe. I sent them back and got the 7.5 and they fit perfect. My left foot is loving the new adventure. My right foot not so much. I am having pain in my second toe. This is not the shoes fault, it is my foot and the way my toes are crammed together after years of point shoes and bad shoes in general! I made it through both of my workouts and treadmill walks with them and my foot warms into the position after a few minutes of arguing. I already feel muscles in my legs I haven't used while working out or walking! I am very much looking forward to my feet after wearing them for 6 month, a year or forever! I will never workout in another shoe, barefoot is the way of life!!!

Thank you, Tanya, for your detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear how these shoes are already making a difference in your workouts and foot health. Sizing up can definitely make all the difference for a perfect fit, and we’re glad the 7.5 worked out for you. It’s great to know your left foot is loving the new adventure and that your right foot is beginning to adjust too—those muscles waking up is such a promising sign! Here’s to many more workouts and steps toward stronger, healthier feet! 😊

Peluva Trainers

Very comfortable. After hearing Mark 's podcast I decided to train at home barefooted. I am a Fitness Instructor/Trainer so decided to continue this in the form of a minimalist shoe. This shoe is very comfortable. There was no getting used to it, tried it on and I was good to go. Thanks Mark!

Love the Women’s Strand Lightweight Trainer!

The sneakers are comfortable and easy to put on. I was diagnosed with arthritis of the big toe and the surgeon wanted to fuse the joint. I have been religiously wearing the sneakers and they give great support to the big toe joint. My feet are getting stronger and the pain is significantly reduced.

So far I like these a lot

So I have had for a week. I have been walking several miles in them (with the socks) outside on blacktop and no problems at all. It was very comfortable. I even jogged a bit and they were still fine. they were warm enough as well with the socks in 40ish F degree weather which I was worried about. Not sure about in the 30s - waiting for a nice enough day. I have also done several functional training workouts in them and all is good. I prefer them to regular workout shoes as I have noticed less chance of turning my ankle and nice for balance training. They have enough grip that no sliding as well.

Loving the shoes

My wife was having problems with her feet. These shoes gave the opportunity of separating her toes. She has been enjoying her work outs. She recently had surgery and she will be using her shoes to aid in her recovery regiment.

Good buy

Happy so far- hope it helps my foot strength in the long run. I’m a believer. These shoes make sense. Side note on sizing- I’m a 7 and got a 7.5, very comfortable and fit great.

Life changing

Absolutely love them.! I swear I feel like I'm barefoot but I'm not. I have better overall balance in the gym since I'm feeling all of my toes spreading out. Especially when doing my cool down yoga. Huge game changer 🙌🏾.

Love these shoes!

I love these shoes because it relieves pain from my heel, but I'm hoping Peluva will come out with the all black for women as well!

Toes are meant to be separated! :-)

The socks and shoes of Peluva are super fun and cool. My toes are freed after being smooshed in toe boxes too small to let my toes feel empowered.

Great barefoot shoe!!

I’m a physio and live in the gym for my job. I recently got Peluva shoes, and I can confidently say they live up to the hype! These shoes truly allow your feet to spread freely, unlike traditional footwear that often constricts the midfoot and toes. The cushioning strikes a perfect balance as a quality barefoot shoe that still looks cool. It provides enough support for walking on hard surfaces without sacrificing that essential ground feel. I’ve worn them for long periods, and they’ve quickly become my go-to choice. If you’re looking for a shoe that prioritizes comfort and allows for natural foot movement, I highly recommend giving Peluva a try!! Size up half a size as they run slightly smaller.

Sprinting with ease!

Best show ever! I’m loving that I can actually sprint for the first time in 25 years!

Grateful!

I think they are AMAZING!! My toes are still getting adjusted to being able to put them on with ease. Some days it takes a minute for my toes to adjust to the feeling once on, but when they do it's as if I don't have shoes on. I feel SO light footed! Not only is it a great feeling but my feet are protected from the elements which makes it even better! I would absolutely love to see your re-creation of a true snow boot type, one that's water resistant and gives snow a run for its money for us folks who live in the northern areas that tend to see more snow during the winter months. Looking forward to trying out more of your incredible footwear!

Loving them so far!

Definitely lightweight! So easy to walk in. I used the sizing guide and helping process to find the right fit. Enjoying them so far. Just make sure you order socks if you're a sock person!!!

My Peluva, my therapy and comfort

I always use it! And friends and strangers ask me about them. Bought 3 more pairs for friends and they love it too!

Pleasantly surprised

I have several foot issues with Morton’s neuroma being the worst of them. I have been wearing orthopedic shoes for about three years now. While watching YouTube I came across the “stayflexy” guy and noticed his Peluvas. I started reading up on the minimalist shoes and the science behind it made sense so I decided to order a pair. I have had them for a week now and have noticed that the last couple of days I’ve had no burning in my toes!!!! Hoping over time that they will help to strengthen my feet. Thinking about getting another pair.

I Finally Got It Right!

I am a true women’s size 8 1/2. I opted to order a half a size up as recommended, so first ordered a 9. The toes were just too short. So I returned for a 9 1/2, and even those were too short! I thought maybe this shoe is not for me, but opted to try again with a size 10 , and voila! They work! After just two wears they feel very comfortable. The first time felt awkward just because my toes weren’t acclimated, but after the second outing, they really feel great. I use them as my sprinting shoes and I have no pain or soreness in my feet the next day. Very comfortable. And very happy!

Made a difference

Loved them! I was skeptical in the Beginning but after wearing them a week, I’m hooked. I won’t buy anything else to workout in.

Love them. Had to go up a full size.

These shoes make my feet so happy. I’m a delivery person. I used to wear my regular shoes to work and then change on the route (because these are VERY different looking); but I love them so much I don’t bother anymore. I originally ordered these for balance. I’m an inherently clumsy person. I truly believe that since I have more control over my toes that they help. It could all be in my head but I haven’t fallen once since I started wearin them. I originally ordered 1/2 size up but ended up going up one full size. I have long toes. I’m that girl who picks things up off the floor with my toes when I’m bare foot.
