Amazing shoes!

I ordered a size 10 and needed a 10.5. First, the customer service was outstanding. Quick exchange and I got my shoes. I’ve worn Five Fingers for years and this is nice change. Peluva fits like a glove and if you’re someone new to “toe shoes” this shoe is a great one to start with. There is comfort and support throughout. The padding is soft and its improved my walking and those micro muscles! I walk about 60-80 miles a month depending. *I wore the pad of the shoe down to a hole after 4 months! I reached out wondering my options as I love the shoes but expected more time and was unsure if I should purchase again. PELUVA SENT ME A REPLACEMENT PAIR. Look people I have worked in customer service for years- I did not expect that. I was looking for an option on another shoe they offer or maybe some sort of 20% off. No they went above and beyond, it’s a one time courtesy and I am so grateful. They also informed me about some other styles that have thicker bottoms. I will be choosing one of those options in the future (Strand ATR and Strand Golf).

Love them!

I absolute love these socks! They are super comfortable and soft. I bought some on Amazon and they were so thin and cheaply made I returned them. These socks sit right above the shoe line on the ankle and feel so luxurious. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed.

My shoes

Very comfortable but it took me some times to put on because I have crooked big toes due to I have big bunions. I bought the shoes througg a relative who was in the USA in July. I live in Sain where you don't sell them.

Light, Natural, and Toe-Freedom Approved

These shoes feel like walking barefoot—each toe moves freely, and that really reduces foot fatigue. Super light, breathable, and comfortable for 5–6 hours. Not the best for rocky hikes (your feet will feel it), but perfect for everyday wear. I prefer them over regular sneakers. Bonus: I’ve had people do double takes thinking I’m barefoot—yep, they’re that natural-looking! 😄

Amazing!

Honestly thought it was gonna be a while before I got used to them but after just a couple times wearing them I literally don’t wanna wear regular shoes anymore. Can’t wait to order more pairs!

Spread them toes

Like the concept and everything for helping the little piggys. Worn wide toe box shoes. First time having these and will be using them on my upcoming half marathon run (trail run). Pretty stoked. The suggested sizing was small but the process for exchanging them is fast though. No complaints. Can't wait to try them on the run!

Life-changing shoes!

I'm a Peluva CONVERT! I've been working on my foot health and balance as one main focus of my health in 2025. I have Morton's neuromas on both feet. At the beginning of '25, my feet were flat, bunions were re-emerging after surgery to have them removed from both feet in 2006, and my right toes would get a tingling sensation of painful pins and needles after walking just one mile. I started watching Courtney Conley talk about earth shoes and barefoot shoes. I now own several Xero earth shoes, Vivo Barefoot shoes, vibram five fingers and now Peluvas. Each shoe has served it's purpose in allowing my feet to splay, move and expand with each step. But omg... Peluva is winning for me among these brands! I now own 3 pairs of Peluvas - - the lightweight strand trainer, the mesh sports trainer and the strand ATR Peluvas. I can walk for MILES and MILES and Miles (and do so daily) in these shoes without *any* foot pain! I feel like Peluvas have given me back my ability to walk! - I am almost making myself cry thinking about how much better my life is now that I'm able to not only walk 5-7 miles a day, but I can do it with a weighted vest! I will add that I still need a thin metatarsal insert to help support my Morton's neuromas but this is an issue unique to me. It did require a break-in period for me, but I feel my foot issues are quite extensive, so everyone's mileage my vary here.

Pelicans nailed it!

I have worn barefoot shoes, wide toebox for two years now and loved it. However, I always noticed a feeling of being somewhat tired and my lower back calf muscle. When I got up and walked around, it always took a few seconds to get going and get rid of that pain. This is my first pair of toe shoes. I’m here to tell you within 30 minutes of walking in the shoes that pain disappeared and it stayed gone. I find it a little tricky to get my toes in the right spot and even harder to put it on the toe socks lol I’m only 48 so no I’m not that old that I can’t do it. I love my shoes looking to buy another pair from Peluva soon. Thanks for helping me out Peluva!

Love this, Teofil! We’re thrilled to hear your first pair of toe shoes made such a difference. Getting the toes in can be tricky at first, but sounds like you’ve got it down. Thanks for the kind words!

Verified Buyer

Amazing!

I received mine today and what a difference they make! I love having each toe move independently. It takes a bit to figure out how to get each toe where it goes, but it will become easier. I sized up a full size. I am normally a 9 and I took a 10. Don't be afraid to go up in size. I'm telling all my friends and family about these. My new favorite shoe.

Great socks

They feel so weird when first trying them on, but the strangeness passes in just a few minutes. Won't ever go back!

Best shoes I’ve ever worn!

For years I struggled with finding good toe shoes that would match my needs and be good enough to use on a day to day basis, but Peluva took that problem away. This is my second pair I’ve bought In the last month and I wear them almost all day, everyday. Extremely comfortable, super easy to wash and take care of, incredibly easy to take on and off unlike other brands, and they look amazing. I get compliments in my gym and in the dojo for how minimalist and clean they look, which seems rare for a style of shoe that isn’t exactly common to see yet. One problem I see with these shoes is the bottom of the toe seems to be peeling just slightly. This hasn’t affected performance or comfortability, however I’ve only had them for about two weeks, so it can be an issue down the line. Only thing I do wish every shoe came with was the nice shoe box… yeah you read that right. My first pair came in a shoe box that was basically a pull out drawer that I could stack in my closet. A super convenient and nice addition to these shoes. When the second pair came with a standard shoe box I was a bit disappointed, so I hope they change this in the future so that all shoes come with it! Absolutely love these shoes, 10/10 for me, I will be purchasing a lot more in the future.

fun shoe

Fun shoe to wear. My normal shoes are 9.5 to 10 and they say on their website to order one size larger. I ordered a 10 thinking i was more like a 9. I do wish I had ordered an 11 as the long toe beside the big toe feels a bit scrunched. The other four toes fit great. When I order another shoe I will do size 11. Lining up the toes is fun! In a regular shoe I probably turn my toes out - for these i recommend turning your toes in - once the 2nd toe is lined up the other three move into place quite easily.
