My favorite Peluva shoes, and now in Black!

These are my favorite Peluva shoes, I had two pair but when the black ones became available I ordered another. I like having a bit more "grip" on the bottom, and I LOVE the new lacing system. I've got almost every different design of Peluva shoes (for men) so I can evaluate the different models under various conditions.

Awesome to hear, William! Glad you’re enjoying the extra grip and updated lacing. Your detailed comparisons are incredibly valuable.

Game changer

These are awesome. I’ve been wearing them everyday since I got them! No issues! A little expensive but well worth it. Just make sure you buy half a size up for socks and shoes as they recommend.

Best barefoot shoe I've tried

As a former owner of Vibrams, Vivobarefoot, and Xero shoes, these are the best for me.

2nd pair

I love these! I saw people say how comfortable they were. My first pair I did not size up. They were a bit to snug. I got these a half size up and they fit perfectly. I see what people mean when they say these are the most comfortable shoes they have worn! My feet are feeling better, no more blisters, cuts and sore arches and heals!

So glad the second pair was the perfect fit, John. It’s great to hear your feet are feeling better—no more blisters or sore arches is a win in our book!

Superb Tennis Shoe

I’m currently recovering from a stroke and am about 6 months into my recovery. The Men’s Strand ATR shoes have been a game-changer for me. They provide great stability and support, and I genuinely feel more confident and balanced when walking. Since wearing them, my gait feels smoother and my overall walking has improved. Comfortable, well-made, and truly helpful during my recovery. Highly recommend.

Amazing

Most comfortable shoe I’ve ever owned. Worth the extra minutes it takes to put them on.

Response from Peluva

Appreciate the feedback, Charles. It definitely takes a little time to adjust, but once you do, that toe freedom is a game changer! Thanks for giving them a try.

Verified Buyer

Much more comfortable than I thought!

Honestly, I would like to see a future design where the toes are covered, but still separated underneath. That's just a style thing, though. Overall these shoes have been a game changer for me. I love Mark Sisson and anything he puts his name on, I know I can trust. That man has changed my life in so many ways. Thanks for doing this! Looking forward to where it goes from here.

New favorite shoe.

I've been using the shoe for walking, hiking, and for any opportunity to wear them. The shoe is so light and comfortable to wear for running errands. It's taken some time to be able to "slip" them on without having to push and pull my toes into their appropriate toe sleeves but once on it's great. I've noticed that my feet, though sore after a 10+ mile walk/hike it is nothing like when I was wearing traditional shoes like New Balance or Salomons as well as a pair of water shoes that were OK but not as comfortable for long walks. I now have two pair of Peluvas, one Strand and now my Strand ATR.

Me ‘s Strand ATR

My favorite shoes! I wear these all day long both inside and outside the house. They are great for working out in as well as chilling out in the house. I will need to get a pair of slip ons for around the house eventually. I normally wear a 10.5 W so I ordered and 11 and they fit great.

John, we love hearing that the Strand ATR is your go-to for everything from workouts to lounging. Great call on sizing up for the wide fit, and we agree, adding a pair of slip-ons for inside use sounds like a solid next step!

Mens Strand ATR

The shoe you've been looking for! The perfect combination of vibrams and a CrossFit shoe. For those of you that run on concrete/ rocks and do olympic lifting these are the best shoe I've been able to find.

Response from Peluva

That’s exactly what we love to hear, Christopher. A shoe that holds up on concrete and under a barbell is no small feat. We’re glad the Strand ATR is fitting your training style.

Best ever

I absolutely love these shoes! I have a couple pair of Vibrams and these Pelicans shoes are head and shoulder above my other shoes! I tell people constantly that these are the very best most comfortable shoes I’ve owned!

That’s amazing to hear, Stephen. We’re thrilled you find your Peluvas more comfortable than your Vibrams and proud to be your favorite shoe. Thanks for spreading the word!

I bought these shoes, but they were too big. Peluva was very QUICK in respoding to me, and able to exhange them for a smaller size. The replacement shoes fit GREAT. Even without toe socks!! I’m excited to wear them to the gym tomorrow morning!!

insanely comfortable

i can barely tell I'm actually wearing shoes. after 2 weeks of wearing them i noticed that the shoe was fixing the alignment of my pinky toe, before it was always tucked under the others now it rests next to them. I've noticed my balance has gotten better and my back hurts less. reasonable price as well. i love the shoes but i don't recommend these for snow.
