Moving from vibram to peluva

After having twenty something vibrams it was hard to make a switch, but I was looking for some different styles and a thicker soul to keep me out of the elements. Peluva offered me exactly that.... some new styles and a more wearable shoe with the same toe first idea. Absolutely love them!

Love hearing this, Aaron! Thanks for giving Peluva a shot after all those Vibrams. Glad the thicker sole and new style hit the mark for you while still keeping that barefoot feel.

Thanks so much, Shahid! That’s the kind of love we love to hear, nothing better than a second pair of PELUVAs in your rotation 😄

Verified Buyer

I think they're great 👍🏽😁

So far I've worn them on walks and I've worked out in them. They feel great and are surprisingly comfortable. I plan on wearing them instead of my slides. I need a second pair.

Appreciate the awesome review, Shahid! Glad to hear they’re working well for walks and workouts. Sounds like your slides might be officially retired! 👏

Excellent - Foundation Restoring

Love these shoes - have always been a barefoot wearer but toe divides are next level. I can feel more activation in the foot and more relief in my low back and other extremities as result. When your body carries the work that your feet are supposed to be doing - your back, knees, and other joints pay the price. Happy to be gaining passive relief by just wearing these shoes. When I purchased - I only size checked one of my feet ( the smaller one, so match sure to size check both feet because one foot of mine is bigger than the other). The replacement process was so easy and seamless and the updated size feels incredible on both feet.

Liking my pair!

The shoe was hard to get on at first but after a few days of breaking them in they slide on relatively easy. I am liking the shoe. Comfortable for sure. Thinking of getting rid of all my normal shoes because they all feel terribly uncomfortable in comparison. About two weeks in now of wearing them daily and all is well! Felt a little sore in my calves and the muscles in my feet the first four days or so but that has faded now. Great shoes! Quality seems good so far.

The Most Comfortable Shoes I’ve Ever Worn – I'm Obsessed!

I’ve tried a lot of athletic shoes, and some wide-toe box shoes, but nothing compares to Peluvas. These are hands down the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. They’re perfect for everything: running, boxing, lifting, walking, and just everyday wear. I even find myself wearing them around the house because they’re that comfortable. The sole is the perfect balance—thick enough to cushion walking on concrete, but still lightweight and flexible so they never feel bulky. I also have to say, they’re surprisingly stylish for a minimalist shoe. I’ve already gotten two other people hooked on them! I honestly thought it would take me longer to adjust to the toe separation, but I got used to them quickly, and now I don’t even want to wear anything else. Get a size larger than you usually wear. I'm a size 9, and the 9.5 was ok, but the size 10 is perfect. I initially bought them because I was dealing with foot pain, and I’m thrilled to say that pain is now almost completely gone. If your feet are hurting or you're just looking for the most versatile, comfortable, functional shoe—you have to try Peluvas. Total game changer.

Light Weight & Comfy

At first it took me a little while to get my toes separated, but very comfortable to wear. My knees feel better after wearing for one day. It's getting easier to slide my feet in now. Well worth my purchase!

Perfect for drumming! Also perfect for daily wear!

Title says it all! As a drummer, these feel amazing and responsive for kick-pedals! 10/10 recommend!

Loving these shoes!

I was developing bunions and having major toe cramping almost every night. The toe cramping has been reduced by 95%. My feet really like these shoes. I used to take my shoes off as soon as I walked in the house but I’ve been leaving them on for a while when I walk in the door.

So glad to hear your feet are feeling better, Nancy! It’s awesome that the cramping has eased and you’re finding them so comfortable you keep them on at home.

Wonderful

My first pair and they feel great. As expected, initially my feet got tired quickly-using different muscles, that was expected. After awhile they are comfortable as can be. I love them.

Thanks, Gloria! So glad to hear you’re loving your first pair. That early foot fatigue is totally normal, your feet are waking up new muscles. Sounds like you’re adjusting beautifully!

LOVE&HATE

I am 80 years old and live in Australia. I love wearing my Peluva’s. The hate comes from not being able to make eye contact with most folks. They are captivated looking down at my shoes.

This is amazing, Thomas! We love that your Peluvas are turning heads, even if it means sacrificing a little eye contact. Thanks for rocking them all the way from Australia!

The Best

I can’t express enough how much these bad boys have changed my fitness game. Extremely comfortable, the wonderful feeling of being barefoot without actually being barefoot. Improved the strength in my ankles, calves and legs in general. I’ll never wear anything else!!

I LOVE THESE SHOES!

I wanted some Peluvas after hearing about them from Shawn Stevenson on his podcast. As I've gotten older I have started having more foot problems and I realized I could do better for my feet with my shoes. I wear my Peluvas as much as I can. I started slow to get used to them but it didn't take long. They are very comfortable and easy to put on!

Great Fit!

I originally bought these socks to wear with my new Peluva shoes but quickly learned that I didn't want to wear socks in the Peluvas. Instead I wear the socks in other shoes. They took a short time to get used to and now I don't really feel them. They're great!

5 Stars

It’s been a while since I used shoes like this; I used vibrams years ago, these are so much more comfortable. I havent taken them to the gym yet but I’ve done some rucking and it feels amazing. There are very few times when I’m so satisfied with a purchase, this is one of them.

Great new competitor

I have been wearing shoes like this since 2008. I've seen and tried many different companies that have come and gone with these designs. These shoes have an amazing design and feel more well-made than most others I have had in the past 17 years.
