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.

Very comfortable, except for the heel collar

If your second toe is your longest, order a full size larger than what the foot scanning app measures. The app apparently measures for a foot where the big toe is longest. The Strand is very comfortable and is overall a beautiful shoe. The issue is that the top center of the heel collar has a bump that caused a red mark on my ankle after wearing for just a few minutes inside. After reading the review about the shoe rubbing a bleeding blister from the exact same defect, it confirmed to me that the same outcome would be inevitable. I will unfortunately be returning the Strand. I am hopeful that in a year or so Peluva will resolve this issue with the heel collar so I can give this shoe another try. I was disappointed with this issue because the shoe was otherwise incredibly comfortable and perfect in every other way. I did keep my Zen Suede Slip-On, which is my favorite shoe I own. Due to the material, there is no heel collar issue and it is amazingly comfortable.

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.

I am happy with the shoes.

Thank you. I have worn them daily walking. I do have blisters above my heels and so have to wear band aids.

My cure

Love these! They fit so right snug and just like a brace they're holding my big toes in the alignment they oughtta be in. I can feel tiny muscles in my feet getting their little workouts they've needed. I really feel like these'll fix my feets. Thank you peluva! And the stay flexy guy advertising them.
