Perfect!

See my prior lengthy review. Love this footwear! Got them for walking, trail walking, hiking and work on my personal farm. I feel like they have assisted in correcting my alignment while walking. Learning curve on getting them on at first, took me a few tries. I’ve got it down now.

Perfect shoes for me.

I’m old and these are perfect for my balance and comfort. I now have purchased 3 pair. 1 is for working around the farm. 2nd is for casual semi-dress up like going to town and the 3rd pair is for wearing when I need a black pair. I did get a blister on one of my toes because I wore them without socks. Had to go back to regular tennis shoes till that heals and the difference is extremely noticeable in my confidence when walking. They may not be for all old timers . I love them and I have recommended to several friends because of the difference I feel in my control of balance when I walk. I’ve always been a barefoot gal. These allow me that and protection from a puncture or stone bruise when outside working. I had seen this type of shoe in the past and was not impressed with the quality/appearance of them. These are the first ones I ever tried on the recommendation of that FlexyGuy on YouTube. He is great and so are these shoes!!

Life Changing

I was a pedestrian struck by a car going 60mph in 1993. Since that time, after many surgeries and additions to my legs, I have struggled with foot pain since. In May 2025, I attended an AHIA conference where I meet someone wearing Peluva's. After the ergonomic professional explained what the shoes did, I immediately purchased some. I had to see if they made a difference. And they did! This year, I attended Carb Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway wearing a very expensive pair of running shoes. Half-way through the day, my feet hurt horribly, as I had become accustomed too. I got my Peluva's on Saturday, the day before the Indy 500. I wore my new shoes and had no pain whatsoever., despite walking an additional 5k steps more on Sunday then I did on Friday. Still haven't had any pain in my feet or legs. As my title suggests, these shoes represent a turning point in my life. Thank you!

Love my new Peluva Strand ATR shoes

I recently bruised my heel and was in tremendous pain, even using crutches to get around. While searching online for the MOST comfortable shoes, with the MOST cushion (because I never wanted to injure my heel like that again), I came across a video regarding barefoot shoes, and specifically Peluvas. I began listening to several videos regarding the importance of barefoot/minimalist shoes. So, I ordered my first pair of ATR’s. I had to send them back for a full size larger because I did not size up as so many had recommended. I have now worn my Peluvas for 3 days and I can say that I absolutely love them! There have been times when I forgot that I had them on and went to put on shoes! They are that comfortable! They feel so natural but yet my feet are completely protected in them. I have not used them yet for cardio, as my heel is still healing, but I hope to in the near future. I’m now telling my friends and family about them because I love them so much.

size 13 shoe

i’ve purchased the size 13, took me a few tries to get the shoe to fit com Comfortably on my foot. You know to alignment and stuff.. once I overcame that small hurdle. I was able to comfortably wear the shoe, first walking around the house for a few hours, then out and about running errands with no discomfort. Love the product.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Kenneth! We’re glad to hear you pushed through the initial adjustment and are now enjoying your Strand Lightweight Trainers comfortably. Toe alignment can take a little getting used to, but once it clicks, it really makes a difference. Appreciate your support!

Excellent shoe!

This is my first pair of five toe minimalist shoes. I have other minimalist shoes, but nothing compares to these shoes! My gait is much more natural and I have much less hip pain. I have a dysfunctional SI joint and I have zero pain when I wear these shoes. They are the best investment I have ever made!

I am saying goodbye to "orthopedic inserts"

These are great! I was told I must wear inserts, and I have been for years, but they don't help much. I decided to give these a try and instantly felt good on my feet. I use them on my walks an inside the house. I have renewed hope that my feet will get stronger.

most comfortable barefoot shoes

The Peluvas are my new favorite barefoot shoes. They are more comfortable than any other pair of shoes I own. My only quibble is that the shoelaces are a tad too long! Even though I double knot them and my rabbit loops are huge, they are still too long and sometime I end up stepping on a long stray shoelace with my other foot. Shortening the laces by a couple inches will make them perfect.

Response from Peluva

Thanks for sharing, April! We're so happy to hear Peluvas have become your new favorite barefoot shoes. We’ll definitely pass your feedback along to the product team. In the meantime, you might try tucking the loops or swapping in shorter laces for an even better fit.

Shoes are great but the shoelaces are a little too long, even when double knotted. Shortening shoelaces by a couple inches will make them perfect.

Be patient with the process

I am really excited about these shoes but getting them fitted perfectly for me was a task and took about 3 weeks all together so just be patient and enjoy 😊

Enjoying them

When I finally got the right fit, I'm thoroughly enjoying them. I'd go a half size up from their recommendation although another pair I chose needed a full size up so just be patient with the process. My knees already say thank you.

So comfortable

I initially ordered a half size bigger and it was too big so I sent them back and got a size 8 and the fit is perfect. It takes time at first to get these on because of the toe pockets but over time it should get easier.

comfortable

I wondered how the first day would go with having had previous foot issues and trying to prevent them from becoming painful. The first day has been great! Can't wait to see how this effects the rest of my body. The recommended size up by 1/2 size is definitely needed

Glad these were offered

I was so glad these were offered free with my purchase. I think the shoes would have been harder to put on without them until I am used to wearing these new type of shoes
