Strand ATR
I really appreciate you for making these barefoot shoes. I suffer from planterfaciualitst and doctor recommended i ware a barefoot shoe so thats all i waer now. They feel like a sneaker and not like putting on a shoesock and the way they feel on my feet I can't complain. Really nice shoe and I will definitely be picking up another pair.
It’s fantastic to hear the shoes are helping with your plantar fasciitis. Your comfort and support are our top priorities - we’re so glad you found the right pair for everyday wear!

Best Minimalist Shoe
I’ve previously used another minimalist shoe years ago that is popular but as I have aged I wanted some cushioning. As a physical therapist, I can appreciate my Peluva shoe giving me that cushioning yet maintaining strong, proprioceptive contact with the ground. I wear them first thing in the morning and take them off before bed. To be honest, I didn’t think I would be enjoying at how comfortable they are. If I were to critique them, I would ask for another tongue shoelace loop closer to the end to reduce slippage. Otherwise, I wear no other shoe in home or going out. I get a ton of compliments and frequent questions. I’m pleased to talk about them. I plan on getting another pair for a Christmas present to me. These shoes were well thought out in creating them.
We really appreciate the detailed feedback, Chris. It’s encouraging to hear how well the shoes support both your professional and daily needs. Your note about the shoelace loop is also valuable - thanks for sharing that!

Amazing!
These shoes are amazing! Took a couple of days to get my pinky toes into position without some effort, but it was worth a little patience. Did some neighborhood hikes (2-4 miles) over the first couple of weeks. Tackled the Manitou Incline (~2,700 stairs). Best time ever and my feet felt great. ATR’s have just enough protection from terrain while maintaining barefoot feel! Highly recommend!
That’s a great testimonial, Christopher! Tackling the Manitou Incline is no joke - glad the ATRs supported you all the way. Sounds like they’re delivering that perfect balance of protection and feel. Enjoy every step out there!

Impressed and satisfied
I was hesitant at first because I didn't have toe socks yet. Barefoot is nice, but after wearing them for a longer hike I got blisters on the top of my feet where the laces/tongue rub. Once I had the right socks, they felt so much better. I went to a rockier trail and found that the tread would get lots of rocks stuck, which might happen with other shoes but I could feel each place one was stuck - this is not a complaint, just something to be aware of. I would recommend this brand and shoe for anyone looking to understand their gait and habits more, while enjoying a new love for hiking with my 'bare feet'.
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the shoes, Kyle. Great call on switching to toe socks. That added protection makes a big difference. If any part of the fit or tread gives you trouble going forward, feel free to reach out to support.

Ah, damn... I like toe- shoes
Listen, if you are anything at all like me... You've probably thought to yourself- toe shoes? Toe-socks? Not for me...
But at 59 years of age, I grew a bit tired at the lack of mobility my feet/ toes have.
While my fingers can shuffle, paint, weave, sculpt... My toes can basically just open and close... I don't like that.
So now I'm experimenting trying to give my toes more wiggle- room. Like any journey- it starts someplace, and Peluva was a very fine starting line.
Your story made our day, Bill. It’s awesome to hear you’re embracing toe freedom - we’re cheering you on every step of the way!

Black Men's Strand ATR
To whom it may concern,
I really enjoy the Men’s Strand ATR, this five-toe minimalist footwear is fantastic. I use them for both weightlifting and walking, and they help keep my toes in their correct anatomical position, naturally separating and aligning them.
Overall, they’re excellent for enhancing foot mechanics!
Best regards,
J-F.A
Thanks for the thoughtful review, J-F.A! We’re so glad the Strand ATRs are helping with alignment and supporting your training and walking routine.

Amazing comfort and performance!
As a tall woman, I often have difficulty finding specialty shoes that are both excellent performance and aesthetically pleasing. These shoes are both! Would love a size 12.5 woman's comfy Ugg-looking shoe!
Thanks for the kind words, Alyssa! We’re so happy the comfort and look are working for you. We’ll definitely pass your Ugg-style request along to the team!

Amazing Customer Service
I loved my pair of Peluva’s and then I suddenly had an issue with one piece of tread delaminating. I reached out to customer service just wanting a remedy to reattach it- they sent me a new pair of shoes no questions asked. I wasn’t expecting or even asking for this. I will definitely buy another pair from them in the future. As for the treads, I’m just wondering if this model is better on soft surfaces like trails and the beaches than hard surfaces such as roads and pickleball courts, etc. They have incredible traction. We will see. Thanks Peluva!
Thanks so much, John! We’re thrilled our team could help, and your feedback on surface use is super helpful. We appreciate your support!

LOVE THEM
This is my 2nd pair of ATR’s and my 4th pair of Peluvas overall. These are the most comfortable footwear I’ve ever owned. I will not buy another brand.
We love hearing that, Jonathan! Thanks for sticking with Peluva, so glad you’re enjoying the ATRs.

Great hiking , trail and daily shoe
I’ve had mine for a month now and took them on a 4 mile hike the first day I received them. No foot pain and a grounded foot feel when walking over rocks and terrain. I have unique shaped feet, so I need a size between 12-12.5. With socks on I they feel just fine. Without socks I feel like my toes are not snug in the pockets. Overall this is a shoe and a company I’ll buy from again. Just need to dial in what works best for my feet.
Sounds like they’re really working for your hikes and daily use. Appreciate you dialing in the fit and sharing your experience!

First time buyer
Bought these to help with mobility and foot pain, I love how comfortable they are and am looking forward to purchasing my next pairs and a pair for my wife. Definitely need to go up in size if wearing the Peluva socks, fit great barefoot or with thin socks.
I got my Peluvas 2 weeks ago, and I love them. I've never worn toe shoes before. The 1st 2 days in a row I hiked a total of 7 miles. My feet were sore afterward but its worth it. My 1st time putting them on took 20 minutes and produced alot of sweat, but I think I have the hang of it. I had to get a size 14, which I thought would make me return them, but I make it work by lacing the shoes tight, and I hardly notice a difference apprearance wise between a regular size 13 and this 14. Its very comfortable.
ok first let me tell you this. yall need to hire a better photographer. maybe from only feet or something. Your pictures make your models' feet look like clown feet. super skeptical on what they looked like but I took that leap. when I put mine on the looked like normal shoes. Thank goodness. So when measuring, I went with the middle measurement. should of gotten the one size bigger to save the trouble of waiting. So wearing these was a blast I was actually very surprised how much they actually felt good on my feet. Im assuming it will take a while for my heel pain. But it might not go away, that’s just a pain that’s always there. Also never try and run in these for long distances when you first get them. I had to get from one end of Denver airport to the other in 10 min. when I tell you I have never had shin splints so bad in my life.. so ease yourself into that lol. Also remember that scene in sponge bob when he tries to drive and he pokes his big toe out the shoe. That’s how it feels to drive in these. All in all these are great, ignore my heal pain part. I cant stand in one spot for long periods of time but my entire foot pain has gone from a 9 to about 3 to 5. And for me that’s a big win for me. I've had $500 inserts that just failed me and the Good Feet store failed me. Wearing these at least 3 to 5 times a week has made it resend a lot. Even when switching to regular shoes, it helped too. I can feel my feet better even though the toes aren’t separated. My wife loves her pair and I've recommended them to a lot of family hoping they will jump on board.
Thanks for the awesome review, Preston! We’re so glad you took the leap, sounds like they’re making a real difference for you. And your SpongeBob driving reference had us laughing!

Absolutely amazing, my feet feel better. My back hurts less. They are built well and very comfortable. A bit of a transition but i can tell that my feet are falling back into true form.
