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!

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.

So comfortable!

It took me a minute to get the right size. Love these shoes. I went up a full size and a half from what Peluva recommended. My feet feel so relaxed. Which, makes my body relax. I have low arches and was concerned, but these feel fantastic. Have history of knee pain, but feel no pain in these shoes. So thrilled. Get some!!

Happy Customer

I really like these shoes. I didn't think they would work for my feet because I have very small toes that don't lay flat and my feet are wide. It takes me a minute to get my feet into them because I have to work with my toes to go in the right slots. They are so comfortable and I have worn them with and without socks. I recommend thin socks with these. The quarter crew unisex socks were too thick for me to wear with these shoes. I sized up to a 7.5. My regular shoe size is a 6.5. I regularly do yoga and weight lifting without shoes on so maybe my feet were well prepared for these because I don't feel like I had a break in period - my feet have been happy since the first wear.

I love these shoes. They are exactly what I needed. I'm glad I got the size bigger than usual because my first and second toes are long. I only wish I could wear them in place of my steel-toed shoes for work.
