They look and feel great!!

The dress Hybrid is great. I own 3 pairs of Peluva shoes now. They could use an extra lace hole at the very top of the shoe opening so it can fell a bit more snug at the opening. Overall they are great!

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the great feedback, Mike! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the Napa Dress Hybrid. Adding that extra lace hole is a smart suggestion, we’ll pass that along to our product team.

A Jack Russell and Me

Rocky dog and I go to Griffith park a lot.Its a wide open tree filled trail experience . It’s perfect for squirrels and lizard hunting. Which brings me to digging on the Peluvas . I’m low to the ground but my shoe base is tuff enough to Handel the terrain.Sticks, rocks, uneven ground, dirt water, the whole nine yards, my feet have full range of movement, I’m no longer twisting my ankles, while running or walking around there. There funny looking , I get asked about them often

Comfortable and well made.

I walk. I have been getting into the "barefoot" zero drop shoes for a while now. These are my first pair of TOE shoes. Have only had these for about a month. They feel really great - on my feet and with my gait. I hope they will last. I have no reason to doubt that they will, but it's too soon to tell at this point. I'm a size 12 and still working on restoring my splay so i struggle a bit putting these on. They are absolutely PERFECT sizewize, but getting my toes in where they are supposed to be (for me) is a little bit of a undertaking. That's ME, not the shoes. Very happy with these so far.

Thanks for sharing, Gary! We’re glad you’re enjoying the shift into toe shoes and feeling the difference in your walk. Breaking them in and getting toes aligned can be a learning curve, but it sounds like you’re on the right track.

Happy feet!

I love these shoes! I have never worn minimalist shoes before, and they seem to been made for my feet. My shins, calves, and my feet have never been more comfortable walking outside, wearing these shoes. They are lightweight and I am unaware of them being on my feet when I’m walking. That is the biggest praise for a pair of shoes ever! I normally wear a size 6 1/2, and the size 7 Peluva works perfectly.

So glad to hear your transition to minimalist shoes has been such a positive one, Kathryn! Lightweight and nearly invisible on-foot is what we aim for. Thanks for sharing!

Worth Every Cent

Spend this money! Proper fit is integral to these shoes. With the Redo plan you can buy as many pairs as you like and for $4 send back what you don't want to keep.

Game Changing Footwear

I am still in the process of getting the sizing right, but with Peluva's return policy and excellent customer service I have plenty of time to do so. I cannot say enough good things about these "shoes." Yes, they are a bit of a pain to put on, but you figure it out. That said, my Strands have been a game changer. Somewhere between 60-63 my feet started giving me problems. Neuropathy, neuroma and arthritis had impeded my lateral and quick step movement to almost non-existent. Fitness has always been a thing for me. The prospect of losing mine had become depressing. While I have known about these shoes for a couple of years, it took me as much time to give them a try after suffering different, traditional training shoes, physical therapy and indifferent sports doctors. Immediately after putting them on, I found it easier to walk and keep my balance. Over the course of a week as I became less conscious of them, I found myself moving the way I used to and should. When I realized this, I attempted quick lateral movement. Miraculously, I felt healed! I performed aerobic and Tennis like movements I haven't made for some time with ease and certainty. The shoes are sturdy and light. Feeling everything beneath my feet is interesting and reminds me I am doing something good for myself. Tune into Stay Flexy (Movement By David) on You Tube. He's a most persuasive, impressive spokesman! Shout out to Kyla in customer service. We have/had an ongoing exchange regarding shoe details and EVERY question I asked was answered. Now for the caveats... They ABSOLUTELY run small. I think I'll need to go up a full size before the testing I'm doing is finished. So what if they aren't the best looking footwear. The more satisfied I am with them the better looking they become. They'll take some getting used to. After half a day in them of relatively active use, my feet become fatigued. Research on this tells me my feet will get stronger from wearing them. I believe this. I pray they may be "corrective." Availability is bad. Sorry not sorry, Peluva. Most of the shoes in my size range were unavailable. None of these caveats would keep me from getting more. I look forward to a long relationship with this brand.

Incredible feedback, Nicholas. It’s so powerful to hear how the Strands helped restore your mobility and confidence. We’re thrilled they’ve made such a difference for you. Totally agree on the sizing, going up a full size is often the best move. Thanks for sharing your journey and insights!

great shoes

use for walking in various terrains, Like having the feeling of changing surface under feet. My feet, toes right up the “kinetic chain” after 2 weeks. If not used to zero drop shoes may need a brake in period.

Love to hear that, Steven. The Strand ATR really shines across different terrains, and it’s awesome that you’re feeling the benefits through your whole kinetic chain. Great tip on the break-in period too!

Took me a while to get them on at first - a little tight on my left big toe, but really like them overall!

Solid shoe that works as advertised

This shoe does everything it says it does and is becoming my weekend hiking shoe. My feet feel great and the tread works well working through trails.

Great Comfortable Shoes

I gave these 5 stars with one caveat. They are super hard to put on. And I have not worn them enough to notice any improvement. I don't have muscle aches/pains or any problems with my feet so just hoping to help stengthen my bones as I have osteoporosis. The 5 toe socks help with the separation in preparation of the shoes but it still takes about 5 full minutes to get toes into the correct section. Very comfortable once on and I enjoy walking in them. I walk about 4 miles a day on concrete. I'll review again once I've had a chance to really put some miles on them.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, Darla! They can definitely be tricky to get on at first, but it gets easier with time. Glad to hear they’re comfortable once you’re in and that you’re getting your miles in!

Best shoes!!

I was very skeptical about these shoes. I didn't believe all the hype and videos from stay stretchy guy. But let me tell you something after you get used to the toes and you give them a few days to adjust my feet no longer hurt me. It's wonderful. I'm over weight but losing, I have really bad bone spurs, and a high arch. My feet always hurt unless I was barefoot. These shoe help me accomplish that. The sizing photo thing said I was an 8.5 but I had to order a 10 to fit correctly with socks.

MY NEW FAV SHOES (when it's not too hot)

I LOVE these shoes. I have a pair of hiking Peluvas, and I have yet to get them on easily, and until my toes stretch out a vit more, I will leave them in the closet, they're just too much work. But these - these are SO much easier to get on, and I love the way I can just slip them on after a couple of days. My right foot's toes are harder, but it takes much less time than the other Peluvas. They are too hot in this awful weather, but as soon as it gets cooler, I'll be wearing them again. Highly recommended!
