Good Barefoot Shoe

I wear a 13, bought a 13. Fit me true to size. For comparison, I wear a 14 in Salomon. Did what I needed to get toes spread for a more natural foot.

Glad the fit worked out and they’re helping with toe alignment! Thanks for the sizing comparison too, super helpful for others considering a pair.

Great shoes!

I have gone out wareing my men's Strand ATR's several time hikes, runs and more. My feet feel great!

Still rocking the STRANDS with FLAT NO ARCH FEET. Don’t wear them every day but when I do I put on the PELUVA SOCKS and slip on the STRANDS.

Love to hear the Strands are holding up strong for you, especially with flat feet. Sounds like a solid combo with the Peluva socks too!

Verified Buyer

Decent

Decent pair of shoes so far, after going the recommended size up from regular shoes the toes don’t seem to fill in like I would like them to so I may do a half step smaller next time.

Response from Peluva

Appreciate the feedback! Sizing can be tricky with five-toe shoes, trying a half size down next time sounds like a good call if the fit isn’t quite dialed in.

Blown away

I cannot believe how awesome these shoes feel. I never knew how much your toes need to move when walking. They spread out and grip the ground, I feel so much more stable and balanced!

That’s what it’s all about, natural movement and real stability. So glad you’re loving the feel of the Strand ATRs!

So comfortable!

I am actually surprised how comfortable these are. I have a high instep so the tongue is pressing into the top of my foot a bit but I will get used to that.

So glad to hear they’re comfortable overall! Hopefully the tongue eases up as they break in, thanks for giving them a shot!

Fulfilled it purpose and more!

I have had minimalistic shoes before but not one that separated each toe. I use them for exercise purposes or but after a couple work outs I find myself wearing them more often. My feet and toes feel like they have more energy. I'm glad I took a chance on these shoes.

Awesome shoe

The first pair I had was a little small and uncomfortable because of that. Peluva refunded the cost promptly. The next pair I ordered one size larger and what a difference it made. I wear these all day with no worries about discomfort. My feet and particularly the toes are thanking me as they are now free and able to do what our feet are supposed to do. Conventional shoes have been compressing our feet and toes to the point of creating bunions and many other foot disorders. It’s interesting how we have been using the ill fitting shoes for as long as we have been alive and they just now invented a shoe that fits and functions as a shoe should. It protects our little toes and tender soles but allows total toe/foot function. It is a pleasure to get the toes involved in every step I take.

​A Game-Changer for My Feet

I've been looking for a shoe that offers a natural, comfortable feel without sacrificing support, and I can confidently say I've found it with the Peluva 5-Toe shoes. From the moment I first put them on, I was impressed. The fit is nothing short of perfect. The individual toe slots feel incredibly natural, allowing my toes to splay and move as they should, which has made a huge difference in my balance and overall foot comfort. It’s a snug yet flexible fit that feels more like a second skin than a shoe. ​Beyond the fit, the comfort level is truly exceptional. The lightweight design makes you feel as if you’re walking barefoot, but with the necessary cushioning and protection. I’ve worn them for long walks, gym sessions, and even just running errands, and my feet have felt great at the end of the day. There's none of the tightness or pressure that I've experienced with conventional shoes. ​The entire experience, from ordering to delivery, was seamless. The website was easy to navigate, and finding my size was simple. The checkout process was quick and straightforward. What really impressed me, though, was the speed of the delivery. My shoes arrived even sooner than the estimated date, well-packaged and in perfect condition. ​Overall, the Peluva 5-Toe shoes have exceeded all my expectations. They are a perfect blend of innovative design, comfort, and functionality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to try a more natural, minimalist footwear option.

Great Design Features

I have come accustomed to initial awkward feel of these shoes. My feet are stronger for it, and I have purchased more pairs in different styles. The customer service response was excellent on a recent pair that I questions about.

Strand ATR

After a Couple of Styles and a few different sizes I finally got the right STYLE & SIZE. This style has the most Exterior Sole Support for the purpose that it was made. Especially for those like my self that don’t have Arches in Feet this certainly was the right style.

Delicious

These shoes are like warm buttermilk pancakes on a Sunday morning, steam curling off the griddle of life. They hug and contour to your feet the way that knife and fork hug your palms, like silverware with a crush. A few miles in these bad boys and your Air Force Ones will turn into leftovers cooling on the counter.

It's a bit of a tighter fit compared to the last pair with the same size I bought before but I'm sure I'll get used to it. For now though I'll have to not wear the toe socks and it should be fine. I wasn't exactly paying attention to the shoe lace design so this one was a first for me and so far It's alright. Usually like to tie my shoelaces verses the lazy option but it's neat. Thanks again for another pair of shoes. I'll probably buy another set next year.

LOVE!

I love these shoes. They are super comfortable and much easier to put on that I anticipated. I don't think I want to wear anything else ever again which is a problem.

That’s the kind of “problem” we love to hear! So glad they’re exceeding expectations, thanks for sharing the love!

Don't care.

Took 3 steps in my maiden run with these and instantly removed my cares about looking goofy in toe-shoes. Everyone else is wrong; these are the correct way we would should treating our feet. Knee pain - gone back pain - gone. p.s. - use their app to size your shoes up correctly; I think I went a half-size down and they are *perfect*. It will feel tight to begin with, and you should feel the heels of your feet tighten slightly when lifting your toes all the way up.

This is amazing to hear, thank you for sharing such a powerful experience! Love that you leaned into the function and found real relief. You’re absolutely right: our feet deserve better!

Best thing next to barefoot.

This footwear is super light with much better traction than my moccasins. A standard 6' boot on uneven terrain is very unsteady for me as I have Guillain-Barre but this shoe is a dream when I use it with trekking poles. One size over my normal is about right. Will keep an eye out for a sale to add an extra pair.

Great shoes

I bought these because of all the ads I've been seeing, tho I was extremely skeptical about them. I was fully prepared for them to be more of a gimmick and would end up using them as water shoes if they sucked. Well, lo and behold, they are actually really great shoes! They are very comfy given they have minimal insoles. I never noticed how much i actually depended on rigged outsoles to to counterbalance my quick and agile movements instead of using my toes or correct portion of my feet. My feet and knees definitely needed a few days to adjust, but started feeling better the more I wore them. If there's one thing I would suggest as improvement would have to be the grip texture. On dry or rough surfaces, they are great, but are super slippery on the slightest bit of slippery floors. Watch out if you go to a supermarket that constantly sprays their fresh produce area. It would be great if they had the honeycomb design like on the bottom of slip resistant shoes.

Finally. After so many years of looking. I found my shoes.

I have wide feet with a tailor's bunion on the little toe, and I have a history of plantar's fasciitis. No shoes I wore felt good, and at the end of the day my feed hurt so much. Everything was too narrow (even men's shoes!) and crunched my toes. I was doing the Fred Sanford walk anytime I got up. I got my Peluva Strand ATRs, men's size 9 ( I normally wear about an 8 in mens) two days before leaving for a trip to Spain. On that trip, I walked on average 18,000 steps a day for 2 weeks in these shoes and my feet have never felt better. I traversed everything from cobblestone streets to mountains, to damp caves all in comfort and with the traction of a mountain goat. I could feel everything under me (but comfortably!) and grip with my toes. These shoes are amazing. I went for a run one day, and put on my old running shoes. Yilkes! The next day my feet were killing me. Actually, the only time my feet hurt now are when I put on my old running shoes. Even if I am using them as work shoes in the yard, my feet will start hurting. The next run I tried in my Peluvas; no pain at all. Felt amazing! I couldn't believe it! I could not be happier with these shoes! I now own 4 pair. Things to note: *Size up a size if you are not used to toe shoes. *Get some toe socks. *Your feet will forget about something being in between your toes, it becomes so normal. *Be ready to tell everyone about these shoes because they will ask and you will definitely want to tell them! *Buy an extra pair in a different color so you can wear them with ANYTHING!
