Best shoes I ever had

Best shoes I’ve ever had! Within two weeks my messed up toes and feet corrected themselves. I bought a pair for my whole family and they say the same thing. Peluva shoes are a game changer. I use the lightweight trainer for going to gym and jumping rope and doing tai chi. I needed up buying three more pairs.

Very happy

This is my first foray into “toed” shoes. I didn’t know if I would like them. I am very happy with the shoes and how they feel. I also think I have noticed some improvement in my foot pain. It’s only been a few weeks so it may be psychological but so far so good. I’m looking forward to more improvement.

Thanks for sharing, Charles! We're glad your first experience with toe shoes has been a positive one. It's great to hear you're already feeling some relief, hoping it only gets better from here!

Great for extra wide feet!

I wear a 2E width & have bunions so typical wide width athletic shoes squeezed my toes together in the toe box. I'd been curious about minimalist shoes and after a lot of research I decided to try Peluva. I no longer have foot pain, my squat depth is improved at the gym, and the shoes are great quality. I like them so much that I bought two more pairs. 👣

Size and style matter

First this is my second pair of Peluva shoes which BOTH are now more comfortable than standard shoes. I usually wear a 6.5 women's standard shoe. My Peluva lite trainers are an 8. My other pair are the Miami casual Peluva shoes in a 7.5. I was comfortable in my Miami loafers but the trainer's more flexible outer fabric is way more comfortable. Getting that half size more allowed for my toe flexions both up and down to be unrestricted. It could be the combo of the half size AND the fabric. I wish there were more BOLD colors rather than soft pastels. My 7 month old Miami loafers are going strong (given the standard price, I want them to) so I'm sure these trainers will be just as durable. The anniversary sale really motivated me to jump on getting another pair sooner than I would have otherwise. New bold colors I would buy a well. Highly recommend this entire brand, not just this style. I discovered these shoes on IG movementbydavid if there is a way to give commission retroactively.

A learning curve required but highly recommend them!

After watching Chalene Johnson’s YouTube episode about walking/workout shoes and her new favs Peluvas, I ordered a pair. It took several tries to get the right fit. I wear a shoe size 7, so ordered a 7-1/2 the first time. Had to exchange them for an 8. Received them and found that the big toe was still too snug though the rest of the shoe felt perfect. SO, I exchanged those for an 8-1/2 . The morning after receiving them, I put them on, and decided I was never taking them off! I may even sleep in them I thought. Here is the thing , I first put them on without socks and found that the big toe did not have as much room at the tip as the rest of the toes, but I think a larger size would cause the rest of the shoe to be too loose. The back of the shoe (the Achilles heel area) felt a bit too high up and was rubbing that area which was quite uncomfortable. However, I was able to remedy that problem easily with socks. Here is what I did: I had previously ordered one pair of the Peluva toe socks which are thin. SO (and this idea came from Chalene), I put one toe sock on then put a regular sock over it, figured out where I thought I should cut, removed the regular sock then cut that top area off and put them back on over the toe socks. It is working perfectly. Very snug and soft. I will try to post a pic here. I then walked outside for a couple thousand steps and they felt great. It could be my imagination, but I could swear my posture was better🤷‍♀️. So, bottom line is, I would definitely suggest at least 1-1/2 sizes larger than your normal shoe size. I’ve walked everyday since I received them a couple wks ago. I have less ankle and knee pain with this shoe and I expect that will continue to improve. I feel stronger when walking in them. Easier to push off and feel more balanced. I’m up to 10-11,000 steps per day and feel my feet ankles and legs getting stronger. I highly recommend them. Be patient determining the right size and get plenty toe socks.! Enjoy!

VERY stylish!

I will be rocking these all summer and when I go on my Mediterranean cruise in the fall. Please note that these run larger than the Peluva shoes with shoe laces.

Great Socks!

I was not sure I could get accustomed to toe socks but they are toe freedom. Difficult to put on but well worth it.

Great product

I use them for playing pickleball, and I've always preferred barefoot runners for the sport, although they didn't feature a toe design. I find that these shoes offer better movement and provide improved support on the concrete court, particularly for my hips. I highly recommend everyone give them a try. Once your feet adjust to the toe design, you won’t even feel like you’re wearing shoes.

Love at first slide

I have bad back problems, and am hoping these will help strengthen the accessory muscles in my leg and back to mitigate my back problem. So far so good. These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned, and are a super fun conversation starter.

Skeptical but pleased

I was very skeptical about buying these shoes. After wearing them now for a week, I can say they are very comfortable and I'm pleased. I am only using them around the house and for errands and am enjoying a greater feel for the floor and ground. I remain skeptical about relying on them as sturdy and safe shoes for long weighted-vest-walks, running, hiking or for working out. I think I still prefer a more supportive shoe for those activities. I have some foot deformities - bunions and pinky toes that cross over the 4th toe. I am unable to splay my toes out and apart. That said, I appreciate the individual toe slots with these shoes and my toes feel happy. I highly suggest using their sizing system before selecting your purchase. I wear a women's size 7 - 7.5 but measured a size 8.5 for these. I indeed bought the 8.5 and they are perfect for me. I bought a size small for the socks which are also perfect for me. Overall, I am happy and recommend these shoes. As a personal choice, I'm just not ready to wear them when I need real shoe support for strenuous activities.

So much more than just a shoe

Been following Mark and going primal for a long time but still surprised and amazed at how much of a difference these make. I use them primarily for trail hiking and I can feel new muscles activating up past my knees. Also feel improved balance. Definitely won’t be the last pair I own.
