Phenomenal footwear!!!
As someone who has had multiple injuries, as well as generally bad joints, these Peluvas are beyond incredible!!
I was recommended a pair of ultra padded Hokas with special insoles for arch support by a DPM because I got bad cramps, soreness and shin splints when running. Well the Hokas were good for the shin splints, but my feet generally still hurt when in use.
I decided I wanted to try a more minimalist approach and try out these Peluvas (I'm more comfortable barefoot anyways) when I first got them I decided to go for a light walk/jog to break them in. They ended up being so comfortable and smooth with the jogging experience that I turned it into a run. I was beyond baffled at the fact that I didn't have pain whilst doing it! So I just kept running... an running.. Next thing I knew I decided to check my fitness app, to find I had ran 4.5 miles! I normally train for 2 miles and hadn't had the chance to run for months (due to a different injury), so without training and being out of shape these Peluvas were able to make the impossible... Possible!
*Update* I tried them in Pickleball yesterday, and my goodness do I feel even more agile on the court! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!
That’s an incredible transformation, Randy! We’re thrilled to hear how the Strand ATR has helped you move more comfortably and even exceed your running expectations. It’s amazing that switching to a minimalist approach has made such a difference in your pain and agility, especially for both running and pickleball. Thanks for sharing your experience and for the 10/10 recommendation!

Great shoes!
These provide a ton of room for your toes! They feel like you are walking barefoot, but with shoes on!
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Strand Sport Mesh, Mark! The spacious toe box and barefoot feel are what we aim for. Thanks for your feedback!

Happy walker!
I listened to a podcast and had been curious about a barefoot shoe. Thought I’d give it a try after some research. I like that it’s super light weight and solid color. It’s very comfy and after a few times of
breaking it in, it’s all I really want to wear. I try and walk many times per week and I’m starting a lifting program soon. Many folks at the gym say this improves their lifting game. I’ll let you know. 😉
Glad you gave the Strand Sport Mesh a try, Kristin! It’s great to hear they’re comfortable and becoming your go-to shoes. They’re definitely a solid choice for both walking and lifting. Looking forward to hearing how they work for your new program. Thanks for your support!

Awesome!
So surprised at how comfortable these shoes are. I am still getting a bit used to the look of this style but inside the house, I have been wearing them non-stop. I have some degeneration at the big toe joint that makes me shift my weight onto the little toe side when I walk but in these shoes, somehow, miraculously, the joint feels supported yet cushioned enough to place weight on it without pain or discomfort, helping my gait get back to normal. LOVE the color combination (I have the olive ones with the blue laces)!
Glad to hear the Strand ATR is working so well for you, Heidrun! It’s great that they’re helping with comfort and alignment, especially with your toe joint. Adjusting to the style takes time, but it sounds like they’re already making a big difference in your gait. Thanks for sharing your experience! We appreciate your support!

So Far so Good
I received my shoes a few days ago and I've walked about 10 miles in them. So far I like them; they feel good and are easy to put on. I wondered if the shoes would feel weird on my toes, but they are surprisingly comfortable. I didn't purchase socks to wear with them so time will tell if they'll start smelling (I hope not).
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Strand Lightweight Trainer so far, Julie! If odor becomes a concern, wearing toe socks can help. Peluva offers a free pair of toe socks with your order, so if you didn’t receive them, please reach out to support@peluva.com, and they’ll be happy to assist. Looking forward to hearing how they continue to work for you!

Great socks! Definitely recommend getting them if you get the shoes!
Love these sneaks! I’m a 5 mile beach walker. You really feel like you are walking barefoot without hurting the sole of your foot on rocks or seashells.
Highly recommend!!! I love the light blue color too!
Glad to hear you’re loving the Strand Sport Mesh, Diane! Walking 5 miles on the beach sounds like the perfect way to enjoy them. It’s great that they give you the barefoot feel while still protecting your feet. Thanks for your recommendation and for sharing your experience!

500 + walking miles
I received my Peluva's about 10 January 2025. Since then I have logged 574 miles walking on asphalt. So far the only notable wear is on the middle toes.
It took a few weeks to break in, but now they are very comfortable for my average 3 mile walks.
We'll see how many more miles I get. I only wear these for my walks.
574 miles is impressive, Robert! It’s great to hear that your Strand Lightweight Trainers have held up well and become so comfortable over time. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing how many more miles you get out of them.

awesome
I wish I would have bought these a long time ago. Even walking through my desert back yard for my morning mile ruck, they are great.
Glad to hear you're loving the Strand ATR, Val! Sounds like they’re holding up well on your desert rucks. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Runs Small – Size Up for a Comfortable Fit!
At first, it felt really strange to fit into these shoes—I even lost track of my toes! But day by day, they became easier to wear. I'm still breaking them in at home and haven’t worn them outside yet, but so far, they feel very comfortable.
I originally ordered half a size up (7.5 instead of my usual 7), but they were still too tight. I ended up exchanging them for a full size up (8), and that fit perfectly! If you're considering these shoes, I’d recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Juliana! The Strand Lightweight Trainer can take some getting used to, but it’s great to hear they’re becoming more comfortable. Sizing up is a helpful tip, and we appreciate you passing that along. Hope you continue to enjoy them!

Most comfortable shoe ever!
These shows are so cozy with the socks that I actually wore them to bed the first night. Weird thing to do with hiking shoes, I know. I’m going to buy a second pair so I can wear them every day.
Glad to hear you’re loving the Strand ATR, Wendy! Wearing them to bed definitely speaks to their comfort. A second pair sounds like a great idea. Thanks for your support!

All I Want to Wear
I started wearing Peluvas about 3 weeks ago. They are great. I feel like waking more and I don’t want to wear other shoes. I am a teacher and walk several miles a day at work. I start the day by wearing them at the gym.
Glad to hear you're loving the Strand Lightweight Trainer, Deva! It’s great that they’re keeping you comfortable throughout your busy days as a teacher and even at the gym. Appreciate your support and hope you continue enjoying every step!

Comfort like you never imagined
Great shoes. These are my go to everyday shoe. I had really bad plantar fasciitis, after trying Peluva shoes the pain is gone.
That’s amazing to hear, Cid! We’re glad the Zen Active Slip-On has become your go-to and that they’ve helped with your plantar fasciitis. Thanks for sharing your experience!

So far, really good!
So comfortable and so effective with the grip it allows during walking and weight lifting.
I really like them!
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Strand Lightweight Trainer, Cristin! It's great that they're providing comfort and grip for both walking and weightlifting. Thanks for your feedback!

amazing product, fixed an ankle problem
For a couple years, I've had a neuropathy in my ankle and did extensive muscle stretching and work on my calf with little to no improvement. My trainer suggested trying a five finger sneaker and within three days the neuropathy started to go away and after a couple of weeks of using a pair of these amazing shoes, the pain is gone. It's so important to get your toes working as part of long-term mobility, thank you for your amazing technology.
That’s incredible to hear, Henry! We’re so glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer helped with your neuropathy and contributed to your recovery. Proper toe engagement can make a huge difference in mobility, and it’s great to know these worked so well for you. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I Love These Shoes So Light And Comfy On My Feet And I Am In Love With The Color!
I plan to buy more socks, one pair is not enough, you should offer a multi-pack set like 3 pair. I wear these I my roller skate s, gym shoes playing sports. The socks are absolutely fantastic, I have recommended them to my family and friends.
It would nice to have a pair of house shoes designed like trainer shoes.
Thank you for your feedback, Melvin! We’re glad you’re loving the Ultra Move Quarter Crew Socks and appreciate your recommendation to family and friends. A multi-pack is a great idea, and we’ll pass that along to our team. Love hearing how versatile they are for you!

Stronger than every week!
I love these shoes! I purchased the Stand light weight trainer. They are fantastic. I walk the dog at least two miles per day in them and where them all day working from home and running around town. The activation of my foot and ankle muscles is pretty shocking.
The style I purchased is to casual for work travel but maybe my next pair will be more professional and I can wear these all the time.
Great to hear you’re loving the Strand Lightweight Trainer, John! It’s amazing how much they can activate foot and ankle muscles with daily wear. If you're looking for a more professional style, you might want to check out our Napa Dress Hybrid for a polished look while keeping the same natural feel. Thanks for your support!
