Back in touch
I’ve been a fan of toe shoes for a long time. I stopped wearing them due to not having quality options. I’m back. Walking is why I bought them. What I didn’t think about is how awesome they were going to be in the gym. Love lifting in them. I’m more connected to the ground which translates to greater energy when lifting.
Glad to hear you’re back into toe shoes! They really do make a difference for lifting and overall movement. Enjoy the connection and the gains!

Toe shoe newbie
My first pair of toe shoes. Took a bit to get used to putting them on. The socks and shoes require each toe to be placed into a specific spot. This took some time to get the muscles to move the toes! Getting better and really enjoying the experience. Doors are well made. I’ve had them a month
Glad to hear you’re enjoying your first pair of toe shoes! It definitely takes some time to adjust, but it sounds like you’re getting the hang of it. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Revolutionary and Fun!
This is my first pair of minimalist shoes and I love them! The packing was great and there were great instructions for us first timers how to start wearing footwear. Walking and working out feel fantastic and I love the style. Peluvas feel like gloves for my fit instead of mittens. Very glad I purchased them!
Glad you’re loving your first pair of minimalist shoes! It definitely takes some getting used to, but sounds like you’re already feeling the benefits. Enjoy the journey!
Glad you’re loving them! Enjoy every step in your Peluvas!

Great shoes
I love both pairs of shoes: this pair and a trail running pair. They allow my toes and feet to spread out and feel better. I have done functional fitness and running in both and my feet feel fine afterwards. I am considering ordering another pair for daily walking around.
Glad to hear you’re enjoying them! It’s great that they’re working well for both fitness and daily wear. Let us know if you decide to grab another pair!

Love the Shoes - But can Improve
I love the Peluvas; they're now my go-to shoes for daily activities and working out. After getting used to them, they just feel better than regular shoes. There are some things that Peluva could do better though:
-I can't figure out my real correct size. The sizing tool on the website said I was an 11. Those were much too small, so I got an 11.5. They fit great except for my big toes, which hurt after wearing them around the house for a day, so I exchanged those for a 12. The 12s are a little too big though. I have to pull the laces very tight resulting in the top of the shoe folding over a bit, but none of my toes hurt, so I've kept them. My foot slides forward and back a bit, resulting in my little toes occasionally slipping out of their toe area, and when my heel is all the way back, there's too much space in the front. To help with the slipping, I made two extra shoelace holes to keep my feet more snug .
-The shoelaces are too long, and there aren't enough shoelace holes to keep your foot secure. This could be easily remedied.
-It would also be nice if Peluva put some water-resistant treatment on the fabric. As is, if it's even a little wet underfoot, your socks are going to get wet. This means you'll always need another pair of regular shoes if it's at all damp or even just misting outside. That said, I've worn these walking over ice and snow and have been fine, even if my feet get a little wet.
Again, overall, these are great shoes. I'm going to get another pair, and hopefully the 11.5s will work in a different kind and Peluva will fix a few of these issues.
Glad you’re enjoying the barefoot feel! We appreciate your feedback on sizing, laces, and water resistance—this helps us improve. Thanks for sharing your experience and for sticking with Peluva!

Super Comfortable! And actually stylish!
I love my Vibram Toe shoes and they are great for outdoors. But when I want to dress up for Church or dinner, I don't want to look like I'm about to go hiking afterward. These Peluva shoes are the perfect middle ground of niche toe shoes and stylish sneakers. My feet are too wide now to go back to normal shoes that are always narrow.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! It’s great to hear that you’ve found a stylish and comfortable middle ground with your Peluva shoes. We’re thrilled they work perfectly for both casual outings and more dressed-up occasions. Here’s to happy feet and versatile style.

Comfortable
The shoes are very comfortable. Definitely a challenge to get your toes in the right slot but once you’re in it’s all good. I recommend them 🤙
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear the shoes are comfortable once you get them on. It might take a bit of patience with the toe alignment, but it sounds like it’s worth it in the end. Happy walking!

TOE-riffic
The shoes are extremely comfortable and provide plenty of protection. The more I wear them the easier I get my toes into their homes and more I don't want to take them off. I am toetally satisfied.

First time
Wanted to try a minimalist shoe and came across these. Good shoe and very comfortable. Took a couple days getting used to but where them all the time now. Haven't tried them in the gym yet but they are basically my daily shoe now. So far all is well.

Good refund policy, customer service isnt bad so don’t worry. There’s no point in getting shoes with the toes at least this brand because your toes are just as restricted if not more restricted in these shoes than normal barefoot shoes. You can really only move toes up and down which u can do in almost every shoe, it does space your toes out which is nice and if you are unbothered by the design these shoes are good. They are uncomfortable in the toes if you wear sockless because of the seems, but in socks I assume would be fine. Overall you arent getting more from these shoes than normal barefoot shoes, so if you want a normal shoe look but have the benifits of zero drop and wide toe box go with normal barefoot shoes.
