Shoe I didn't know I was missing

I didn't think I'd love these as much as I do. A former coworker had "toe" shoes and I hated them.. how they looked, and vowed to never get a pair. Fast forward 10 years, and I took the plunge. My feet love them, and they actually feel better (stronger?) after only wearing them 1.5 weeks. I wear them all day and even when I workout (weight lighting and indoor bike), and my feet never tire in them. I normally wear a 9, and I did the "paper" measuring technique which confirmed a 9, but they were too small. I went up a full size to 10 and that was perfect. Happy strong feet.. happy life!

Highly recommend!

I love them! My first pair were too small. Peluva was great about replacing with half size bigger. My peluva socks are so comfortable & have made wearing my peluvas so comfortable. I highly recommend them. My feet feel so good! Thank you!

Nice shoe, runs small

They seemed awesome when I put them on, well built and comfy. Unfortunately they were too small. I wear an 11 in every shoe I own, but these did not fit. Unfortunately, that is their biggest size. I have not had luck in men's sizes before as I have a narrow foot. I am deciding whether to try the men's. Return process was easy so far, but I have not received my money back yet.

No more numbing in my toes!

It took me a couple days to adjust to them but once I did, they were so comfortable! For years I have had issues with numbness in my toes, all due to getting scrunched in the toe box, now I've finally found a solution in your shoes... thanks so very much:-)

Great shoe, great customer service!

I am really enjoying this shoe! When I ordered I did the scan of my foot and they recommended the half size larger than my normal size. But when I got them my big toes and pinky toes felt like they were going to break out of the fabric. I reached out to the customer service to see if I could go up another half size. They responded very quickly! Sent me the return shipping label immediately and sent out the new size as soon as I dropped off the other shoes at ups. The new size worked great! The shoes do take time to get used to so be patient. But I really like them!!

Love them!

Absolutely love them! They are so comfy and I wear them all day long. I used to wear Vibram Five Finger years ago, but I have heel spurs and I just couldn't wear them but for short periods of time. I'm thrilled that theses have some cushion to them. I am looking forward to purchasing more colors!!!

Very fun

I had to go up a full size to have my toes feel comfortable. They're cool though, I like them.

Pleasantly Surprised

I bought these because I have pain in my feet most days and I heard about them on Dr. Axe's podcast. I trust him, so I thought I'd give them a try. I eased into wearing them foe several hours a day because I am a teacher and on my feet all day, I wasn't' sure how they would do. I have been wearing them several days a week now and I feel like my feet feel better because of the shoes. I would recommend them to anyone.

Comfy but

So far, I’m liking the Peluva Strand. I am not new to barefoot/minimalist shoes, but I am new to toe shoes, and I definitely had to adjust to the feeling. First wear felt very odd, but second much longer wear felt more natural and comfortable. I really do enjoy these shoes and they look very stylish, but quality could use a little improvement when compared to the price.

Good shoes, but still slightly stiff

I really like these shoes. I feel it's helped my pinky toe really reacclimate to a more balanced stance. My only criticism is that even if those social media influencer promoting the shoe display the overall flexibility, the sole is still a bit stiff despite illustrations of showing otherwise. I can't flex my toes inward. It is a tadbit water resistant, which I did not expect. I still think it's a good shoes

Best shoes ever for wide square feet!

These shoes are amazing! I have very wide plateau shaped feet with a wide mid-foot. They are 25cm long and 10.3 cm wide at the widest point. I originally got a women’s size 10.5. They were a little long so I sized down to a 10. These shoes are one of the only shoes I’ve found that are wide enough in the mid foot and the toes. They are so comfortable. After a few wears they are now my go to shoes. The soles felt a little stiff at first but they have softened a bit which allows for more natural motion. The soles are perfect for walking on concrete all day. I will be buying more as new styles and colors come out!

Correcting bunion

I have only had the shoes for a week and can feel a difference already. I do not have as much pain in the bunion area. Buying these shoes is my final attempt to fix the bunion and avoid surgery which I had planned to do this summer. I am wearing the shoes around the house and to the gym to try and rebuild my feet muscles. It took a few times wearing them to get used to the feeling and to get comfortable in them, I’m almost to the point of not noticing them.

Comfortable though bulky for a minimalist

This shoe is very comfortable. It is extremely cushy for a minimalist shoe, though it feels a little bulky and is a little wide for my foot. I have ran either barefoot or in Vibram Five-fingers for about 15 years so there's definitely more shoe here than I'm used to. It definitely makes the dreaded treadmill run more bearable.

No Pain No Gain

Were they the most comfortable at first? Of course not! My first time putting them on I could only wear them for five minutes before i felt the strain. But taking my time to condition my feet to them slowly really made a difference. Now they're the shoes I'm most comfortable in and I'm excited to wear them more places for longer.
