Just perfect: 5 stars plus
I have fallen in love with these shoes. I have arthritis issues with one of my feet due to an old fracture and have struggled to find shoes that accommodate me. Tennis, running, golf, hiking—it would all aggregate my foot even with the widest toe box shoes. I had experience with other “toe shoes” but they never had enough cushioning to be practical.
Then I found these Peluvas.
The shoes are so comfortable. Just enough cushioning to let you go hard in high-impact activities, but not so much you feel like pillows are on your feet. ZERO issues with my arthritis—even after the most aggressive activities. In fact, I am virtually pain free after using these daily for just a few weeks. I have used these shoes for pretty much anything active you can think of, and I’ve ordered the new golf shoes. The only negative thing I can say is that people will make a variety of comments to you about these haha.
I will never go back to “normal” athletic shoes. Thank you for this amazing product.
PS: Definitely trust the plus one whole size up suggestion.
Amazing feedback, Andrew! We’re so glad your Peluvas are helping with comfort and mobility, especially with arthritis. Thank you for sharing your story and for trusting the sizing tip!

most comfortable
I was a little surprised by the closed but elastic nature of the shoe laces, but I quickly adapted to them. Just like my first pair I purchased last September, these shoes are really easy to get into super comfortable to wear.
Glad to hear they’re still delivering comfort, James! Thanks for sticking with us for your second pair.

THE SHOE THATS ALSO A TOE SPACER!?!?!
Peluva sponsored our last two Primal Movement events and ever since I got these shoes I've been hooked. The toe pockets provide a toe-spacer experience throughout long portions of the day where having shoes on my feet is required. They run a little small in my experience, I normally wear a 9.5M and a 10M fits me great!
With Peluvas on I never feel like I'm compromising the natural structure of my foot while protecting them from the city landscape!
Peluvas are like having your cake AND eating it too.
Thanks Peluva team you guys are BASED!

Awesome to hear, Julian! Glad you’re loving the toe-spacer feel and natural support. And you’re totally right, sizing up is often the way to go. Keep crushing those deep squat sessions!

Ordered a 1/2 size bigger than normal instead of what the information on Peliva site, said which is order 1 full size bigger than you normally wear. This was because I used the electronic measure device on the site, where you put a piece of paper on the floor and put your decided and your heel against the wall and take a picture. The form told me that I should get a size 8, which I did. Do what the Peluva site says and go full size bigger than norma for the Strand ATR shoes. Other than that, I have have only worn the shoe for a few hours today and I’m at the gym right now. I really like the way they feel on my feet as long as they don’t fall apart which I don’t think they will, I like them a lot and hopefully they will start correcting the angle of my toes and make them straighter now that I’m wearing correct shoes that are not crushing my toes together.

Great fit and quality. I have been using them everyday for my 4 mile hikes with my dog in the Colorado Mountains. They are fixing my feet from many years of cowboy boot wear. I’m going to order another pair.
Awesome to hear, David! Love that your Strand ATRs are holding up on your mountain hikes and helping your feet recover from all those cowboy boot years. Enjoy the next pair!

Funny looking but very comfortable. .
Great fit once I get my foot in properly. My very wide female feet fit nicely in this men’s version. Thank you for making the exchange
So glad to hear the men’s fit worked out for you, Cathy! They may look a little funny, but the comfort is no joke, enjoy every step!

great shoes
use for walking in various terrains, Like having the feeling of changing surface under feet. My feet, toes right up the “kinetic chain” after 2 weeks. If not used to zero drop shoes may need a brake in period.
Love to hear that, Steven. The Strand ATR really shines across different terrains, and it’s awesome that you’re feeling the benefits through your whole kinetic chain. Great tip on the break-in period too!

Solid shoe that works as advertised
This shoe does everything it says it does and is becoming my weekend hiking shoe. My feet feel great and the tread works well working through trails.
Great to hear it’s living up to the promise, Frank. A solid pick for weekend hikes, glad your feet are feeling the difference!

Men’s ATR
Love these shoes! I have wore them 5 to 6 days a week to every workout and run. They have increased my performance unmatched by any shoe I have. I do calisthenics workouts outdoors and they rock. I’m always getting asked about my shoes and my response is you have get a pair to know the experience. Health wise my feet have gotten stronger and it has helped with my neuropathy. The only issue I’ve had is the sole on the left big toe is starting to come apart. Probably because I put these shoes through hell. Highly recommend!
Awesome to hear how much your ATRs have helped with both performance and foot health! Thanks for putting them to the test and spreading the word.

Took a few days to get used to, but they absolutely make walking and running feel more natural. I’ve used them for all sorts of exercise, including jump roping and lifting and they have providing unmatched balance and dexterity. I also love that they are suitable for all terrain! Highly recommend.

love it. More comfortable than I thought
I thought it would be more to the ground and I'd feel every pebble, but I was pleasantly surprised. I can feel the ground but Iits also comfortable. i like the feel of the openness and my feet seem to like walking this way now :)
That’s awesome, Elvis! It’s great to hear the shoes gave you the groundfeel you were expecting without sacrificing comfort. Sounds like your feet are loving the freedom—exactly what we aim for!

Court shoes
I got these specifically for on-court use playing basketball and volleyball. So far, I’m very happy with how they are holding up and my feet are even happier to not be crammed into standard court shoes!
That’s awesome to hear, Karl! Using the Strand ATRs for court sports is a bold move and we’re thrilled they’re holding up well—and even better that your feet are feeling free and comfortable.

Tim ‘s review on the shoe
I do like the shoes I did make an upgrade. I have a size bigger, which is actually perfect. Definitely different. Feeling still working on getting used to him but pretty amazing overall.
That’s incredible to hear, Brett. We’re so glad the Strand ATRs are helping with your recovery and easing your pain. Wishing you continued healing and comfort with every step!

Game Changer!!!
I ran in my new Peluva shoes today for the first time. Wow, just wow!!! Not only did I run twice as far as I normally do but my feet, calves and ankles had zero pain. I normally don't sprint during my jog but found myself sprinting several times impulsively. Amazing. I feel these shoes are life changing. Thank you for such an amazing product. Game Changer!!!
Wow, thank you! That’s such an exciting update. We’re thrilled to hear your first run felt that powerful and pain-free—and spontaneous sprints? That’s the kind of feedback we love. So glad Peluvas are making a difference for you!

A1 for every day walking.
These are my favorite shoes. They are insanely durable and so comfy. 10/10 for sure.
She has been great so far every time I’ve worn them they feel very comfortable and my foot feels more engaged. I should’ve purchased more toe socks, and unfortunately, the size I need are on backorder. Time is still needed to determine what my long-term opinion is, but so far so good!
