The shoe is great, and I love the feel, like im walking barefooted all day. The only issue I have is that even though I oedered a pair one size up, the toe sleeves are just a tad too short for my long toes. I still wear them, just without socks.

Shoes are amazing for your feet!
Yes you may get weird look in public at first, but after a while wearing them, the benefits of having a stronger, healthier feet outweigh anything else. It’s hard to wear regular shoes after wearing Peluva for a while!
Appreciate your feedback, Giovanni! We’re glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer is making a real difference for you. Strong, healthy feet are always worth it!

My hips don’t lie!
Love to wear everywhere I can, but the insides seem to be wearing out after only three weeks. I can enjoy my short walks, because my hips don’t ache and my body feels aligned. My tips of toes feel sore after long walks, so I will need to go up in size for the next pair.
Thanks for the feedback, Cid! We're glad you're enjoying the look and convenience of the Miami Casual Loafer. We appreciate you sharing your experience!

Happy Toes!
While I love the concept, I’d love to see them made in a. natural fabric like wool or cotton. This would improve the comfort of barefoot wearing as well.
We're glad you're enjoying the Strand Sport Mesh, and we appreciate your suggestion about natural fabrics. Thanks for the feedback!

Walking barefoot
Love how comfortable these shoes are. I wear them for long walks and for leg day’s at the gym. Just wish I liked the look of the toe shoes more. Feels like walking barefoot!
Thanks for the feedback, Heidi! We're glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer is keeping you comfortable during walks and workouts. Totally understand the look isn’t for everyone, but that barefoot feel makes a big difference!

Experience with Peluva
I love, love, love the shoes. Was less than amused when I bought a pair that I didn’t like the color it cost like $ 20.00 to return because, I didn’t purchase some what if I don’t like them insurance, that I didn’t see, and what if I did like them that was money wasted for me. The socks are not good quality.
Even tho I’m less than amused with the return policy and the socks. I love the shoes. Everyone comments on them and I rave about them. The shoes are comfortable, love the concept. Need to figure out a way to wear them without the socks and the insides getting so stinky.

Pretty Good
It took a little bit to get each toe in its place, but now I can put my new socks on pretty quickly. Comfortable socks that free my toesies.
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Ultra Move Crew Socks, Anthony! It can take a little time to get used to toe socks, but once you do, they’re a game changer. Enjoy the comfort and toe freedom!

So close to absolutely perfect!
I am a nurse and I have been wearing these more and more to work each week. My feet are slowly adapting to the toe splay🤗 I only have one negative and it’s no fault of the shoe. My toes are short and the material between my second and third toe pushes in really hard. It makes that spot pretty sore by the end of the day.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Strand ATR, Holly! It’s great that your feet are adjusting to the toe splay. Since the material between your toes feels tight, toe socks might help reduce friction and add some comfort. If the discomfort persists, feel free to reach out to support@peluva.com for guidance. We appreciate your support and all that you do as a nurse!

Unexpected
It hadn’t occurred to me when I ordered that these might not work for me, but I would have been wrong. I have MS and drop foot. The toes on that foot have reduced feeling and blood flow. The first day, Cramming those toes into the shoe was almost impossible and with each day easier and I think the blood flow to those toes has greatly increased. I’m using them when I’m on the treadmill.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Shelley! We're so glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer is working for you and even helping with blood flow. Adjusting to toe shoes can take time, but it’s great to hear they’re getting easier to wear each day. Wishing you continued comfort and success with them on the treadmill!
Love the idea of the barefoot as a fitness professional for over 35 yrs of teaching , training and gym owner.
I’d been intrigued by the science of barefoot training so decided to take the plunge after listening to Chalenes podcast. The only issue for me was that the back rubbed the skin off my heels and can’t wear again until they heal. will try them again-perhaps it’s a sizing issue…
Glad you’re enjoying the Strand Sport Mesh and exploring barefoot training! Heel rubbing can happen during break-in or if the fit isn’t quite right. Toe socks or a different size may help. If the issue persists, reach out to support@peluva.com. Hope you heal quickly and can enjoy them again soon!

I wish I didn't have to wear socks. They're just not soft enough in the toe boxes for it though. I like them with socks
This is my first pair of toe shoes like this. At first it was a bit awkward to put them on and wear around. After about 2 weeks of breaking them in at the gym they have become my favorite shoes ever. After over a month of wearing them it's difficult to go back to normal shoes. I mostly wear them to the gym and daily activities. It's helped my balance and over all stability. My leg days at the gym are much more comfortable now. I'm also able to push more weight since my balance and foot stance has improved. I was basically walking on my pinky toes in regular shoes. Now that my toes can spread out properly they don't want to squeeze into regular shoes. I was surprised that my toes maintain their new found spacing even when barefoot!
I'm very happy with my purchase. I barely even feel my peluvas when wearing them. It's very much like walking barefoot. I've never in my life been excited to wear shoes before. I've owned some cool shoes, but never any I was excited to actually put on and walk in lol.
I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the spot between the toes where the top of the shoe meets the sole isn't very well attached. There are small gaps exposing the threading that allow grass and sticks to poke through. I thought it might just be my pair b I t we checked my brothers and his had the same gaps. Not a huge deal as I will avoid going off pavement/trail with them now that I know. It's just uncomfortable to walk off trail or through grass.
The socks are great. Unfortunately I think I have longer than average toes? The toes are a little short for me but they seem to stretch out after a bit of walking. Other than the toes being tight they're great socks and work well with the shoes.
Thanks for your feedback, James! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Ultra Move Ankle Socks overall. The snug toe fit can take some adjusting, but it’s good to know they stretch out with wear. We appreciate your support and insight!

Love the idea!
I understand the value of barefoot training a a fitness instructor and trainer for over 35 yrs. I have been using these, but got blisters on both heels the very first day so now am wearing band aids to walk with them. Not sure if it’s a fabric or fit issue but will stick it out awhile longer as I know it’s not good to always be in “corrected” footwear!
