My experience so far

I enjoy using these shoes for errands etc. I will next try using them for lifting weights (not cardio yet). So far like them. I had to return one pair and go up 1/2 size (a result of initially depending on the photo app link). I forgot to upsize the socks to the 11 and up size, so I just wear without socks for now. I am not sure wether I will use socks with these.

First rate service

They processed my exchange quickly and efficiently, and I had the correct size in no time!

Simply amazing, I forget I'm even wearing them.

I gave these a stress test right out of the box...volunteering at the local food pantry for 6 hours straight...all on a cement floor. At the end of my shift, I was amazed at how little fatigue I felt in my feet, legs, or back, compared to my usual state of exhaustion. I've worn nothing else since, and plan to acquire another pair soon!

Great sneakers!

Just ordered my second pair. Strengthens your feet while giving you protection from the outside elements.

Toes are soooo happy now

I love the shoes but I really love the socks! I hate how women's socks squeeze your toes together. I have a wide foot and was searching for the perfect fit. The shoes were the best and I bough a pair of socks to go with them and WOW, I bought 5 more pairs of the socks, I wear them all the time now. It's getting colder and I wonder if a taller sock might be coming? Love these!

LOVE MY SHOES

I love, love, love these shoes so comfortable perfect fit -- I just wish (keeping my fingers crossed 😊) that you would think about making them in black suede/leather.

Comfortable and durable

I tried the Vibram shoes about a decade ago. They took a bit of time to adjust to, but I never got the the point where I wanted to wear them every day. The Strand was very easy to adjust to, and even walking on hard surfaces they were comfortable and durable. I've been wearing them every day I can since winter is coming and I don't think these will be very good in the snow, and are not good in the rain, as the breathable fabric lets water in as well as out. I've experimented with walking on trails, and they work just fine, but they get dirty very quickly. I can see why the high top version is in a color that won't show dirt as well, and I'll buy a pair this spring when hiking starts up again, after the snow melts. I've worn them with an without socks, both work well. Without socks they will pick up stink and moisture but I got a simple shoe dryer, and that problem was solved. With socks they are a bit more comfortable and moisture control is a bit better. Overall I'm very happy with the Strand, and look forward to trying additional models when spring arrives.

Tried these for Morton's Neuroma relief

I believe conventional shoes have damaged the nerves in my feet, so I've been searching for the holy grail of footwear. It took a few days for me to get comfortable with the new sensations around my toes, but I'm starting to wonder if I could ever go back to the "normal" old foot mittens.

Comfortable and great alternative to VFF's

Received these recently. Peluva Strand, in Black/White, size US 10 (mens). I wear EU43 on most shoes, including VFF's, which would be about 9.5 in most shoes, but given their website recommendations suggested by StrufFit, I went with the recommended size 10. It was spot on - the shoes fit great (wearing them right now with the thin socks - I will report later on the thicker socks). I had various Lems (Primal Zen, Primal 2, and 9to5), and once I got used to the VFF's, I "had" to sell the Lems as they felt "spongy" soft. I have to admit I was worried about these Peluvas being the same/similar, since they have a rather "thick" 9mm stack, but after wearing them today all afternoon, the insoles in these are not "soft" - not like the Lems. You can totally feel the higher/thick 9mm insole compared to my trusty VFF's (here compared to my V-Alphas) but whatever the material/density is, they feel fairly firm. The upper is very comfy, and the shoe is wide enough for me. So far, so good . I will report more as I put some miles in them.

I’m in love

First day was a little bit weird, then second day I was in love already and now I don’t want to wear other shoes that are not Peluva. I did like they recommend and bought half size bigger, but since my feet are skinny, it could have been my regular size. Even though slightly bigger, it fits good! I used to feel pain and discomfort on my feet after work and once I started wearing my Peluvas to work, I never felt better, no more tired feet! I supper recommend!

Comfortable and great customer service

I was impressed when I first tried the shoes on. They were comfortable and made my feet feel great after walking with them around my house for 5min. I did originally get a size too small but customer service allowed me to make the exchange and that process was very easy!!! I love my Peluva shoes and will probably get them in black as well!

I had my doubts, but...

First off let me congratulate the customer service at Peluva. I used the digital app to determine size and it was a bit tight. Reached out to customer service and they provided a shipping label to send the old size in and I got the new 1 size up replacement in about 4 days. Secondly, due to the unconventional nature of the shoe I had my doubts regarding comfort and ease of wear. Those doubts have been smashed this is perhaps the most comfortable shoe I own and within two days I'm able to slide my feet in without untying the shoe. As a bonus the synthetic material on the upper is very breathable and super easy to clean with a damp towel. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.
