peluvs shoes

Really like my new peluva shoes. I can feel my toes spread out in them and it feels like your grounded to the floor. I initially bought them to try and straighten the bunoin on my big toe and its helping with that problem, but i can tell you there really comfortable to wear.

Good fit

I’ve ordered two pair. This pair fits great, my toes go into each sleeve. The second pair I’ve ordered (the grey pair) don’t fit as good.

Functional

I have been wearing these shoes daily for just over a year, and they have not fallen apart yet. I will say these are good for beginners just getting into the barefoot or zero drop style. Coming from regular shoes, these took at least a month to break in and for my feet to stop hurting in them, I wear them at work 6-8 hours a day walking and standing. Once my feet adjusted to the this style of shoe, they felt amazing to put on, tho my feet still get sore from walking 6-8, but they never hurt the next morning. These are thicker, and not as flexible, than most barefoot shoes, and they provide a bit of cushion for walking on hard surfaces, like tile, or pavement. They are still too thin for winter, any weather below 40F, just make sure you aren't outside too long, I swap to a fuzzy zero drop boot for winter. I highly recommend giving these a shot if you are new to zero drop or barefoot shoes, BUT, I would personally price tag these around $80-90. I bought them at $120, they are now around $150, I'm sure the R&D may cost a lot, and inflation is, you know, but the quality of the physical shoe materials is seems the same as any other shoe. Due to the increase in cost I will not be buying these again once I need new shoes. If money is not an issue, they are still a great shoe to try!

Never ever been a fan of toe shoes but when I tell you these are amazing to train and walk in . A 12 normal in shoes so I got a 13. Could’ve been ok with a 12.5

Very Comfortable Shoes and Great Customer Service

I've been able to wear these a couple times and find them very comfortable. Since I like to wear socks, I did order a half size up. It takes a little getting used to them being flat (no heel raise), but you get used to that pretty quick. What I really want to highlight is just how good customer service is. My original order got lost in Ft Worth, Texas, by UPS. As soon as I brought this to Peluva's attention, they responded quickly and a replacement order was sent. Thank you to the Peluva team for great service!

Great shoe. Half size up was perfect advice. Not going to win fashion awards, but feet feel great.

Great out of the box

Great design, comfort and foot feel. Thanks for the sizing guide. I thought the recommendation to size up could be a problem, but you got it right. I’ll be buying more.

My Most Worn Pair

These shoes are just as comfortable as the other three Peluvas models I have. I would actually like some in other colors. I have a white pair that doesn't seem to be available (or I missed them) anymore. It's hard to pick a favorite, sooo... I have favorites for different purposes: First, the lightweight trainers are the ones I walk around in public the most with. Pretty plain in style, but just as comfortable as the rest. I'd say they're a pretty good style to start with if you care about people's comments. To be fair, the comments I've gotten have ranged from "how do you like those?" Too "those are cool! Do they feel good?" Boots to give the folks at work less of an argument to say I should wear more stereotypical in the office :P Mesh are the most breathable and I love running in them, which means they're a bit discolored due to running through fields of unmanaged dandelions. Dang things like to get between your toes. These are my dirty pair. The lightweight trainers are the ones I walk around in public the most with. Pretty plain, but just as comfortable. The Zen style is super comfy for around the house and a late night run to somewhere you don't care of they think you're too cozy to be out and about, but other people wear the equivalent of PJs in public, so there!

Great feeling

Been wearing toe shoes for years. Took a chance on the Peluva brand. I'm not regretting it. It literally feels like every step is on a plush lawn or like walking on a soft mat. You can certainly still feel the changes in the ground you're walking on. I bought these as double duty shoes; work shoes (LMT) and general walking shoes. My feet are feeling great at the end of the day!

Most Comfortable Trainers 👟

Love the quality they’re made out of! The neoprene is very sweat resistant and the shoe is definitely lightweight as described. I’m able to run in them at the gym. Good buy!

Perfect work shoes

I love these shoes. The material is perfect for work. They are so comfortable I have to check to make sure I have shoes on. They are right. If u wear socks go half a size up.

Great shoes!

These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. It took a while to get the right size due to my second toe being longer than my big toe. Once I figured it out, and I got the right size, they were great.

Very good

I prefer it more than my regular running shoe for training. I wouldn't wear it as a daily activity for like shopping or dinning out. The toes bend nicely backwards but not as well forwards so I tend to just take them off anyways when stretching
