My 1st pair of Peluvas

Putting them on has been a challenge, but as was mentioned it does get easier. I love the way they feel when I walk and exercise and my feet are already getting accustomed to them. I think I want to try them on with socks next to see how that feels.

Glad you’re sticking with them through the break-in process. It’s awesome to hear they’re feeling great during walks and workouts. Trying them with socks could be a good next step to fine-tune the comfort!

Need to size up a size. Concerned that the soles may not last an incredibly long time but I purchased unlimited returns for the shoe which is comforting. My flat feet aren't getting tired and aching using Peluva shoes. And I'm seriously considering transitioning to Peluva's as the primary or full-time shoes.

I wish they came in different colors. I want to buy another pair, but not the same color

Appreciate the love for the Strand Sport Mesh, Carlos! We’re always working on new colorways, so keep an eye out, hopefully we’ll have something fresh for you soon.

Good shoe

I like these to work out in andnto wear at work. They do run a little smaller than the other two different styles I have which are the golf shoes and the white work out shoe.

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the feedback, Moji! Glad you’re enjoying them overall. And yes, our Strand Sport Mesh does tend to run a bit small, so going up a half or full size is a smart move. Appreciate your support!

In theory, great

Wearing these toe shoes has helped with waking back up my fourth and littlest toes on my right foot, which may have sort of gone offline since a medial knee injury a few years ago where I developed a new holding pattern in my right leg. I will probably wear the shoes more next summer. The weather is becoming a bit cold for them already. These are my first barefoot shoes so I can’t compare them to other barefoot brands. The fit is great (snug) and I think there is real benefit to toe strengthening and dexterity, so I don’t want to do anyone a disservice by reviewing too negatively. I’m just not sure that they’re worth the money when compared against traditional shoes, because I don’t think there’s actually much that you can do in them. There’s not much I can do in mine, at least. I wanted to be able to use them while at work (massage therapy) for better grounding, but the strange thick carpet we have there proved pretty incompatible with these shoes for getting good leverage, so that is a bummer. I’m only reviewing because peluva have emailed me three or four times now asking me to; So, okay then, here’s my experience. I wouldn’t do it again, probably (purchase $140 barefoot shoes) as much as I wish that they could resolve or reverse the physiological ills that modern living and footwear have rendered upon our bodies and our feet. Their potential for feeling beneficial differs dramatically depending on the flooring of the building or place that you’re in. They may continue to be a piece of the puzzle in deterring / slowing decay, but decay’s ravenous appetite will eventually glut itself on us all no matter whether we wiggle our toes daily or not. Hug your loved ones lol

Thanks for the thoughtful and honest review. We really appreciate the insight into your experience, especially how the shoes are helping with toe awareness and recovery. While they might not be the perfect fit for every setting, we’re glad they’re offering at least a piece of the puzzle in your journey.

Great feel to the shoe and an everyday basis. I had a rough time get my size correct as the sizing app was not close to my needed size. I find the shoes required a larger size than all other shoes I have purchased. The customer support was excellent and I went through my sizing dilemma.

More comfortable than you think

Love how my feet feel free to move with no restrictions! Very light breathable material! My only gripe is that wear the sole meets the mesh material (white rubber outsole) doesn’t feel great but after you break em in they feel better. Definitely order a full size up.

Thanks for sharing, Bryan! Great tip on sizing and totally agree, once they break in, it’s a whole different comfort level.

First ever toe shoes

Large toe areas even with socks on you can order your size and still have plenty of room . They are comfortable, do wish the souls were a little thicker. Wouldn’t want to step on a tack .

Thanks for the feedback, Eugene! We’re glad you’re enjoying your first pair of toe shoes. We’ll definitely pass along your suggestion about the sole thickness!

Comfortable and well made.

I walk. I have been getting into the "barefoot" zero drop shoes for a while now. These are my first pair of TOE shoes. Have only had these for about a month. They feel really great - on my feet and with my gait. I hope they will last. I have no reason to doubt that they will, but it's too soon to tell at this point. I'm a size 12 and still working on restoring my splay so i struggle a bit putting these on. They are absolutely PERFECT sizewize, but getting my toes in where they are supposed to be (for me) is a little bit of a undertaking. That's ME, not the shoes. Very happy with these so far.

Thanks for sharing, Gary! We’re glad you’re enjoying the shift into toe shoes and feeling the difference in your walk. Breaking them in and getting toes aligned can be a learning curve, but it sounds like you’re on the right track.

Sensible Sport Shoe

I like my peluvas. I am not sure if I got the right size. I have worned them twice and they seem to be loosening up. They are practical and I can feel a slight difference in my feet formation. I half size larger might be more appropriate. Overall, I will stay with them. I am walking around in the house to really put them to use.

Good Shoes

These are good shoes. One of them got a small separation on the front at the big toe because I didn’t know that climbing trees would cause the rubber on the toe to come apart from the shoe, but besides that, they are great shoes. (A dab of shoe goo easily fixed the problem.) I wear them every day. I love the new design. It looks so cool and they feel so nice. Thank you, Peluva, for the sic design!

Good show, but wear with socks

So I’ve had these for a week or two now. My right foot that was bothering me has either improved a little or at least isn’t getting worse when I walk like what would happen in my old shoes so I’m definitely encouraged to keep using them to see if I can improve things long term. The analogy of walking on a putting green is definitely accurate, and I fell a good foot to ground connection without worrying about stepping on something sharp. One criticism I have is with that flap on the back near the heel. When I wore these barefoot I got a blister on one of my heels by the end of a relatively short walk. I’m fine when wearing the socks which I prefer anyway, but something to keep in mind and will want to test over short distances first.

Third time is a charm

Customer service is awesome. I wish I were not so familiar with it though. In most shoes, I wear a 12. I deferred to the judgment of the sizing app and ordered 11.5. Too small. Sent back and ordered my usual 12. Still too small. Finally got a pair in 12.5. Good fit, but I wouldn't want them even the slightest bit smaller than they are. I've had several pairs of Vibrams, and these are different. A nice compromise of cushioning while still allowing good info about the ground beneath my feet. I wore them for a week, doing my home health PTA job, which is a mix of standing in a variety of environments and driving. I have briskly walked a paved, hilly, 2-mile loop in my neighborhood. So far, so good.

Nice quality shoe

I like the quality of these shoes. I am having difficulty wearing them because I'm not use to the design obviously. I'm wearing them around the house for now. So far I don't want to send them back. Yet!
