Feeling great so far! I usually don't wear shoes around the house, but I have been to get used to these shoes. Now that I'm more used to them, I've been continuing to wear them around the house because they feel so nice. The only downside I've noticed is that they are very hot. I've had to take them off from time to time to air them out and cool off my feet.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI’ve used them for a couple weeks now and still getting used to them! I think I will end up liking them a lot, but if I’m gonna do any running, I still use my running shoes! Maybe eventually I can use these if I’m going to run! I put about 20 miles a week on them for the last two weeks!
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI have cross over toe. This helps. I’m m using them at home and for strength and yoga training.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerWore there twice all day. No foot pain. Which i do have with most shoes. These are light weight. Easy to put on. I will try them for a few mo ths. Might try another style. They're not good for any rough outdoor terrain. Twigs and pine needles go through the fabric and between toes.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerThings are still new , slowly seeing how they work for me.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerLove 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.
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!
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.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI 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!
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI'm loving mine so far. It's still a little bit of a struggle to get my toes in but it's worth it.

Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerThe fit of the shoe is comfortable for width and toe spacing. Challenging to get on, but this is a lace up style, so I can loosen / open the shoe to fit my hand in on top of the foot to help guide the toes into place. Takes some practice and patience
Great shoes, the only thing is that I got really bad blisters.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerIf your second toe is your longest, order a full size larger than what the foot scanning app measures. The app apparently measures for a foot where the big toe is longest. The Strand is very comfortable and is overall a beautiful shoe. The issue is that the top center of the heel collar has a bump that caused a red mark on my ankle after wearing for just a few minutes inside. After reading the review about the shoe rubbing a bleeding blister from the exact same defect, it confirmed to me that the same outcome would be inevitable. I will unfortunately be returning the Strand. I am hopeful that in a year or so Peluva will resolve this issue with the heel collar so I can give this shoe another try. I was disappointed with this issue because the shoe was otherwise incredibly comfortable and perfect in every other way. I did keep my Zen Suede Slip-On, which is my favorite shoe I own. Due to the material, there is no heel collar issue and it is amazingly comfortable.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerBought these for my teen - this is what she had to say : A thicker sole than I was expecting , however, this is my first pair of barefoot shoes so that may be the norm. I love the toe spread-ability and the overall feel of the shoe. I will definitely recommend these. (She’s got me convinced)
Comfortable except for pinky toe on right foot. there is something in the seam that is sharp and rubs.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerThe pink was a lot more fuschia and less salmon-y than I thought it would be from the photos, but I’m okay with that. My feet are 24.5-24.8 cm long and 10.5 cm wide, and the Peluva 9.5 size was a decent fit. Not wide enough but the cloth gives way enough to be comfortable. I am enjoying working my toes, how grippy they are, and was surprised that the stack height feels great, as I normally prefer a more minimalist feel. I would love more choices in terms of width and stack height. I would also love a cotton or canvas option for a more natural feel. Overall, though, very comfy, I’m glad I purchased them, and they’re now my everyday shoes.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerLove everything about them minus the material. The polyester makes my feet sweat like crazy!! Would love to have a wool or leather variety and wouldn’t mind the extra cost…
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerVery comfortable. I had to go up a size as the large toe was not long enough in my regular size. Exchange was very easy and quick.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI love them, comfortable, easy to put on, correcting my unbalanced hips, fixing my feet…..on and on! However, they stink! I have tried shoe spray, and medicated foot powder. They still stink every time and they make my feet stink. I have never had this (and still don’t) with any other shoes, sandals, slippers, socks, flip flops I have had on my 70+ year old feet! Please make some better stink-proof inside for these wonderful shoes and I will wear nothing else!
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI’m still breaking them in. But very excited to use them for my daily walk as I love going barefoot!
I am grateful there is finally a shoe that eliminates the pain my neuroma causes. With the spread of my toes, the nerve between my foot bones does not get pinched, and I feel no pain walking. Also it helps my balance because spreading the toes makes the shoe wider and more stable. The sole has enough cushioning for walking on asphalt. HOWEVER, THE SHAPE OF THE SHOE NEEDS IMPROVEMENT‼️ This shoe is shaped for people with wide feet and short toes, basically Asian feet. Please consider the European shaped foot, and make two versions for every size.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerThey seemed awesome when I put them on, well built and comfy. Unfortunately they were too small. I wear an 11 in every shoe I own, but these did not fit. Unfortunately, that is their biggest size. I have not had luck in men's sizes before as I have a narrow foot. I am deciding whether to try the men's. Return process was easy so far, but I have not received my money back yet.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerSo far, I’m liking the Peluva Strand. I am not new to barefoot/minimalist shoes, but I am new to toe shoes, and I definitely had to adjust to the feeling. First wear felt very odd, but second much longer wear felt more natural and comfortable. I really do enjoy these shoes and they look very stylish, but quality could use a little improvement when compared to the price.
