Comfy and stylish

I bought these shoes because they were thicker and more sturdy than my Five Fingers shoes. I'm delighted--they are comfortable and firm like sneakers that I'm familiar with. The added leather makes the shoe quite impressive.

Snug but good fit

Just a couple of days of using this shoe. Feeling that it is correcting some subtle intrinsic foot dysfunction by having the toes "spread out" for the 5 toes, shoe/foot feels better at the end of day. Grips the pavement very well. Feels like the right amount of cushion while still keeping this a minimalist shoe. I order my normal size which feels very snug, if I went a half size larger it most likely would have been too big.

Great shoes for everyday and sportswear!! Love to Pickle in them!

I have been wearing Toe shoes for 25+ years. These Peluva Strand shoes are the perfect style, easy to put on, are very comfortable and fit well. I like play pickleball and these are the perfect shoe to play in, as have bunions and cannot wear regular court shoes without pain. Loving my feet in these shoes !!

Amazed

I have had leg pain for over 20 years when I walk for exercise. Since wearing these, I have had no leg pain. It's amazing!! My toes go into their spots easier just after 5 days of wearing them! They look funkier than I thought they would, but if they take the pain away and allow me to exercise pain free, I am sold!

Amazing!

I cannot begin to describe how good it felt to put these on. It's like having a knot in your back that finally gets released. I have always had larger and wide feet. Regular shoes have caused me numerous ingrown toenails that lead to multiple painful surgeries. I already switched to minimalist shoes, but they don't force your toes to fix themselves into the proper alignment. These shoes do and my balance, coordination, and ability to run long distances have all prospered due to these shoes. I will absolutely buy another pair in the future. Thank you!!

As advertised

These are great- didn’t skip and slide in my full toe box barefoot shoes. I’ve worn them comfortably to the gym and washed them several times with no complaints. I’ll definitely be back to buy a few more pairs & would love to see a higher sock option as well.

Best Barefoot Shoe!

I wear my Peluva Trainers every single day and I absolutely love them. I’ve tried various brands of barefoot shoes over the years and these are by far my favorite. They are comfortable, functional, provide stable contact with the ground and they look great. I use them mostly for weightlifting, walking my dogs and getting out around town. My anterior tilt has even resolved since I’ve started wearing them. The process of putting them on might take a little bit of getting used to if you’ve never done it before, but now it doesn’t take me any longer than putting on regular shoes. Socks definitely help and I recommend getting those too. This is my go to shoe!

Love 'em!

I've had these shoes for about 8 months now. I went from wearing New Balance and Asics running shoes for every day activities to Peluvas. My feet were used to all the arch support and cushion I got with the other shoes, so there was an adjustment period switching to a minimalist shoe like Peluva. I started off by wearing the Peluvas everywhere and for everything. For the first week or two, my feet would hurt a bit sometimes after walking in them for a while, but it wasn't unbearable, and I also expected this. I run in them, bike in them, hike in them, and they're still going strong. After about 6 months though, I tore a very small hole in the big toe portion of the left foot, probably while hiking and running around. But it hasn't gotten any bigger, so that's a plus. I love how light and airy the shoes are. My feet typically sweat a lot when I wear shoes, but these are the only shoes I've ever worn where my feet don't sweat excessively. Whether I'm standing still or exercising, my feet always come out nice and dry. I thought having something in-between my toes might bother me, it did take me a few days to get used to the feeling, but I don't mind it at all, in fact I prefer for my toes to be separated now. Even with the fact that they got a small hole in them after 6 months, I still give em a 5/5 cause the hole hasn't gotten any bigger, which is very surprising considering I use my Peluvas for everything. I plan on getting a pair of black ones once they're back in stock.

I enjoy the lightweight trainer

I prefer white and enjoy the very light feeling of this pair. The fit is very good.

Ok without the shoes

They didn't fit well with the Peluva shoes but in general they were fine

Comfortable and supportive.

The only shoe that my flat feet don’t need an insole for. My feet feel so much better and more comfortable AND supported from heel to toe….. Each, and every toe.

A review and a question

I, at first, was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to wear the shoe glove as my family calls them. All my toes are “hammer toes.” I ordered size 9.5. That’s the size I get when I buy regular leather shoes. When I but running shoes, I buy size 10 because I always wear rather thick socks. I was surprised at how close the fit was. My big toe is at the very end of the space provided. At first the shoes did not seem to fit well, but I never gave up on them, and now they fit great. This morning I had an important meeting with my financial advisors. I first put on my Brooks running shoes. I didn’t want to wear them. I changed to my Peluvas and my feet felt great. Now I need your help. When winter comes I’ll need socks. Should I go to size 10?

Response from Peluva

Thank you for sharing your experience and positive feedback on the Peluva shoes. We're glad to hear that they've become a comfortable fit for you over time. Regarding your question about winter socks, if you typically wear thicker socks during the colder months, we recommend considering a half size up to a size 10 for additional comfort. This should provide enough room for the thicker socks without compromising the fit. If you need further assistance, please reach out to our customer email support.

I love these shoes

I am familiar with Vibram Five Fingers and also have work Inov-8 shoes for minimal soles. These shoes are amazing. I just took them touring in the redwood forests of northern California and the were SO comfortable. Thank you
