Very nice

My feet were sore when I first used them for a long session but my feet adapted almost the next day and for most people it might take longer or there feet might be 10x sore because I go barefoot a lot but I do recommend.

Great shoe!

I was skeptical at first and it turned out I’m a huge fan! It took no time for me to acclimate to them and they are comfortable beyond belief, I can’t wait to buy another pair!

A pretty good shoe

Bottom Line: I like and would recommend this shoe, but probably never at full price + Comfortable + Nice support + Reasonably flexible + Nice presentation/packaging + Looks so great I didn't want to wear it = Long term durability is unknown = Priced somewhat similarly to direct competitors, e.g. Vibram = Special socks needed with this shoe, but socks are optional = The back arch of the shoe can be uncomfortable if you don't wear socks - Fewer sizing options than competitors offering UK sizing - Shoelaces are too long and may need to be trimmed - $140 (minus tax) is still a lot to ask for compared to alternative minimalist shoe options

Great shoe, great customer service!

I am really enjoying this shoe! When I ordered I did the scan of my foot and they recommended the half size larger than my normal size. But when I got them my big toes and pinky toes felt like they were going to break out of the fabric. I reached out to the customer service to see if I could go up another half size. They responded very quickly! Sent me the return shipping label immediately and sent out the new size as soon as I dropped off the other shoes at ups. The new size worked great! The shoes do take time to get used to so be patient. But I really like them!!

Head-turning shoes

These shoes are great and take a little bit of getting used to. They fit well with or without the socks. When running, it feels like you’re running in bare feet. Noticed a little change in posture during a short run. The longer I wore them, the better they felt. Looking forward to the, wearing in for a better fit. Got some double takes when people saw the shoes and weren’t sure what they were looking at.

Form fitting socks

Socks fit well, like a glove for your feet. After wearing them for a few hours, they did show a little bit of wear, possibly due to everything being new and getting worn in. Will see how they last in the long run.

Fantastic shoes!

Most comfortable shoes I have purchased. The individual toe articulation combined with just enough stack height make them perfect to wear all day long.

5 Stars

Very comfortable. I've been wearing the Vibram Five Fingers for over 10 years. Have tried other brands of tie shoes and never liked the fit. These fit great and are very comfortable. Won't totally replace my Vibram, but a very good alternative that will get frequent wear for me. Especially if it's wet outside since the thicker soles will help prevent my feet getting wet.

Fun shoe

Can't seem to get my little toe into the last toe slot maybe I will go up a size for my next order because I want a black pair.

Peluva > Vibram

I'm been a five-finger fan for years and never thought I'd ever stray from my favorite Vibrams, but then Peluva showed up and here I am! While I still like going more minimal with the very light el-x from vibram, I instantly felt pampered just walking in the Strands. I haven't trained in them yet since I tend to go barefoot for lifting, but I will easily be getting more from Peluva now.

Love them

My toes are still trying to figure out what’s going on but they’re adjusting nicely. The overall feel is of balance and ‘groundedness’. And they’re comfortable on any terrain.

Love them!

Comfortable and feels great on the foot. Hugs your foot, and you are can feel your feet working with you and the ground. Regular shoes don't feel the same now! Love these!

I usually hate wearing socks

A friend gave me a pair and I finally got around to trying them since I'm always barefoot. I love them so much I'm ordering several pairs. It's the first time I've ever enjoyed wearing something on my feet.
