A M A Z I N G ! !

I believe these peluva loafers are truly unique to anything on the market! I arrived home to just days ago, only to just try to break them in, indoors, as everyone has said. Although I did go a half size larger, they run awfully tight. I received many compliments especially today while at a couple of salons & having been in the healthcare world, I went ahead & sold the health values of wearing a pair of Peluva’s to the group! I went onto your site & shared the information to purchase with 2 customer & 2 hairstylists. After explaining all the research I had learned, I think I laid relevant facts as they agreed & said money is NO object if it’s going to make me feel as good as you said they will! I WAS & AM truly happy that occured today, I really care about people & want to spread the word on PELUVA!! I wish I was an affiliate because I promote what really & truly works! I cannot return these as they’re worn, but need to go ahead & purchase another pair, but this time a size 9, hopefully you’re going to have the black socks in by then! Thank you for reaching out & I will for sure take pictures & write a nice review! Are the openings a bit larger with size? Feel free to contact me at (321) 501-4902 leaving a voicemail, so I can have these ordered by tomorrow please? Since white peluva socks weren’t available I don’t know if it needs to be bigger? I thank you in advance!

Nice shoe, runs small

They 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.

Super Light

Shoes feel lovely to walk in. As they are so light it almost feels like I don't have shoes on at all. I found it a bit difficult to get all my toes in the right slots since they are not used to being splayed. Hopefully this will change the more I wear them. The fit is pretty much perfect apart from my big toe which is kind of pushing against the end. When I look at the shoe itself the big toe and second toe are basically the same length. When I look at my foot however, my big toe is longer the my second toe. Either I have weird toes or hopefully the big toe section of the shoe will stretch a little the more I wear them. Have only had the shoes for 24 hours and I am sure they will become more comfortable to wear in the weeks ahead.

Like yoga for your feet

Love them. Make me want to climb things and jump on stuff. Feet feel rejuvenated after a walk with the dog . You should make a more trail orientated shoe that could stand up to more rugged condition.

Great fit, nice spreading of toes. However , it is very lightweight. Would like to see a version that has a more durable sole for outdoor trail hiking

Like the shoes: need bigger socks.

When I wear the shoes with socks, they are comfortable, but the socks tug on my toenails, which is not comfortable. Without socks, one of my toes rubs against the inside of the shoe, so I need to wear (a larger size) sock to make everything completely comfortable.

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

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.

4 Stars

I love the alignment they give my toes, but being that I've strictly worn barefoot shoes for the last 5 years, the thickness of these was a little off-putting. Definitely was a learning curve using them, but overall, i like them.

Comfy but

So 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.

Good shoes, but still slightly stiff

I really like these shoes. I feel it's helped my pinky toe really reacclimate to a more balanced stance. My only criticism is that even if those social media influencer promoting the shoe display the overall flexibility, the sole is still a bit stiff despite illustrations of showing otherwise. I can't flex my toes inward. It is a tadbit water resistant, which I did not expect. I still think it's a good shoes

I Really Like Them

These are great! I have been following Mark since the beginning for the most part. I remember when I emailed him as I had fallen off the Primal Blueprint eating plan wagon, and he emailed me back! I still have the email too. Anyway, nowadays that is probably rare, but He's helped me a lot. I started wearing the Vibram Five Fingers, and they were cool, and I still have my three pairs, but these Peluva's are INCREDIBLE! I love them and wish I could wear them all the time. Unfortunately I can't because of my long toes, but I CAN workout and walk in them. I do get a a blister on one of my long toes, but that's an issue because of my feet not the Peluva's. I walk many miles in them and I can tell you the feedback that I feel in my feet and legs is insane and great! I don't even want to wear my Nike's anymore. I wish there was a version for us folks in the colder climates. Maybe it's in the works. Now why didn't I give it a perfect five stars? The shoe laces. OMGosh they are so long. Like why. I don't get it and it's annoying. Other than that these are fantastic. If you are on the fence, don't wait, buy them!

Thrilled you love them! For the tight spot near the pinky toe, we suggest gently stretching the area. Also, consider using thinner socks to alleviate pressure. We're here to help, so please reach out to our customer support for more tips or if you need further assistance. We appreciate your feedback on the shoe laces too; we'll take that into consideration for future designs.

Thrilled you love the Strand! For the snug pinky toe, consider gently stretching the shoe or opting for a thicker sock. If the issue remains, please reach out to our customer support. We're eager to ensure a perfect fit for you.

Comfortable though bulky for a minimalist

This shoe is very comfortable. It is extremely cushy for a minimalist shoe, though it feels a little bulky and is a little wide for my foot. I have ran either barefoot or in Vibram Five-fingers for about 15 years so there's definitely more shoe here than I'm used to. It definitely makes the dreaded treadmill run more bearable.

Overall

Overall ok, only issue for not giving five stars is the design of the shoe near the small toes area. That lil area does not fit well on “MY” foot. My small toe on the end tries to fit in with the next toe. I love the idea and the design but I think that the company should send the customer a foot template before, and then make the shoe from the template for a better snug individualized fit. Because everybody’s foot is shaped and created differently. Just needs a lil tweaking.👌🏼

Individual toes shoe brand

I like the way that the shoes separate each toe, allowing for better grip and stability to the ground surface.
