I had my doubts, but...

First off let me congratulate the customer service at Peluva. I used the digital app to determine size and it was a bit tight. Reached out to customer service and they provided a shipping label to send the old size in and I got the new 1 size up replacement in about 4 days. Secondly, due to the unconventional nature of the shoe I had my doubts regarding comfort and ease of wear. Those doubts have been smashed this is perhaps the most comfortable shoe I own and within two days I'm able to slide my feet in without untying the shoe. As a bonus the synthetic material on the upper is very breathable and super easy to clean with a damp towel. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.

Grandson loves them

Grandson is 14. High school freshman and he requested these for school and everyday wear. He swears they are comfortable and knows Id teturn them in a heartbeat if not I emphasize to him often how important it is to take cate of your feet (and teeth).

surprisingly comfortable, ...

... with decent middle arch support. The sole feels likes there is no drop from the heel to the toe, but I have not measured it. Probably as comfortable as my Altra Lone Peak shoes and more affordable.

Wicked Comfort

At age 68 and a long time wearer of minimalist toe shoes I find these the most comfortable I've ever worn. I train in them every day and unlike the other brands I've worn, these are stylish enough to wear in the office.

Amazing shoes

Like an ultra with toe spreaders love them. Please send me a discount code so I can order another pair for family. I feel arts of Ly calf working that I’ve never felt before.

These are great.

I bought these just cause I don't like wearing shoes and wanted something closer to the barefoot feel. These are surprisingly easy to slip on. They take a little getting used to but are comfortable if you bought the right size. Just remember to buy toe socks as well. I was not thinking about that when I got them and had to order some socks on Amazon after they arrived.

Love them!

Exactly what I wanted and have been looking for! As soon as I get accustomed to them, they will become my main running shoe

Great quality

Fit great, takes a bit to get used to. However, great shoe once I was used to it.

BEST EVER

I've only worn Converse Allstars for the last 30 years. Now I'm only wearing Peluva Strands since last week. I cannot believe how much I love these shoes! At first I thought it was a little goofy having shoes on that look like feet but now its the most natural thing in the world. Thank you so much for making this incredible footwear. I got them to help with the pain in my Big Toe and ankle and it is TRUE that these shoes relieve the pain from having cramped toes from years of traditional shoes. I just bought another pair so I can have one pair for working in and getting a bit dirty and another that stay clean.

I like them

Only worn them for 3 days but so far I am very happy, and as long as they last for a reasonable amount of time I will continue to recommend them. P.S. I have Ascended past wearing socks with sandals now I can wear shoes with sandals

Everything I was hoping for.

I love my new 5 toe Peluva’s! My only personal need would be for a little more width room for my big toes. Thanks, Mark!

As promised and improved shoe lace length

The grey ones are my second pair. I had bought a pair of the loafers to complement my first blue Strands, but the fabric scraped my heels. Peliva’s customer service (Joy E.) promptly guided me through the refund process (which I had kept the shipping box as FedEx required you to use one that cost $7), and I ordered these grey puppies. They fit and feel the same, with slightly shorter laces making the tying easier. Since I wear this Peluvas almost exclusively i wanted to alternate days as it gives them time to dry out and will help them last longer—at least that’s the plan. I still own 3 pair of old Vibrams, as I’d been a Vibram wearer for over 10 years, but doubt I’d ever buy another of theirs, simply because the Peluvas are way more comfortable. Some will say the extra cushioning takes away from the barefoot feel, but I still get that feel and with Peluvas can walk over rocks, etc, pain free. The Vibrams have become my in-the-ocean shoes. Go Peluva!

Fantastic!

I love them I wear them with the socks and they were true to size with the Nike size that I wear. I also really enjoy the Miami. The socks, snug them up just perfectly. I’ll be ordering different and more colors soon.

After my first 5k run

Went out on my first 5k run today with my new set of Peluvas running shoes, amazing, perfect fit, comfortable and my knees did not hurt after the run for the first time in years. Thinking about getting me a second pair.

Sheen

I like how blue has less sheen than black. Black looks tacky, wish it were more matte

Wow

Simply put, these are the most comfortable shoes in the world. I don’t even want to take them off. Nothing compares to these shoes. I want to throw all my other shoes in the garbage.

5 Stars

I’ve tried and owned a couple pairs or toe shoes. I’ve also had Vivo barefoot shoes and all of the major shoe brands. These are 100 percent the most comfortable shoes I’ve owned. The feel like house shoes. I should throw all my other footwear away!

Perfect combination

It gives me the mobility of the barefoot experience with the shock absorption against hard pavement. It was just what I was looking for.
