Great!
They are good quality, very light and comfortable, im happy with my purchase.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerComfortable, great color
It’s great! I’d buy Heather gray again and hope you guys never get rid of that color. Once my shoe is worn out in maybe a year, I plan to get another one!
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerSo far so good
The toes didn't line up perfectly with mine, but they seemed to stretch and settle in after wearing. Feels a bit weird at first but then becomes very comfortable.

This is my third pair of the Strand, and it's by far the best barefoot shoe there is. I also have the Naples, but the Strand is my favorite. Walking in them becomes addictive, and exercising in them is invigorating. It's like a switch is turned on, and it synergizes the mind-body connection.

Sleek and well fitting
These trainers are comfortable and well fitting. There is enough space to slide my feet in quickly which is nice, and one you tie the laces, it snugs up to my feet really well. These have a very clean look compared to other toe shoes making them a great shoe to wear into the office!
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerAmazing
Was very skeptical in the beginning being a sneaker head but once I started to wear them I don't wear anything else. Amazing for my feet and entire body alignment.

Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerVery Comfortable!
Very comfortable. To wide for my narrow foot, but able to compensate with lacing. Need to offer narrower widths or larger women sizes. Shoe laces way too long!
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerAmazing trainers
I have been using the Strand for 10 days and have used them everyday for working out. Once I got the hang of putting them on it has been great.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerAwesome!
Once I was able to get my toes into the proper slot they have been awesome!!

Awsome shoes love it
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerInnovative & exciting yet questions remain
As someone constantly working to improve my foot health and repair healthy function after too many years of athletics stuck in narrow, poorly shapes shoes, I'm so delighted that Peluva has arrived on the scene. I caught wind of the intiative when Mark was interviewed on a podcast over a year ago. At the time I was about to try Vibram FiveFingers because I was growing certain that toe spacers were needed to re-align my toes (which suffer from moderate hammer and curling) and yet all the toe spacers I tried either would hurt, fall out, or poorly fit. Whether sleeping with toe spacers or trying to fit them in shoes, they just are never going to be as effective as shoes like peluvas for people that are serious about foot recovery. This makes sense because its movement that heals and mobilizes, slowly and over time. Wearing toe spacers for most of your walking hours is just not practical. So, now to Peluvas: for a first pass at this problem they are exceptional. Toes are flexible enough. Once you learn how to get them on, they are easier to get on that toe socks (I really struggle to have patience with toe socks). Right off my 3rd and 4th metatarsals on my foot with the worse hammer toes started aching. To me this was an awesome sign that the peluvas hold a promise of healing. Pain as a signal of positive change! Here are the things I'm less excited about: - My feet get cold in them, especially toes. This is probably because I live in a house with cold wood floors, its winter in Washington State, and the corrective positions of my toes in the peluvas are aggressive enough (what I want) that the arterial flow is slightly comprised (and will be for some time until my feet re-align). So, this is probably the right outcome, but something folks should be aware of that want to wear these in northern climates in the winter (even inside) and don't have great circulation. What currently works wildly better for me is the Wildling Chestnut with an Oboz O-fit insole, since they are warm and cushioned. I figure once the spring warmth comes I'll be able to wear the peluvas more. - The upper material is fine, seems soft and pliable enough for the job. But it does not feel very high quality, so I worry it will not hold up well with wear over time. Also, the seams around the toes do not lay as flat as I'd hope. I don't feel, in my toes, this being a problem, just wanted to share this from an aesthetic point of view. - Toe length: everyone's toes are different lengths, so peluva as a product has a very hard, borderline impossible, problem of coming up with toe lengths that work for most people. For me it's not quite good enough: my big toe is snatched into the front while all my little toes are barely able to stay in the toes of the shoe when I take a step that bends my toes. To a certain extent this is because my little toes are hammered and my arches are not as strong as they could be. So the discomfort and acwardness of this I hope will help give a neurological stimulus to engage my arch (to take pressure off my big toe against the front of the shoe) and splay my toes (to help them stay in the toes of the shoe). But that dreamy future comes true I find myself wishing that peluva could somehow offer a shoe a little closer to my foot shape in order for me to be a little closer, out of the gates, to something that works. When I've used them for light training I've been able to keep my little toes inserted. But I'd really like to try running in them, and that is when I think the little toes would likely retract and then get mis-aligned in the shoe (effectively jamming them until I could stop and adjust to re-insert the toe).
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerLove them
They are my favorite shoes!
Wonderful
Have been a marathoner and spartan racer for over a decade. Went to Vibram five fingers and embraced barefoot running back when Born To Run came out. Went back to Saucony for a bit and then to the zero drop Altras. Love the Altra tremendously , but these are by far my new favorite. Kind of a blend of five finger and Altra. Like Goldilocks and the bears…just right!
my 14 yr old loves them
My slightly feral 14 yr old son loves them. We shall see if they hold up well to the abuse he will inevitably put them through before giving a solid review. We live on a farm, and my son is VERY active outdoors. If the shoes make it 6 months I'll be impressed. He put them on as soon as he unwrapped them Christmas morning and has worn them every time he goes out side since, which is weird for him, he usually runs around barefoot unless its icy out, or make him put shoes one.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerWhen They Tell You to Order a Half Size Above Do It
Love the shoes, but I definitely screwed up and got my “correct size” instead of the half size above. Did that with another company and it was too big, so I figured “why bother, here?” Definitely bother here.! Only complaint I have is that you make the smaller toes too big. My first toe hits the tip of the rubber fronts while the rest have at least as much space left over as they do toe filling the slot. I fear that ordering the half extra size would make for even more space than toe. So…just a suggestion…have your manufacturers make the shoe to properly fit the big toe, at the correct size, rather than tell us to order the larger shoe…which if I postulate correctly could also be a problem. Or are you “saying” that extra half size is all in the first toe???? Anyway. Yeah. Next pair, I’ll be trying it to see, but I’m extremely apprehensive.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerAwesome quality
Very comfortable and flexible shoe. I wish they were offered in Canada. Duty fees are very high. :(

Love them purchasing another pair
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerSuper Happy
Love them. I've been wearing barefoot/minimalist shoes for 5-6 years now. This is my first pair of Peluvas and wow, It's hard to describe how comfortable they are. Walking, jogging, just movement in general feels so much easier and natural in these, even compared to my other barefoot shoes. Couldn't be happier.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerThe BEST shoe ever.
They are so light and comfortable, it’s hard to believe I’ve ever worn anything else. Thanks for making these; they’re life changing. Looking forward to another pair.
Men's Strand Lightweight TrainerPerfect running/walking shoes
I had one of the smoothest runs of my life with these shoes! Getting 1/2 size bigger than normal was a great call!
