Fairly good

Toes are firm and flexible, overall not bad. Sizing is difficult and still not right, but im tired of exchanging them so im living with the size i have now.

comfortable

very comfortable from the very beginning. I wish they were a little more water resistant as walking in moist grass quickly seeped moisture into my toes. I got the same size as I normally wear and the toes feel a little snug, but not enough to return. I don't know if the next size would feel too loose. But they are great otherwise.

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the feedback, Willem! We're glad the Strand ATR felt comfortable right away. They are designed to be water-resistant, but not fully waterproof, so moisture from wet grass can sometimes sneak in. If you ever decide to try a half size up for a roomier toe fit, feel free to reach out to support@peluva.com and we’d be happy to assist!

Comfortable

Fit is good I ordered a half size bigger than I normally do not sure if that was the right choice because except for my big toe my other4 have to much room so I guess time will tell.

Thanks for sharing, Noah! Sizing can take a little trial and error, but your toes will likely adjust with more wear. If the fit doesn’t feel right over time, feel free to reach out to support@peluva.com, we’re happy to help with an exchange.

Feel Great! 👍

I love these shoes! I bought a pair of lightweight trainers from Peluva and decided I wanted to get some outdoor shoes that were more suited for dirt and such and these shoes are great for that! The only problems I had were that I’m pretty active and when I took these on pavement for some off field soccer the tread quickly deteriorated so learn from my mistakes and keep you’re active work in these of the concrete. 😅 These shoes do fit a little bit looser around some of the toes than the lightweight trainers but after a few days I got used to them and they feel great! 👍 Thanks Peluva!!

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the thoughtful review, Josiah! We're glad you're loving the Strand ATR and how they perform outdoors. They’re definitely best suited for trails and uneven terrain rather than heavy use on pavement, so your insight is super helpful. We appreciate your support and hope you continue enjoying your Peluvas!

Strand ATR

This is my first pair of toe shoes like this. At first it was a bit awkward to put them on and wear around. After about 2 weeks of breaking them in at the gym they have become my favorite shoes ever. After over a month of wearing them it's difficult to go back to normal shoes. I mostly wear them to the gym and daily activities. It's helped my balance and over all stability. My leg days at the gym are much more comfortable now. I'm also able to push more weight since my balance and foot stance has improved. I was basically walking on my pinky toes in regular shoes. Now that my toes can spread out properly they don't want to squeeze into regular shoes. I was surprised that my toes maintain their new found spacing even when barefoot! I'm very happy with my purchase. I barely even feel my peluvas when wearing them. It's very much like walking barefoot. I've never in my life been excited to wear shoes before. I've owned some cool shoes, but never any I was excited to actually put on and walk in lol. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the spot between the toes where the top of the shoe meets the sole isn't very well attached. There are small gaps exposing the threading that allow grass and sticks to poke through. I thought it might just be my pair b I t we checked my brothers and his had the same gaps. Not a huge deal as I will avoid going off pavement/trail with them now that I know. It's just uncomfortable to walk off trail or through grass.

First time and feels great

Decided to explore barefoot options on a bit of a whim. Toe separators helped more than I thought and decided to go ahead and get my first pair. These feel… I dunno… “Right”? I was already passively barefoot besides work or the rare occasion I went out but these help to complete the “feels right” puzzle. Issues with my back have steadily began to get better as well as issues with my legs I didn't even realize I had are fixing or realigning themselves better. Very comfy albeit an adjustment; which is to be expected of course. I look forward to continuing this lifestyle improvement. I actually am eager, now, to take walks ^_^

Perfect shoe except for the heel collar and quality control issues

I ordered the Strand ATR in a men’s size because the teal shoe is beautiful but oddly unavailable in women’s sizes. If your second toe is your longest, order a full size larger than what the foot scanning app measures. The app apparently measures for a foot where the big toe is longest. The Strand ATR is very comfortable and is overall a beautiful shoe. The issue is with the quality control. The first one I ordered had defects with the stitching of several toes where there was black fabric between the toes instead of teal, and one toe had a large dimple in the top. When I returned it for a larger size, the replacement shoe had defects in both heel collars. Both heel collars were folded over and bent forward on the same side, causing it to uncomfortably dig into my ankles and leave a red mark after a few minutes of wear inside the house. After striking out twice with defects in the Strand ATR, I decided not to return it for a third try but to instead return it for a refund. However, I loved this shoe so much despite the quality control issues that I plan to try again next year when they are on sale again. Hopefully this fairly young brand will work out the quality control issues and my third pair of the Strand ATR won’t have any defects. I did keep my Zen Suede Slip-On, which is my favorite shoe I own. Due to the material and design, there is no heel collar issue and it is amazingly comfortable.

Haven't got them out on the trails, yet. Love wearing them on weekends.

4 Stars

I really like the shoes so far. My feet relax when I open up my toes. I have had a problem with my small toe slipping out of its slot. I have a hard time getting them on. My toes are pretty bad though. I wonder if a size smaller would have been better. I want to use them to work out and see if my toe slips out.

Great Shoe

Really liking the Strand ATR shoe so far! Just the right amount of comfort and support. Would have given a 5 star but one issue I’m seeing is the stitching in the toe slots is rubbing my toe socks really bad which looks to probably wear the socks out faster! Added a photo of socks that are new and just worn once and can see the fraying from the stitches rubbing. So other than that seems to be a great shoe so far!

These are nice

While the shoes didn't meet all my expectations, this company is excellent. The shoes are great looking and made of quality materials. I just found the fit a little off for my foot. Otherwise, I highly recommend this company and shoe.
