Best way to walk!

Fantastic from the first step. I’ve had other barefoot brands I really like, but they don’t compare to Peluva. My feet are as stable as they can be. Walking along over all types of terrain. You can feel everything under your foot giving you immediate feedback to your body. Conventional shoes are way too cushioned. Which in the past has caused me to twist an ankle when I’ve stepped on something that ends up making my foot roll over . Causing an injury. Not with Peluvas, I feel and absorb whatever I step on. If you’re on the fence about buying a pair, just go for it. You will not be disappointed.

Very Happy

These are taking the place of my vibram Ffs. The quality of vibram has fallen off really badly the last 5 years. The quality of the ATRs is great and they remind me of the vibrams I had in the early 2010s. Buying a second pair shortly. Only thing to note. You need to wear socks with these because the internal seams are a bit pronounced.

Ahhhhmazing shoes!!!

The first pair I ordered was the wrong size because I was still learning the sizing guide on the website. The first pair arrived quickly within a week of ordering. When realizing that I had ordered the wrong size, I contacted customer support and my issue was handled so professionally, and very promptly. The service associate was well informed and was of excellent service. I was able to get the right size and only had to wait a week for the new pair to arrive. Definitely recommend and will definitely be ordering again

Golf shoe review

So far I like them However I played with my recent purchase of golf shoes and they had my feet and docks soaked in 20 seconds We played several hours after rain had come through. Not sure how you guys could solve this..

I normally wear a size 11 wide or 11 5. Got the Men's Strand ATR at size 12 and they are incredible. Took away discomfort and soreness in my entire lower legs. I use them for outdoor physical work and for long hikes. Extremely comfortable. Highly recommend!

Awesome hiking shoe

I have the light mesh peluva for men. they are for the gym and daily wear. Not aggressive enough tread. So I purchased the Strand ATR. They are the most comfortable shoe, with tread and are a bit more rigid than the mesh. Great for hiking trails. My wife just bought a pair and it is also her favorite and most comfortable shoe.

These issues have seriously helped me the first week was a little rough getting used to them, but now that I have worn them for seven days, they are a total game change

Fixing my broken feet

For years, my toes have been bent wrong. I’ve been walking wrong. It’s called sciatic pain and nerve pain. These shoes were hard to put on for the first five minutes not because there was anything wrong with the shoes, but because there was everything wrong with my feet. I’m five days in right now and I have more comfort on my walk-in stride and step that I’ve had in years. I am 6 foot8 size 14 shoe, 280 pounds. These work for big men too. I can’t wait to take these to Nepal later this year.

Strand shoes

Once you get over the basic look, they are comfortable beyond belief. I do like walking in them and have walked up to 5 miles without a problem.

Great buy

They were comfortable from day one. I love that I felt stable when walking after coming off a major knee surgery. I wish I could run because I know the experience would be so enjoyable. Happy purchaser here. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love em

So far, I really like these shoes. I’ve worn Vibram toes shoes for a couple years but they weren’t sturdy enough for Crossfit workouts so I tried these ones because they had more stability and they are really comfortable. I normally wear a size 13 but I got a 12 1/2 because with toe shoes you wanna go more to the exact measurement and I don’t really need to worry about the width too much which was the right call.

Like a Glove

The first couple wearings were a bit awkward, especially because I was hypersensitive to all the toe sensations. Then, as I was able to focus back on non-foot related matters, all the sensations melted away. I started jogging a bit during my walks because I think they helped me find a natural stride. I can even meditate in the shoes and not be aware they are on. On top of that, I think mine are on the smaller side! I'll probably get a pair of the desert boots and a loafer or slip-on when the fates allow. Cheers, y'all!

Extremely happy with this footwear

Wearing Peluva footwear has strengthened my feet while alleviating foot pain / plantar fasciitis pain. Because of my foot pain and plantar fasciitis I kept trying various "thicker cushion" shoes, but I was not making much progress with the rehab. After 7 months of this pain, I eventually just decided to go the opposite direction of typical mainstream advice. I ordered a pair of Peluvas and felt significant relief and progress within days of wearing them. After wearing Peluvas for approximately 2 weeks, the foot pain and plantar fasciitis continued to improve and is nearly gone. I have since ordered 2 more pairs of Peluvas. I am extremely happy with my purchases and pleasantly surprised by the quality of Peluva. I have also noticed my feet and calf muscles feel stronger and more stable. I am 50+ years old male that is sold on the benefits of Peluva footwear.

Really like these shoes

I've been a vibram guy for 10+ years and I've bought 6 pairs. These are way more durable though and I love the extra cushion on the bottom for some plush when you're running on concrete. I recommend ordering the same shoe size as you normally do, I wear 13 and they fit perfectly with or without socks (you're gonna want the socks tho)
