Absolutely...
Just got my Strand ATRs today. I did the foot scan for fit, which pegged me at a seven (accurate), but I also took the advice on the website and ordered a half-size up. Even so, when I took them out of the box, I just knew I’d have to exchange them for an eight. Regardless—being the bullheaded Taurus I am—I decided to cram my foot in one to at least get a feel for them.
After struggling to get the back over my heel for a good 10 minutes, I finally got the right shoe on... and I was like, "Damn!" It actually JUST fit... with NO room for error. Now, should I exchange them for an eight? No. Because that "just fit" translates to a "perfect fit!" I wore them for the rest of the day (about six hours, no socks) at work with zero issues. Gotta say, I am very pleasantly surprised. Now I just need some socks and a pair for the yard.
Love hearing this—so glad the fit ended up feeling perfect and comfortable!

Great shoe!
These are so comfortable! This is my first time wearing toe shoes and I was surprised how natural they feel! I will be buying more. (Make some with vegan leather please!!)
So glad they feel comfortable and natural for your first pair of toe shoes—we appreciate the vegan leather suggestion too!

Love this shoe!
Most comfortable walking shoe ever. Takes a couple of tries to get the toes into the right position initially, but now they slide right in. I absolutely love them. Great job guys!
Love hearing this! We’re so glad they’re comfortable and getting easier to put on.

My feet have never been this happy
I'm so pleased that Peluva helped me find the right size shoe. This is the first time in my life that I didn't want to take off my shoes at the end of the day.
I'm a believer!
Love hearing this! We’re so glad you found the right size and feel this happy in them.

Love the feel of my Peluva women’s Stran ATR barefoot shoes! They fit and feel great!
Definitely order 1/2 to 1 full size up as they do fit a little small.
After day one my calves were sore from using new muscles more consistently. I also felt the muscles in my feet working but no foot pain! These are so comfortable!
I was so excited to receive these & absolutely love them right out of the box. I was a little unsure on sizing & ultimately just went a half size up. I did use the size tool the site offers,but decided to not go by that because the first time it upped me an entire 1 1/2 sizes. Then I did it again & it placed me at my actual shoe size 6. I knew that wasn't a safe bet since they say the shoes run small & go at least a 1/2 size up to start especially if wearing socks. So I went with the 6.5 & couldn't be happier with the fit with my toe socks on. I also tried them without socks & that felt great too. Foot health has become a huge focus for me as I've developed a bunion. I've been incorporating any & everything I can to try to make a difference & hopefully remedy the situation. I am very hopeful my Peluvas help take me to the next level. These shoes are so cute too! The bottoms & everything are adorable. I can't wait to see my progress over time with wearing them.
We love hearing this! We’re glad the 6.5 fit worked perfectly and hope they support your foot health journey.

I’ve never had shoes that changed my life before
So relieved that these exist! They’ve already began correcting my toe placement as well as contributing to my knee comfort and my energy levels. I’m on my feet a lot for work and I can’t say enough good things about these amazing (so much more than) shoes
We’re so happy they’ve made such a difference for your comfort, toe placement, and long workdays.

Love these shoes
Bought 1 pair of shoes and wore them over a year and they were super comfortable until I had to work 8 - 12 hours on my feet. I learned my shoes were too small for my big toes and caused discomfort when standing that long. I got these in a bigger size and massive improvement. I still wear my old pair outside of work! I love Peluva because they are the most comfortable shoes even when I wore the wrong size
That’s awesome to hear! We’re glad they’re comfy, durable, and exactly what you were looking for.

Comfortable
Bought these to upgrade my barefoot shoes for another season of obstacle course racing. I haven't participated in any races just yet. The bit of running I've done on the treadmill and on the road, I have noticed a difference between my Peluvas and my other barefoot shoes I used last race season. The tread seems really nice on these and my feet feel more supported than my previous shoes. Just the right amount of support. Hopefully I remember to comeback and update this review if possible after my first race.
So glad they’re feeling supportive and comfortable so far! Hope they perform great for your obstacle course races.

My summer hiking shoes
No socks. Little to no sweat. Great ventilation. I ordered my pair half size up per Peluva’s suggestion. I would order whole size up if I wanted to wear socks. My toes and feet feel great. I take a B vitamin regimen and wearing this pair has greatly improved nerve pain in my toes.
That’s awesome to hear! So glad they’ve been such a great fit for hiking and comfort.

FUNctional
Fun to wear and function great too! This particular pair I would prefer my actual size instead of half a size bigger but they still fit great and feel good walking.
I heard about Peluva from the PlantStrong podcast and could not wait to order. I have been wearing toe socks for over 10 years and minimalist shoes with a generous toe box but Peluva’s are a game changer. It’s like walking barefoot without getting your feet all beat up. I love how the more you wear them, the individual toe spaces mold to your toes, making them easy to just slide into. The Strand ATR was the perfect choice for me since I work on my feet all day. I had a size question after using the measuring tool and contacted customer service. Within minutes I had a reply and the size the representative suggested is perfect!
As a massage therapist for the past 32 years, I see the problems regular shoes cause. And I’m convinced the popular overly cushioned shoes are setting people up for a whole lot of hurt because their lower leg and foot muscles are going to just get weaker and weaker. We need to feel the ground we walk on, not feel marshmallows!
The Strand ATR was my first purchase, but it will definitely not be my last. I’m looking forward to trying other styles.
That’s awesome to hear! So glad they’ve been such a game changer for you.

These shoes have improved my quality of life.
This is my second pair. I used to have terrible pain in my feet which invented my ability to walk and exercise. These shoes have realigned my bones and my muscle muscles to where they are supposed to be now I can walk 10 miles and dance all night.
Wow, love hearing this! So glad they’ve made such a difference for you.

The most comfortable and best support shoe
I suffered from chronic feet and knee pain from 8 surgeries on my left knee, 6 surgeries on my left knee, multiple surgeries on both feet due to cancer. I had stage 4 non- Hodgkins Lymphoma that was also in the blood and bones. I have had 25 surgeries total which caused imbalances in my body. Basically I am a crooked house. The chemotherapy and radiation also caused lots of nerve damage. I have always been active and love the outdoors. I have tried many different kinds of shoes but still suffer lots of pain. The Pluva shoes are amazing! I noticed instant pain relief the first day I wore them. I am so thankful for your company.
So glad the exchange was easy and convenient, Tiffany.

My feet are waking up
My Feet Are Waking Up!
"At first it was a challenge to get my toes into the slots, but I watched the video on the product page and it was very helpful. Once each toe was secure in their individual compartments, the sensation was amazing. I took off walking feeling like I was barefoot, and noticed a more poised and comfortable posture and stride. I could feel my feet coming back to life and sensing the small muscles and joints interacting with the ground. They are so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing shoes!"
This is beautiful to hear. So glad your feet are waking up and feeling that natural movement again.
