Good shoes, but still slightly stiff

I really like these shoes. I feel it's helped my pinky toe really reacclimate to a more balanced stance. My only criticism is that even if those social media influencer promoting the shoe display the overall flexibility, the sole is still a bit stiff despite illustrations of showing otherwise. I can't flex my toes inward. It is a tadbit water resistant, which I did not expect. I still think it's a good shoes

Comfortable though bulky for a minimalist

This shoe is very comfortable. It is extremely cushy for a minimalist shoe, though it feels a little bulky and is a little wide for my foot. I have ran either barefoot or in Vibram Five-fingers for about 15 years so there's definitely more shoe here than I'm used to. It definitely makes the dreaded treadmill run more bearable.

Good, quality shoes

I received these shoes and were so excited to try them and luckily they didn't disappoint. These shoes are so comfortable and lightweight ( just like the description). They are made out of a wonderful material and can fold in half due to high flexibility levels. However they also provide support and protect your feet. I love these shoes. Though they look a little funky (as I am constantly told by friends and family) and are a little wide for my feet, I do really enjoy wearing them and having lots of mobility with my toes.

I haven’t full worn it yet it takes about 10mins for me to fully put it on! My toes are stubborn and wouldn’t go in the slots for toes. I had fun putting the socks on one by One putting the toes in. I have nerve damage and sometimes pain in my feet lower extremities and my toes are sensitive. I will only wear this when I don’t have flare ups. So far I haven’t worn it or walked with this shoes yet. I will try on today maybe. It’s difficult for me to put the toes in its stubborn. Nothing wrong with the shoes it is my feet lol. I want to wear it so bad. My brother owns three pairs of these shoes and he’s way athletic than me. We’re opposites that’s why I took this advice to get these shoes so my feet will be better hopefully.

So comfy!

These are great! I love how they feel like nothing on my feet. I’ve worn them a handful of times and walked 1 mile today. After I got back home, the right shoe had been digging into the back of my ankle. I’m so sad!! I really wanted these to be my new walking shoes but I think I’ll have to use them exclusively for weight training. Bummer! It’s just the right side, the left feels fine.

Easy to put on

It's the easiest toe shoe to get on that I have tried. It also seems there is a good amount of cushioning for pavement walking as well as Rocky trails. I have yet to test it fully on the trails near my house since the weather is so wet now. They do seem a bit to wide for the back of my foot but I do have a narrow heel.

Best shoes!

These are by far the best shoe purchase I have made in my entire life! So comfortable for my feet. No other shoes have been this nice on my feet. I can’t do bikes, brooks, adidas, pumas, of k Swiss. The flatter the shoe the less sole, the better my feet feel. I just did a 4 mile walk in them and the only problem I really had living in Ohio in the fall is piles a leaves on sidewalks were a little slippery, like there’s very little tread on them. That seriously is the only complaint from me. My feet hasn’t hurt one night after wearing these all day long!

great shoe, but....

love the concept, however, the toes in the women's shoe are seemingly made for a man, and the shoe is WAY too wide for my foot. A narrow version would be excellent !!!

Wanted to love/keep them — love the idea

I love the idea of these shoes — I've been a barefoot convert for five years, and wearing Vibrams for the past few. Unfortunately, the footbed felt too stiff — I could tell right out of the box before I even tried them on that I wouldn't get the flexibility I needed there — and lacked the cushioning/arch support I hoped for (I'm coming from Altra, which is what I walk in). The sneakers are otherwise aesthetically pleasing, and I could see someone wearing them with gym gear or casual clothes alike. Excellent customer service, too. If Peluva comes out with a more responsive sole, I'll definitely be back.

Comfortable shoe

This shoe is very comfortable. I did have to size up one full size from the walking shoes I had been wearing. If you have slightly wonky toes it may take you a few seconds to get your toes in the right slots. These shoes do replace the use of correct toe spacers for bunions and are more comfortable for me than those. The fabric is soft and there's no seams to bother my bunions either. I like the feeling of connecting to the ground instead of huge amounts of cushioning. Currently I'm wearing them indoors so my feet can get used to the toe separation. So far so good and I might rate these a 5 out 5 in future when I've worn them longer.

Still getting used to...

Still getting used to them, getting the toes in the right slot is interesting. They feel good when I walk. I love going barefoot so this seems like a no brainer.
