Best Shoes Ever

This is my second pair. I battled plantar fasciitis for months. On the recommendation of my chiropractor, I bought the shoes. I wrote them all around Las Vegas with no pain. I was absolutely amazed at the difference!

That’s incredible to hear, Laura! We’re thrilled the shoes helped with your plantar fasciitis and kept you comfortable around Vegas.

Verified Buyer

Comfortable.

I like the toe spread my arches feel a lot less restricted. The fit isn’t perfect. My heel also gets a blister. The socks in size small are still too big.

Helpful shoes

I love my new shoes! I love the way they feel on my feet; it is like wearing nice gloves but on my feet. I think that they are definitely doing their job as my toes don’t look so close together and feel better when I walk. I recommend them for comfort and to help with bunions 😅

These are so easy in and off. So comfy for walking in the house and on a walk outside. Love it!

Fabulous! My feet thank you!

So far these are fantastic and my feet feel great in the all day long! I’ve been having issues for two years with mostly my left foot but some with my right too and those issues have completely changed my thoughts about footwear! I will definitely be buying more. Bought for everyday work which has me walking a lot!!

Great fit for all activities

I purchased this shoe and the ATR for working out, walking, hiking etc. this one is the most comfortable. Sized up a half size over casual shoes, same size I wear in standard workout shoes. The fabric on these is VERY comfortable. The ATR fits smaller (probably needed 8.5) and the fabric irritates my feet so I have to wear socks. I use the lightweight strand trainer for HIIT workouts as well as walking lots of miles- great shoe and no issues. I wear without socks unless I’m in colder climates for outdoor walks.

Thanks, Tonya! We’re happy to hear the Lightweight Trainer is hitting the mark for your workouts and walks. Your detailed sizing feedback is super helpful, we’re glad the fabric and fit are working well for you without socks. Appreciate the thoughtful review!

I do love the shoes

I love the shoes but for some reason even a whole size up feels a little tight. It fits mire tighter on my left foot than. Not sure why since both left and right are the same size shoe. Otherwise, I would have given a 5 star on these. The tightness is between the 4th toe and baby toe so maybe looking into whether adjustments need to be made would be good.

Thanks for your honest review, Lisa. We’re glad you love the shoes overall and appreciate the note about the fit. We’ll pass your sizing feedback along to the team.

Great for the feet.

My first Pelican . I own a lot of Xeros, Lems and and I was looking to replace a battered old school vibram 5 fingers. I am an 8 and usually order a 8.5 for more space. However I recommend that if you have longer slender toes, go a half size more up. Should I buy again, that is indeed what I will do. Not a fan of the laces so I will be looking at the slip on versions.

Ive had a similar pair before years ago and always love the concept. But it fizzled out. Glad someone brought it back to life.

Time for a change in footwear

I find it hard to find shoes that fit properly. When I have my foot properly sized it is a 4.5. I have a wide foot box that makes it even harder to find a shoe that fits. I learned about toe shoes around 2011, the price tag kept me from trying them. I purchased these to try and correct the position of my toes on the lateral side. I walk at a fast pace which with ill fitting shoes messes with my balance at a fast pace. I find it hard to keep my balance if an obstacle trips me up. I have found that I can maintain a consistent pace now without worrying about tripping and face planting.

Will buy another pair

Liked these and looking into another purchase. Although I have worn toe spacers and zero drop shoes for a while. These shoes do seem to continue to strengthen my feet and legs.

Wife loves the shoe

My wife was pleasantly surprised to like the fit and how the shoe feels when walking. It has helped her forefoot pain from a Morton's neuroma.

Pain free - feet and knees in my Peluvas!

Strand Lightweight Trainer is my favorite! My reg non Peluva shoe size is 7.5. I went 1/2 size up - a perfect fit for the Trainer. No more foot, knee pain w/ Peluvas plus they are extremely comfortable, my feet no longer tire so quickly or feel suffocated/ claustrophobic - Many thanks!! 2wks of intense walking in Japan, in the Trainers, a lifesaver! Since then, I got the Strand Sport Mesh and Zen Active Slip-on, both size 9.0 for the best fit as I have high volume feet. Both are indoor shoes, Sport Mesh for workouts. Now onto the Desert Boots and Strand ATR! Thank you Mark and Kyle for improving my quality of life! Another BIG thanks to your awesome Customer Service/ Support Team for being so responsive and accommodating!!
