Shoes

Pretty good so far. Been walking 4 miles a day with them. Glad I exchanged for the one size larger the fit is much better.

great workout shoes

I just bought a pair of Peluva to use at the gym and find them great on days when I do Legs. The toes are free to spread and get a good grip. They have a better sole than Xero shoes and hope they will last. They are also great for Jumping and landing with a nice bounce back. I was concern with the fitting, but after a couple of times wearing them, my toes easily go into the spaces, even my right foot where I have a small bunion. They are comfortable with or without toe socks. So far a great purchase

The sizing scanner was off by easily a whole shoe size. I ordered the size it suggested and followed all the tips in the video, but I couldn't even straighten my toes out once I got them in the slots. I wore them for about an hour to give myself time to get used to them, they just hurt.

Well made, better quality than vibram.

This is my first pair of Paluvas. I have worn many pairs of vibrams and they always seem to tear out at the toe. These Mesh Strand Dport paluvas are or obviously a betyer made shoe. A much more robust shoe that feels reqlly good to wear. I bought them to.recover from Modifeid lapidus on both feet back to back. They feep amazing and they are keeping my toes in the right place while I heal. I cant say more about them. I am very please with my Purchase.

Amazing!

My feet have never felt better. I play a lot of tennis and my feet hurt a lot. These are great recovery shoes. My feet are getting stronger it feels like with each wear.

I used the same size as an orinal order and the new styles run small in the big toe.

GREAT

They are really good, personally I think they should be $80 to $90, but i might be stuck in the days of skeletoes that were $45. These have a bit more cushion than the Vivo barefoot. The bottom seem sturdy but the mesh between the toes seem very light for being a high wear and tear area. Great for long jumps and lunges, doesn't really cut into your skin. Comfy enough that I've forgotten to take my shoes off twice.

Most Comfortable Barefoot Shoe!

I can’t say enough good things about Peluva. They feel like wearing cushions on my bare feet. And the increased proprioception and balance when wearing them is awesome.

Really like the way they feel gripping the padding on the gym floor when I do lunges, farmers carries, and other weighted exercises where I'm moving and need to balance. Can tell a big difference between these and normal athletic shoes.

Very comfortable

Bought the new Strand Sport mesh. My regular shoe size is 10. I bought size 11. Initially bought the white ones, but thought I looked like the abominable snowman and switched to black, which are way better (from a color standpoint). It took a few wears to adjust initially, but now slip on pretty easily (I also have the socks that go with the shoes). It is definitely a much more comfortable walk. I initially started with Vibram 5 fingers, then moved to Altra (wide toe zero drop), and when those wore out, moved to Pleura. Am very happy with the purchase.

First Pair

I am blown away by the comfort, fit, and flexing I achieve in my Peluva's. So much so I immediately purchase 2 additional pair also (2) 3packs socks 1 each color, and still looking at a few more pair. Now the wife has just received her first pair and is adjusting to the toe spread.

Almost a Year In

I've had these shoes for almost a year. They are very comfortable I've had another brand of toe shoes in the past that were lower profile and you felt more connected to the ground in, but when that ground became gravel, the honeymoon was over :P They were good shoes, but I feel safer in these and love the variety. I have been jogging in them and I'm working back to 5 years ago when I was running 100 miles a month. I do suggest being careful when starting, but after the muscles you stop being so sore, it's very freeing and I feel like you get more feedback than from a standard running shoe with special soles and inserts. This goes for all the toe shoes in my experience: your pinky toe is likely going to be a jerk. Across my 4 pairs (different styles), my left pinky toe is still fussy, but if you know you've gone the shoe on right, the discomfort quickly works itself out as your toes settle into their correct position. I could talk forever on them but I have 3 more models to comment on!

Most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn

Normal shoes gave me knee pain and sore feet. But with my peluvas I don’t have that anymore. 10/10

Strength, from the bottom, up.

As a longtime strength coach, and a barefoot footwear lover, I have almost exclusively good things to say about the Peluva. Comfortable, stylish, good snug fit, devoid of fancy colors, and a subdued logo. One of my favorite things about these shoes is the ability to truly toe off when walking or doing loaded carries. Really helps engage the posterior musculature. My only knock, as a barefoot footwear snob, is that I would love them, personally, to have a thinner sole. That said, for the person who is transitioning from traditional footwear to barefoot footwear, these are a great mid-range step.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn!

I was skeptical at first, but man, once you get these shoes broke in, they don't even feel like you are wearing shoes anymore. People give me funny looks, but if they knew how comfortable these shoes were, they wouldn't. I wear them everywhere and will 100% be buying more of these, plus looking forward to trying the Peluva Golf Shoes. As a small business owner myself, I appreciate the hard work and effort that your team put into designing and creating these one of a kind shoes. Also, your customer support is the best I've seen from a business in a long time. My wife had to return her set 3 times to get the right fit and there was never any push back from your team. Love it!!

Comfort & Mobility - CHECK!

I started wearing the Strand ATRs and loved them, so I decided to try the Strand Sport Mesh and am very happy with this version as well. Very comfortable and my feet are happier as a result of wearing Pueluva! I would note that the sizing varies a little bit from normal shoes and between shoe types. For example, for the Strand ATR, which I've bought two pairs of, I wear a size 10; however, for the Strand Mesh, I wear a size 10.5. They fit more like a glove than your typical shoe, so be ready for an adjustment. Love these shoes, though!!

Thanks, Peluva. I had purchased the wrong size and was able to return them and get the correct ones. I love this black pair and will be purchasing others soon.

Much more support.

I had my other polluba shoes for over a year, and I definitely wore those in. Once I got these new models, I could feel the firmness, and obviously I just need, though, or i'm in more to break them into the mold of my feet. For the most part they're very comfortable. And I noticed that my feet have gotten wider since wearing these type of shoes now. And I don't have pain like I used like a year a half ago. We'll definitely keep buying the issues from here on out.. I would recommend these shoes to anybody that needs to change their shoe lineup to help their feet become healthy again.

Cant tell quite yet whether I like these or not. My pinky toe doesnt feel right and they might be a tidge too small but Im willing to give them a chance. I wear a size 10 and ordered a 10.5. Im thinking I should have ordered a size 11, we’ll see.

So comfy

When I first put these on, they seemed a little stiff, but within 2 days they got really flexible and soft. I already wear a lot of minimal barefoot shoes, and these are very nice for walking on pavement. I would love if they also had shoes with no cushion. Because I definitely prefer the other shoes for walking on grass and ground.
