My First pair

First please note, this style runs small. I had to return the first pair I ordered because they were too small. I usually wear a 10 and in these it said I wore an 11, well it was too small so I exchanged for a 12. Exchange process was super easy and quick! Once I received the “12” they fit good and I have enjoyed wearing them so far.

I like them!!

Comfortable to walk on and do weight lifting!! a little uncomfortable at first because I'm not used to wearing this type of shoes, but i can see results in the first wear . Right now I'm only able to wear them for 3 hours straight, a day. But I had results in the 2 first wears!

Light as a feather

The minute I get out of my working shoes, I slip into my Peluva’s for the rest of the day. My feet are finally getting some love!

The light weight trainer

They are hars to get used to. A bit difficult to put on. Still not sure how I feel about them.

New to barefoot shoes

I am usually 8.5 for traditional running shoes. I used the scanning tool and it put me in an 8.5 so I ordered 8.5. They were a tad short so I went with a size 9; which are perfect with socks. There is a learning curve for getting them on. Still working on it. The shoes are comfortable. I want to try the trail shoes as well.

Thanks for sharing your first barefoot experience, Melissa! Great call on sizing up, glad the 9s worked out. Hope you get to try the trail shoes next!

Surprisingly comfortable

I bought these 3 months ago. I don't wear them every day. Use them when I go on walks. I wear them without socks and they are super comfortable, like foot gloves. Feels like a toe massage with each step! Last month I used them for two days hiking at Arches and Zion national parks. About 7 miles each day. Felt great the whole time. I usually wear an 8 or 8.5. I bought a 9. They are too tight with the peluva toe socks, but I'm afraid if I buy a larger size my little toe won't reach. Still have trouble getting them on, but that is because my pinkly toe is so small and curled up that I have to reach in with my finger to push it into the slot. I have bunions and noticed on my last walk that my foot is so wide at that joint that it was riding on the edge of the sole. didn't get sore but was noticeable. In other words, the bottom of my feet are wider than the shoe sole. Wondering if the men's size would be wider at that point.... Giving a five star rating because overall I they are so comfortable and that the issues are with the shape of my feet, not the shoe itself.

Thanks so much, Judy! Love hearing how comfy they’ve been, even on long hikes. Appreciate the detailed feedback, it really helps!

Nice feeling

I got the size recommended to me and at first it felt tight. Definitely too tight with socks so I recommend a half size bigger. I wear my shoes with no socks and eventually it was a nice fit. Next time I’ll definitely order a bit bigger to wear socks!

Response from Peluva

Thanks for sharing your experience, Nathan. That’s a great sizing tip, going a half size up can definitely help if you plan to wear socks. Glad they’re working out barefoot for now!

Incredible customer service

The shoes are awesome! It was hard for me to get used to having the toes separated because I am a lifetime toe curler! The first style that I bought was not comfortable for my toe length, so I contacted customer service for an exchange, and they were so easy to work with, and answered all of my questions and assisted me with tips on how to choose another style to try. These are perfect and although I still feel awkward putting them on at first, within a few minutes I am comfortable and love walking in them!

We’re thrilled to hear that the new style worked out and that you’re loving your shoes, Lori! Getting used to toe separation can take a moment, especially for us lifetime toe curlers, but we’re so glad you stuck with it. Thanks for trusting us to help guide you through the exchange!

Light weight trainer

The shoes were what was pictured and described. My toes will get used to being separated. A good thing for senior toes that go different directions. Comfortable. I may go a size larger for next pair.

Hi Eloise, we love hearing this! It’s awesome that you’re easing into toe separation, it really helps long-term alignment and foot strength. Going up a size next time sounds like a great plan!

New You Show

I love the concept and research behind the benefits. I am still getting used to how they look on and they are very casual in appearance. One foot feels amazing and the other is a bit uncomfortable in the middle toes as my toes are not flat but bent up in the knuckles. Definitely need a thinker soled shoe for my 30+ min morning walks. Will certainly be ordering another pair.

Response from Peluva

Appreciate you sharing your experience, it’s great to hear one foot already feels amazing! A bit of adjustment is totally normal, especially with unique toe alignment. For longer walks, you might enjoy the Strand ATR or Apollo models with thicker soles.

Up to 6 miles a day!

I bought my first pair of peluvas in early June 2025. My feet were hurting so badly at that time I wasn’t able to walk very far but once I put on my peluva’s I was able to walk again without pain. Now I’m walking over 6 miles a day! In 3.5 months I’ve walked so far I put hole in the sole 😂 I’ve just ordered my replacements!

Fits like a glove

I will admit it took some time to get use to my toes being separated and aligning my toes in the shoe. When my toes finally slide in the shoe, they fit like a glove, comfortable and balanced and it helped slow down my neurology and I feel more balanced when I workout.

That’s so great to hear! It can definitely take a little time to adjust, but we’re thrilled they’re helping with balance and recovery during your workouts.

Perfect fit

I am usually a 7 and ordered the 7.5 in this model. It fits and feels great. My second toe is a little longer than my Big toe and the 1/2 size bigger worked perfect.

Free the toes

I wear these more than I thought I would. It's like going barefoot but with a grippy sole and some cushion. I haven't had them in the rain yet so I will see how that goes but so far so good. I'm usually a 9 or 9.5. More often a 9. I ordered the 9 first but my toes hit the end of the toes so I swapped for a 9.5 and these are comfy.

I love my shoes!

I have to say these are the best shoes I've ever worn. They are super comfortable and I'm eager for my next purchase. My sister saw my shoes and she even ordered a pair herself. These shoes are the "it" shoes everyone should have! Thanks so much!
