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.
So great to hear you’re loving them and on your third pair, no less! That easy break-in and comfy fabric make all the difference. Thanks for being part of the Peluva community!

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!
This is amazing to hear, Vitani! We’re so glad you’re loving your Strand Lightweight Trainers and that your sister joined the Peluva family too! “It” shoes indeed 💪👣

My First try on was very difficult getting toes in correct spot , 2nd 3rd try was good .
So glad to hear you’re loving them, Barbara! It definitely gets easier after the first try, thanks for sticking with it! ❤️

Comfort
Hi,
I was skeptical to order this at first but once I received the pair, it was super comfy to train at the gym. I did order size 9 and my size originally 8. I was super impressed by this shoe comfort level.
That’s awesome, Sudha! So glad you sized up and found the perfect fit. Happy lifting! 💪

First Time for Barefoot Shoes
Highly recommend! Get yourself a pair ASAP if you want to experience some incredible changes to your foot health and overall posture!:)
Peluva has already been a life changer. Top tier customer service and an excellent product! I ordered a men's pair originally and the best customer service rep, Kyla, helped me exchange them for a women's pair quickly and easily along with answering all my questions. Within 2 days of wearing my Peluvas, I started feeling my pinky toes individually and was able to move them a little on my own. My toes are starting to straighten out for the first time in 15 years, and putting on normal tennis shoes or work shoes already feels so cramped and claustrophobic leaving my feet hurting. The Peluvas are just incredible and make you aware of each toe's placement and the amount of room you truly want in your shoes.
It's been about a month of wearing the Peluvas almost daily and I am in love with them and their impact on my feet, knees, and hips. They definitely have an adjustment period, getting used to feeling all your toes is a strange feeling at first lol.
Some feedback for the design team: the flaps that go in-between each toe is a little short so I have to push my toes up further into the toe slots for them to truly be separated properly, but by doing that my big toe pushes against and rubs the seam at the front of the toes. Not uncomfortable but noticeable. I'd recommend toe slots just a little longer or maybe a longer divider flap in-between each toe. But I'm aware everyone's feet are different and mine might be the weird case:)
Thank you everyone at Peluva for truly changing my feet and my life:) I have been telling everyone I know about how wonderful they are and will absolutely be a repeat customer! You guys are awesome!
Wow, Audreanna, thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear how Peluvas are already helping improve your toe mobility, posture, and overall comfort. We’ll share your design feedback with our team, it’s super valuable. We’re lucky to have you in the Peluva family.

Not the most attractive, but man I love these shoes!
I hate wearing shoes. I REALLY hate wearing any type sneaker/tennis shoes/trainers. But I am beyond impressed with these shoes. I had a tiny adjustment period(maybe an hour). But after that, I was love❤️. Supportive, comfortable, breathable. Like being barefoot but better. Now I just need more colors.
So glad you’re loving the comfort and feel of the shoes, Sheila! It’s awesome to hear they won you over despite not being your usual style. We’ll definitely keep more colors in mind!

Tough to wear others after
Once you get used to the freedom and mobility, it makes the shoe fashion in your closet look silly, and I feel like we should all be okay with normalizing these shoes into work and formal wear.
Thanks for sharing, Srishti! We couldn’t agree more, once your feet get a taste of that natural mobility and comfort, it’s hard to go back. Here’s to normalizing healthy, happy feet everywhere!
Thanks Lisa! We’re happy to hear your Strand Trainers are keeping you comfy during walks and workouts. Let us know when you’re ready to go all-in, we’ll be here!

Love these!
I love these shoes! Took a couple of tries to find the right size. I typically buy an 8.5 Women's athletic shoe. The sizing tool they provide suggested I try an 8. I think the website suggests you purchase a half size up. I went with what the sizing tool suggested. I exchanged for a 9, and that still felt a bit tight. I ended up buying and keeping a 9.5 which is a full size larger than my typical athletic shoe purchase. I watched a video review someone else posted, and they also said they were happy with a full sizer larger than their typical shoe size.
Great feedback, Pamela! Sizing up was the right move, thanks for sharing your fit journey so others can find their perfect match too. Glad you’re loving them!

LIFE CHANGER
I couldn't be more happily surprised by my Peluva's, recommended by Dave on YT channel who always says "stay flexy". Actually they have given me so much stability in my brain as I am a senior and thought my motion was completely decreasing. Now it is totally increasing! Thanks for the science built into these shoes. I now understand mobility and physics of my own feet, legs, hips better and am grateful you are there. I am looking forward to making many more shoe purchases in the future. XO
We’re so happy to hear your Peluvas have made such a positive difference in your mobility and confidence, Maureen. Thank you for sharing your journey - keep staying flexy!

I just Pe-Luv-a these fellas!
Love these toe loving trainers! My pinky toes are unfurling as I type - right back to the alignment mother-nature intended. Remarkable! By the way - these are like wearing the coziest slippers - makes no sense - there is absolutely no more discomfort on my morning walk and workouts - can't really believe it. Thank you! Clearly, I highly recommend. Even though I really did adore my other (Swiss) brand - I can't get over how great my entire foot feels - when I bounce around my day - feels like each toe is getting a gentle hug - and after just a few walks and trips to the gym - my foot fascia if feeling lubricated and just well more balanced -I guess it is true - you don't know what you don't know until you know. Hence I think it is time to coin the phrase - I just - (Pe) Luv-a them! Thanks guys - well done!
Lindsay, this made our day - thank you! We Pe-Luv-a your energy and are so happy your toes and fascia are loving the freedom. Here’s to many more joyful, cozy walks!

I LOVE my new shoes!!
I wear them all the time!! My hip and back pain are totally gone. They’re really comfortable to wear and I appreciate being able to move my toes individually. I won’t ever go back to regular shoes! They’re also cuter than I expected.
So glad to hear they’re helping with your hip and back pain! Love that you’re enjoying the comfort and style - and those toe slots really do make a difference!

Questioned my purchase, now I love!
I bought two pair. I use one indoors and one in the great outdoors. Love the feel, fit and function!
That’s awesome to hear! Indoor or outdoor, sounds like your Peluvas are doing exactly what they should. So glad you stuck with them!

Happy to being doing the right thing for my feet!
The shoes feel great and I can tell that they are helping my knee injury recover much better than with the highly cushioned shoes I was wearing. The only difficult thing is fitting my toes into the slots. It takes me several tries if not more to get them on properly.
Thanks for your feedback, Christa! We’re so glad to hear the shoes are supporting your recovery. The toe slots do take some practice, but your body will thank you!

Cured my plantar fascitis
I've been having lots of problems with one of my feet for over 6 mos. I wore these shoes one day and my foot pain was gone. I don't like having my feet covered in the summer BUT the fact that I can do all my errands with ZERO foot pain makes these shoes a BIG WIN!
That’s amazing, Rita! So happy to hear your plantar fasciitis pain disappeared after just one day in Peluvas, what a win!

This is now my fourth pair of Peluvas.
I love my Peluvas. The “strand” trainers are my favorite.
I know most people buy this kind of shoe because they’re serious athletes. I bought them because I am that friend who trips over thick patches of air. In the six or nine months since I’ bought my first pair of Pelova‘s, I have not tripped over anything or fallen once when I’m in my Peluvas, it’s happened in other shoes, but not in my Peluvas
Love hearing this, Kat! It’s awesome that your Strands have been a total game-changer especially for keeping you steady and confident on your feet. Thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks for sharing, Isabella. We’re glad to hear the Strand Lightweight Trainers are exceeding your expectations. Hopefully they continue to impress on your walks. Let us know how they feel after more wear!

Great shoes!
I love these shoes! I don't ever want to buy another pair of regular shoes again. Thank you for making them!
That’s exactly what we love to hear, Lauri! So glad you’re loving your PELUVAs and making the switch to barefoot comfort!

Ugly but good
They look crazy but feel so good. I went hiking last weekend wearing them and they were amazing. But I just like to wear them around the house and garden too. I’m going to buy another pair.
They might turn heads, but it’s the comfort that wins! Glad they’re treating your feet well on hikes and around the house. Another pair sounds like a great idea!
