Very comfortable
Overall I really like these shoes. The sizing is a little wonky. I used the online sizing tool and ordered the recommended size. They fit well except for the big toe, which was too short. It felt like that toe wouldn’t flatten completely and I was sure to develop a hole at the end. My big toe isn’t much longer than the second toe, they look pretty standard to me. I exchanged (very easy, thank you Peluva) and the next size up was more comfortable on my big toe. The length on all the other toes is kind of too long and I was worried I would trip or have to alter my gait in some way, but this hasn’t been the case. Transitioning has been easy, I’ve walked in them for several miles at a time outside and on the treadmill. At some point I may try wearing them to work if I can tolerate the teasing by my coworkers.
Thanks for the helpful sizing note—we’re glad you like them overall.

Good product
It's a good feel, it's comfortable and flexible. I'm not sure how good the sizing is because I'm pretty snug in the toe, I'm assuming as it breaks in it will fit just right.
Thanks for the honest feedback—we’re glad they feel comfortable and flexible so far.

They do help!
I love them so far. I feel I need to try a size smaller to fit my foot a little more correctly. They do relieve me of constant pain in my feet. I will be using more of these shoes.
Love the color but didn't relize the sole was so firm. So I ended up with doing a exchange for a different style and softer sole. Otherwise this style itself is durable.. cute... as well as relief of anxiety about shoes.. as in a standard shoe my feet would feel trapped which led me to disliking both shoes and socks as I feel more free when I am barefoot and when I tried these on I was walking around inside the house and would go from 9am to bedtime 930 10 ish pm forgetting that I had shoes on till I went to get ready for bed🙃 I am very thankful to have found a tennis shoe I could wear and still allow my feet to feel free and not trapped in a shoe... as in reality if you need to run a errand its against the law to drive barefoot as well as against store policy to walk around public buildings barefoot 🙃 they are even comfortable to wear on the motorcycle. The first foot Pic of my right foot was before I tried paluva shoes as you can see swelling and angled or more curved toes... the one of my left foot is after just the trial period but about a week or so and already my foot doesn't swell and my toes began to straighten to there national position.❤️
Now I was at a craft store over hear another adult woman mention how odd and weird my shoes were i just ignored and didn't respond and her teen daughter about 16/17 looked at her mom and said mom its a style and as I kept to myself it made my heart feel joyful knowing not everyone judges out feet and what we wear..... but others do notice our shoe appearance 🙃🙃🙃
We’re glad they helped your feet feel free, and we appreciate the honest note on the firmer sole.

Great shoe, but slightly limiting based on my foot shape.
First, I'm generally a fan (early impressions) of this shoe! I have a slightly narrow, tapered foot (size 11), and initially ordered an 11.5 ATR, which turned out to be too large for me. After switching to an 11, I still found that my 3rd toe only went about half way into the toe pocket, and my 4th and 5th toes barely reached. Obviously, Peluva cannot conform to every foot shape. I just happen to fall a bit outside of the "normal range" that the shoe tries to meet. I have found that wearing toe socks provides a much more comfortable/secure feeling fit. Unfortunately, I suffered a serious achilles strain shortly after receiving the shoes (not related to the shoes!), but I look forward to seeing what they (and I) can do once I'm healed.
So glad you’re enjoying the comfort and feel on your second pair!

In purple, ordered bigger size than usual
Beautiful in the lavender color. Probably didn't need the larger size (9 instead of previously 8.5). I believe the ATR sizes bigger than all the other pairs of Peluvas I got. My favorite pair so far. They still wear out fast. My previous ATR shoes got wholes in soles at the ball of the feet after a 10 miles hike on gravely trail, which makes them expensive to replace that fast. Still best out there on the market presently.
Thanks for the honest feedback—we’re glad they’re your favorite so far and appreciate the durability note.

Great Shoe. Wears out fast.
Had them for a little for a month now, they wear out pretty fast. :(
But very comfortable and probably the best shoe I've ever put on my feet for sure.

Functional
I have been wearing these shoes daily for just over a year, and they have not fallen apart yet. I will say these are good for beginners just getting into the barefoot or zero drop style. Coming from regular shoes, these took at least a month to break in and for my feet to stop hurting in them, I wear them at work 6-8 hours a day walking and standing. Once my feet adjusted to the this style of shoe, they felt amazing to put on, tho my feet still get sore from walking 6-8, but they never hurt the next morning.
These are thicker, and not as flexible, than most barefoot shoes, and they provide a bit of cushion for walking on hard surfaces, like tile, or pavement. They are still too thin for winter, any weather below 40F, just make sure you aren't outside too long, I swap to a fuzzy zero drop boot for winter.
I highly recommend giving these a shot if you are new to zero drop or barefoot shoes, BUT, I would personally price tag these around $80-90. I bought them at $120, they are now around $150, I'm sure the R&D may cost a lot, and inflation is, you know, but the quality of the physical shoe materials is seems the same as any other shoe. Due to the increase in cost I will not be buying these again once I need new shoes. If money is not an issue, they are still a great shoe to try!
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback—we’re glad they’ve held up well and helped you transition into barefoot-style shoes.

Free feet that are getting me stronger Feet to Yead
The shoes are comfortable after. Used them at home only to start breaking them in.
Went in a 5 mile walk after a week and felt good.
I can notice how I’m getting stronger throughout finding my imbalances in my body. Adjustment and proper care is key .
Sizing is good with socks. But, I still wonder if I should be a 1/2 size smaller.
No socks I have a finger + gap. Not sure how they should really feel. Yet after walk or workout with natural foot expansion they feel good. So I have to think overall I have the right size.
I’m building up on my walking distance.
Walking in grass and natural surfaces I feel real good. Concrete as with most shoes I feel more tired or sore.
So far I think they are doing good.
Putting these on for the first time I was surprised at how comfortable they felt! I had tried other five toe shoes from other brands but they always left my feet hurting but these were completely different. I wear them everywhere now except when I'm riding. The only downside I've found is when I attempted to wear them without socks as I found the material to be rough enough to cause some pain in between the toes after wearing them for an extended period but with socks nothing else compares!
Glad they’re comfortable and working so well with socks!

Good shoes
I experienced minimal discomfort and adapted to them quickly, likely because I am used to toe socks. My primary concern lies with the breathability of shoes. I naturally have sweaty feet, and after two weeks of consistent wear, even with changing socks twice daily, a significant odor developed.
Also do not hike in weeds in these, you will catch a lot of stuff with your toes.
