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.

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!

Love them

I love these shoes! And my feet pain is gone! They are a bit warm and my feet almost feel a little closterphobic. But totally worth getting used to them!

These shoes run really small I am usually a 8.5 and i rounded up and ordered a size US9 and its still too small for me.

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.

Good for my cramped toes

Good idea. A bit tough to get toes in correct space is my only complaint. I bought 2 pair so i have an indoor pair.

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!

I don’t know if I’m ready to wear them all the time but these shoes feel incredibly comfortable on my walks and weightlifting days.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

Verified Buyer

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.

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

More comfortable than I thought

I have used them for my walks and have found them to be more comfortable than I figured! Only had them a few days but so far so good.

IN LOVE

These are by far the best shoes I have worn. I use to come home from work with soreness and throbbing feet & with these shoes it took it away. In the beginning I did feel soreness especially on the toes but only because my toes were not used to being seperated like that but after wearing them everyday for a few weeks it slowly started to feel better and now Im walking so comfortably. I also felt muscles in my feet being used that I wasnt used to!! Crazy!! I believe I have stronger feet! I know i do! What is even more remarkable is that the bunions I have are nearly almost gone. You cant even tell and they were getting bad.. they almost look how they used to before bunions appeared. I work with them & I workout with them. Only issue i found was that after 2 weeks of using them they started to fall apart just a tiny bit in the toe area but nothing super glue can fix. And after a month or so another toe started to fall apart as well. Peluva you have done a wonderful job in making these shoes but I hope that 1 issue can be improved so it does not happen again! I also wish & hope you make PELUVA SNOW BOOTS or maybe STEEL TOE PELUVAS!!! Wow would that be a dream!! I also would like to say I bought water resistant peluvas in white. I cant wait to buy more!! Im very happy and please with my purchase! I could say a lot more but i will leave it at that! Thank you for making such outstanding magnificent shoes! 🙏🏻
