Beautiful red color. I thought it might be more salmon red but its a true red (preferred).
CON: white laces and white loops. Just too garish and frankly the white laces look cheap. The shoe is the star of the show and white laces are just visual noise. Ive replaced them with red. Would look better with red loops and red laces, like the urban camo model’s black loops/laces. I own those too. Actually, I have 7 pairs of Peluvas now.

I've been wearing them for the past 2 weeks and I can feel a difference in my balace when walking, running, lifting/working out. The pain in my hips have subsided and I can feel a difference in my gate. They're comfortable considering I've been walking in close-toed shoes most of my life. I'm a size 8. 5 and purchased a 9. 5, but might return these and get a size 10. My pinkie toes are a little snug in the 9. 5. Despite the little discomfort with my pinkies, I'm loving the shoe and plan on getting the Active Slip-ons next.

Welcome to the Peluva family, Laura! We’re thrilled you’re loving how they feel on your walks.

Perfect
It’s no wonder I always thought my whole life why our shoes were shaped unnaturally towards the toes. These shoes feel like what a shoe is supposed to feel like
Love hearing this, Nathan! It really does make a difference when shoes follow the natural shape of your feet. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Feel great
I love the shoes . I had to go up a full size as the comments suggested and got it right the first try. Yay!😍. Not so with the socks . they fit great in the toes but the heels were too long and saggy. Customer service was very good and I returned them and am just going sockless which is fine
We’re so glad the shoes worked out perfectly, Marion. Thanks for the feedback on the socks, and we’re happy customer service was able to help. Sockless is always a solid option too!

Love them! Thank you!
Wore them 3 times already, and no problem, but amazing berafoot walk feeling. WOW!❤️
Thanks for sharing your experience, Kathleen. We’re glad to hear the shoes offer comfort and traction, though we’re sorry to hear about the neuroma discomfort. If it persists, feel free to reach out to our team, we’d love to help.

The BEST
These have been a game changer for me in the gym especially on a leg day. I feel so grounded in a way I never felt before. The funny looks I get in the gym are classic, but it’s so worth it. Even convinced a friend to buy a pair. Looking foward to buying the outdoor ones! Definitely size up, as I should’ve listened to the recommendations on that. Nonetheless, I am satisfied!
Love this, Denisha. So glad they’ve leveled up your leg days and that grounded feeling is real. And props for spreading the word!

Second pair of Sport Mesh and I will continue to buy more!
I've been wearing my first pair of Peluva Sport Mesh for 5 months and love how my foot and toes feel so connected to the ground. I have a hard time wearing non-barefoot shoes so I bought the black/black as my "dress" shoe since Peluva doesn't make a black leather shoe for women - hint! hint! I bought my first pair at the 2025 Barefoot Shoe Expo in Denver, but purchased this pair online. I did notice with this pair and a Strand ATR that I bought online that the 2nd toe on the left foot doesn't lay flat on top (it's kind of wrinkly) so I'm wondering if they have a quality control issue. It doesn't affect functionality, just a little bit of aesthetics. Will definitely be buying more of the Strand Sport Mesh.
Amazing to hear you’re so connected to the ground in your Peluvas. Thanks for the heads-up on the toe detail, we’ll pass that along. And noted on the black leather shoe for women!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Strand Sport Mesh!
I've been wearing toe spacers in a brand of barefoot shoes and stumbled upon Peluva at the 2025 Barefoot Expo in Denver. It took me a good five minutes and some sweat to figure out how to get the shoes on because 1-it was my first time and 2-I have a broken toe on each foot (probably didn't help the process). Once I got them on ... WOW! Loved how my foot and toes felt so connected to the ground. I wear them without socks and ended up getting an 8.5. In a Nike running sneaker I wear a 9. Traction is also great - I've worn them on a wet pool deck and didn't slip at all. I wear these constantly and get so many compliments on both the shoe and the color (red). Will definitely buy these again in the same color and maybe another color as well.
Love this story! From a tough first try to total ground connection and even compliments. So glad you’re enjoying them, and props for pushing through with those broken toes!

Women's Strand Sprot Mesh
I love these sneakers. They are the best pair of sneakers I have ever purchased. They totally keep your feet mechanically correct which is very crucial for lifting weights to minimize injury.
I literally wear them everywhere and immediately wanted another pair. My legs no longer hurt when walking in these and I just feel more balanced and in control. Cant wait til they bring out more colors. Im a women sz 8.5 so I sized up to womens sz 9.5 and perfect
We’re thrilled the Strand Sport Mesh is bringing you comfort and relief. It’s great to hear it’s helping with your hammer toe. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Love these shoes!!
Bought them because I wanted something minimal for my home gym/workouts. I usually put them on in the morning and wear them all day (while at work). Giving my toes room to move feels so good. I also usually wear them without socks, but the socks feel amazing too.
Glad you found the right fit, Dana. Enjoy breaking them in!

Purchased for my 16 yr old daughter for the gym
She absolutely loves them, she feels like she has more power when lifting weights, running she says she feels much lighter on her feet, and loves the flexibility of toes.
