My mom liked them a lot. She doesn't want to stop wearing them.

Comfortable

Took a bit to adjust to the feet but am loving them and hoping they will help with my bunion and realign my knees/joints from previous shoes worn with too much cushion! Did have to upsize a half size and like wearing them with the socks.

Great fit

I’m excited about the benefits… I’ll give another review once I have more wear…so far so comfy

Pretty comfortable

I purchased two pairs. I drove in one pair for a long distance. Very comfortable. I walk around the house with the other pair. Very comfortable. No plantar fasciitis or anything. Size up for one whole size. I received one pair with defect, but was able to exchange. Customer service was very responsive. I had to pay to ship the other pair back to me, but that was not a big deal. Thanks

Toe Separation for the WIN

With a moderate bunion and hammer toe adjacent, I've tried other barefoot style shoes and they were seriously uncomfortable. These shoes have a great combination of thin sole and better arch support, but the reason I LOVE them is the toe separation. Both problem toes feel much better after wearing these shoes. It's a snowy winter, so I've only been wearing them around the house for a few hours at a time. The only negative is getting each toe into the proper slot of the shoe. It helps to slide them in gradually, guiding the toe with fingers from the outside of the shoe. Seriously, you should get these shoes. The website's advice to buy a half size larger than my regular shoes was spot on, although it would be easier if they adjusted the labeled size.

Feet feel healthy

I do get a lot of comments about the way the shoes look but I don’t care because they feel great. I feel productive wearing them. I like the mesh because they breath so well

Peluva believer

Even though all my loved ones, tell me they cannot stand to look at my “gorilla feet”,” I tell them that they really need to try Peluva themselves and if they do, they will love them. It’s true, like other reviewers have said, all the muscles in your feet and all your toes are awakened when you wear them. Your feet feel like they really grip the ground. I feel so stable when I am doing leg weights in the gym. My knees hurt less as I am stepping up onto a higher surface, which was not the case in a traditional shoe. I have also gone on long walks and they felt great for this purpose as well. I did not notice the foot pain or fatigue that others have mentioned. I have worn them at home and at the gym a few times before, so maybe that’s all the breaking in that was required. I was happy with the size that I purchased, which was based on the method described on the website, which involved taking a photo of your feet against a wall with an 8x10 Pierce of paper in the picture. I bought a women’s 8.5, and I normally buy an 8 in Altras. A extremely minor thing is I do feel a tiny bit of pressure on top of my big toes, but I think thry may be slightly larger than the average big toe. 🤪 I’m hopeful that my foot issues like bunions and plantar fasciitis will heal as well.

“Peluva believer” - we love that! Thanks for the detailed review and for sticking through the breaking-in period. Hope the shoes keep supporting your goals.

I did not want to take them off!

I love how the shoes fit. The size tool was very helpful. I would never choose 10.5 as I usually wear 8.5. After I put them on, I loved the feeling so much that I kept them on for a while.

Response from Peluva

Thank you so much, Kateryna! We’re thrilled the size tool helped and that the 10.5 worked out so well for you. It’s amazing to hear that you didn’t want to take them off, that’s the comfort we aim for!

Verified Buyer

nice & comfortable

I ordered the black with shoe laces. I ordered a women's size 10, I normally wear size 9. They were big enough with my toe socks on. I will try a 9.5 next time, when I order a slip on pair. The shoes are comfortable and my toes are happy in them. For the size, I think they run true to size for a 9, but I wanted bigger for the toe socks. My toes did not reach the top of the shoe box in the size 10 and I have plenty of toe/foot room.

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the thoughtful review, Valerie! Glad your toes are happy. A 9.5 might be a perfect middle ground next time, especially for the slip-on style.

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.

Happy with my purchase

This is the second pair of Peluvas I purchased and, over all, I am happy with them. I actually purchased two pairs to replace the ones I wore out- one for my daily walks and one for casual wear. However, I did order the same size I had previously because they fit well but these new shoes are a tad too short. I hesitated returning them because I think going up a half size would be too much. I am hoping the shoes will stretch to accommodate my feet. In the meantime, I am enjoying the '10 toe massage'!

Thank you for your continued support, Sighle. We appreciate your feedback on sizing and hope the shoes stretch just enough for that perfect fit. Enjoy that 10-toe massage!

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.

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

This is my first pair of fingered sneakers. They seem to fit well. Still getting used to the unique feel of them.

I love them, but...

I don't love them as my Peluva cross trainers. They are comfortable, and I ordered one full size up, but the toe boxes themselves are a little more snug. And after wearing them consistenly for almost a month now, they haven't relaxed as much as I would like. Don't get me wrong, they are over-all comfortable for walking, they just aren't as comfy as my x-trainers are. I ordered the black and white ombre, and I absolutely DO love the style. They look great on, and I get a lot of comments and questions when I wear them out and about.

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
