Broke em in today

Feel great. Tread run and squatting, great balance and comfort. 3rd pair of Peluvas. Please make navy blue!

Vinny, love it. Great balance for running and squatting, and third pair is a strong vote. Navy blue request noted.

Pleasantly surprised

I had been searching for running shoes to help me since I am an overweight person with wide flat feet or duck feet as I called them when I happened to come across Peluva. After a bit of research decided to try them. I’m very glad I did because I’ve noticed that they have assisted me in running for longer periods of times without pain in my feet. I was also greatly surprised at how comfortable they were without any real cushion. While the price tag is high for somethings that is not so much of a high end/known name brand, I do feel that they’re very worth it and will slowly but surely be buying more pairs… highly recommend giving them a try if you are curious about them

Ivan, this is great to hear. Especially that you are running longer with less foot pain even without a ton of cushion. Appreciate the honest note on price too, and really glad they are feeling worth it.

Promotes better natural foot motion

Better fit than those old Vibram soled 5-toe shoes of a few years back.

Response from Peluva

Love hearing that, Michael. If these are fitting better than your older toe shoes, that is exactly the experience we’re aiming for. Enjoy that natural foot motion.

Loving the space between my toes

So I decided to try your product because I wasn’t able to splay my toes and this was becoming an issue as standing on one leg requires a well balanced base (yoga brought this into focus). I started using my lightweight trainers to see if I could improve this. I am very happy to say that I’m really starting to see progress ( and space) between my toes. This may seem silly to some but not to me. I would be remiss if I didn’t comment on the amazing customer service I received from the entire team with a special shoutout to Jana which I originally thought was an agentic AI agent but is a real person. She has been a major reason why I continued to push forward with this product as getting the correct fit was a bit tricky for me ( broken toes, bunions, etc). We spent a bunch of time communicating and I wanted thank her personally for her dedication and her knowledge. Thanks again Peluva, keep hiring people like Jana Thank you Peluva

Response from Peluva

Richard, this is such a meaningful win. The toe splay and balance connection is real, especially for yoga and single-leg stability, and we’re thrilled you’re seeing progress. Huge thank you for calling out Jana by name. We’ll make sure she sees this, and we really appreciate you sticking with the fit process.

My Strand ATR's are making a difference

I have worn my Strand ATRs for 2 weeks and going into week 3 I have noticed the difference in my posture. I am not having a lot of pain in my back, my knees are not hurting to much; and my feet are becoming stronger.

Willie M.· United States· February 19, 2026

Response from Peluva

Willie, love this update. Noticing posture changes and less back and knee discomfort after just a couple weeks is a big deal. Keep us posted as you move into week three and beyond.

Verified Buyer

The change is awesome!

My ATRs have caused some great changes in my posture, strengthen my feet and stopped the pain in them. They Helped alleviate my knee pain, and I notice my gate is stronger.

Amazing shoes

I've wanted to try toe shoes for years; however, was sure I wouldn't be able to get my right foot in (4 toes are pinned straight, big toe drastically crooked, and overlapping toes). The first day I had to force the shoe on while wearing toe spreaders, but after that, it improved every day. My feet will never be perfect, but after the first month there was so much improvement in flexibility, and a sharp reduction in pain. They're honestly the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn (I have these and the trail shoes)... I forsee myself being a long term customer!

Phillip F.· February 19, 2026

Response from Peluva

Phillip, this is incredible. The fact that you saw improved flexibility and less pain over the first month, even with a complex foot situation, means a lot. Thank you for trusting the process and sharing such a detailed update.

First barefoot shoe

Very good shoe, comfortable! Great for lifting and doing calisthenics! Took a min to learn how to put them on but I’m happy with my purchase. Thank you.

At first I thought they were too big.

Yes, at first too big both heal and toe. Talked to customer service (awesome peeps) and told to wear them several times on the court before sending back. After wearing 3 times on the pickleball court I was glad I didn’t go a 1/2 size smaller. Feet swell (especially in AZ) and the shoes formed to my feet and now cannot imagine going smaller or wearing conventional court shoes. I own 3 pairs currently (street and court) and thinking about a 4th pair in different color. The only time I don’t wear them is going out in the evening. Wish I could, though. I have bunions, neuromas and a second toe that is longer than big toe. Feet have hurt most of my life and now I have relief from pain and often wear my Peluva’s 5-6 hours a day.

Response from Peluva

Shirley, what a fantastic review. The swelling note and “three sessions later it formed to my feet” insight is so helpful, especially for court athletes in warmer climates. We’re thrilled you’re getting real relief with bunions and neuroma history, and that you’re reaching for Peluvas most days.

Dock’s Review

I really dig these! I particularly like the traditional shoelaces with this pair of Peluvas as well imparted to the first pair that I bought, which had the stretchy pull laces. I replaced the laces of that first pair with traditional laces finding they now work much better. I am a retired Navy SEAL with significant back-injury-induced neuropathy impacting my past ability to speak my toes naturally. The traditional laces allow me to open my Peluvas more widely making it easier for me to line my toes up with the individual toe slots. I am a past life longtime triathlete, distance runner, etc. now doing mostly Nordic walking and swimming for aerobic activity (long story). I now wear pretty much exclusively Peluvas for all physical activities requiring shoes. Peluva seem to me to really get it right offering a minimalist shoe feel with just the right amount of support along with the toe-separating option! I am about to order a couple more pairs as well as the suede desert boots. For what it is worth, people notice and athletic sorts of people are asking questions. So, I am blowing you up. Also, I plan to snag a pair for my wife to see whether she finds them as ideal as do I. Personally, I would like to see heel pull loops on all the shoes. Here’s to Peluva — cheers👣🕶️♾️ PS: the attached pic shows my original pair of Peluvas and my initial shoe string mod for easier access😎

Response from Peluva

Dock, thank you for such a detailed, generous review. Really glad the traditional laces made toe alignment and entry easier for you, and that you’re getting the minimalist feel with the right level of support. The request for heel pull loops on all models is noted and appreciated. Also, thank you for spreading the word.

So Comfortable!!

I slipped these shoes on and it took a little adjusting but they felt so good to walk in. I did overdo it the first day and had to come back to them a few days afterwards and start introducing them a little at a time. I had a meniscus tear in my right knee so this irratated it when I was in them too long. I am doing better as I am getting my body used to the shoes. I will continue to wear these. I love them!!

Kathleen C.· February 17, 2026
Women's Strand Lightweight Trainer

Response from Peluva

Kathleen, we love hearing how comfortable they felt right away. You approached the transition exactly right by easing back in after overdoing it on day one. With a meniscus tear history, that gradual ramp-up is key. So glad you’re improving as your body adapts, and we’re excited you’ll be continuing with them!

Verified Buyer

Love these

I bought these to wear around the house and for my work outs. I originally wore orthotics. My body was asking for something that would create more freedom than the restrictions of orthotics. I am finding these to be perfect for my knee. I ordered a pair to wear outside now. I believe these will contribute to the health of my knee and will aid in straightening this hammer toe.

Jana, this is awesome. We’re so glad you’re feeling more freedom compared to orthotics and that they’re helping your knee. Love that you’re already grabbing an outdoor pair too, and we’re cheering you on with that hammer toe progress.
