Peluva shoes
So far I really like these shoes. The chat person told me to get a bigger size than normal and I was hesitant but ended up listening to her and getting a 9. I have never worn a 9 in my life. My regular shoe size is 71/2 and my running shoe is an 81/2 but they fit just right.
Only thing I would change is maybe the back of the heal so when you put these shoes on it doesn't collapse as much and would be easier to slip the shoes on.
Great to hear the sizing advice paid off, Joan. We appreciate your thoughts on the heel design. Your feedback helps us improve the slip-on experience.

Peluva shoes
My second purchase of Peluva shoes I ordered another half size up and they fit better. I was able to wear them a full day on the first day. I errored on the toe socks I purchased ankle socks thinking they would cover
my ankle but apparently I needed the half crew sock?
Thanks for coming back for a second pair, Jeanne. We’re glad the half size up worked better this time. And yes, if you’re looking for more ankle coverage, the half crew socks are the way to go. Appreciate the thoughtful feedback.

Good tread, not for people with high arches/insteps
This is my second pair of Peluva's (love my strand sport mesh!) and I have to say that the tread is great. However, the foot opening is quite small because of the elastic laces, making it a real chore for those of us with high arches/insteps. It would've been nice to include a pair of regular laces so that I can open the shoe more to get my "high volume" foot into it. Also, the 2nd toe on the left shoe doesn't lay flat. I don't have this issue with my sport mesh so I'm wondering if this is a quality issue with this shoe/batch. They are great once I get them on my foot, but when these wear out I will not replace them with the same model.
Thanks for the thorough review. We’re glad the tread is working well but appreciate your honest feedback about fit and the toe issue. It’s super helpful for future improvements.

The Game Changer
So, I've had my shoes for a couple of weeks now. Initially I ordered a little too large. The return and reshipping process was so smooth. My second pair was the right fit. I went a full size up from my normal shoe size (this was the right size). Make sure to get the right size socks. I did order a set of ankle toe socks but they only had a small size. I got 3 pairs of the no show in medium. If you choose a sock size too small, it WILL cause discomfort or pain. It took a few times to get my feet used to the alignment when putting the shoes on. It takes a few days to adjust as well. I have bad hips, knock-knees, and high arches. I can tell you that none of those have been a problem. But, when you're breaking them in, they will make you feel where you are weak in your legs (i.e. knee tendons, ankles, soles, whatever). I love these shoes. They are lightweight and I can walk on any surface without fear of the sole poking me when I step on something uneven.
If you're like me who spent years in confining work boots or tight closed toe shoes, you will need to give yourself a grace period. It is all worth it in the end. Worth the money. Worth the wait. Worth the return and reship. Customer service is easy and quick.
These shoes are amazing. Haven't tried running in them, but I do work in the ER and they have made my life more comfortable and mobile.
Such an awesome and detailed review, Lindsey. Really appreciate your notes on sizing, break-in, and how the shoes are helping with overall comfort and alignment. So glad they’re making a difference for you!

Elastics are little problematic but I love the shoes!

Best purchase ever
Everyone has been making fun of me since I got these. But I dont care- they are so comfortable and fun. I feel like I can take on the world each time I go walking or hiking. They wont be the ones laughing when I have feet of steel and they have feet pain 💪
Thanks for sharing, Roxanne. Glad they held up well on your hikes and gave you that grounded feel.

5 Stars
I agree with the recommendation to order 1/2 size up. I wasn't sure I'd like them at first, the first few hours made my feet ache a little - I'm recovering from a left foot injury. But the more I wear them, the more I like them and I definitely feel more grounded which was my goal. I love the toe spread. I'm looking for some good alpaca toe socks now.
Glad you’re loving them so far, Elaine. Looking forward to hearing your update in a few months!

Got back to my 8 mile hikes thanks to these!
Loving these ATRs! The sole is rugged enough to handle the rocky terrain in the mountains where I hike. Really like the heel pull tab & quick lace up feature. They are fairly water resistant & roomy enough to fit a boot 5 finger sock so I can comfortably hike in the cooler weather. The reflective detail is nice for the darker days of winter. I got the black on black version. This is my 3rd pair of Peluvas but these are my favorites. I use the strand trainer for my gym workouts & every day running around. I had foot surgery for chronic pain & these shoes are the ONLY thing that has given me pain relief & ability to return to my activities after failed surgery. Wish more of the surgeons would suggest these shoes for those of us with chronic foot pain.
This is amazing to hear, Kimberly! We’re so glad the ATRs helped you get back to your 8-mile hikes. Thanks for sharing all the thoughtful details - we’re honored to be part of your recovery journey!

Great traction for my weights - testing for a run
Feel good and grippy.
Hard time with exchange and with paying for unlimited exchange. Should be free.
Two pairs both needed whole size up, not 1/2 size up.
Glad the traction is working well for your workouts, Alice. Appreciate the feedback on sizing and exchange experience.

Love it!
Beautiful, comfortable, stylish, and great for hiking out just day to day walking around! I’m glad I went a half size above what I normally get, so it does run a touch small.
Great to hear these are working so well for your jogs. Thanks for the love!

The material is not canvas, cotton or any other soft material, It feels like plastic.
I hope they feel better by softening up, when I wear them.
I am kind of disappointed but I love my other Peluva's, so hopefully, I will love these too after wearing them.
I’ve worn orthotics, Ecco, On Cloud shoes and other barefoot style shoes…. Peluva has been my match made in sole heaven! My body feels so much better wearing Peluva.
Smart move sizing up. Great to hear that tweak made all the difference in comfort!

Great comfort
I love these.
Sizing is the only issue I have. I normally wear a 10 in womans so I ordered a 10.5 Cannot wear them with socks at all. Too snug. I then ordered an 11 which fits perfectly. I'll keep the 10.5's for summer when I don't need to wear socks.
I wear them to physical therapy (shattered femur and lateral hip replacement) They work wonderfully. No toe box to trip on and I can feel the floor and balance board better than my regular running shoes.
Great to hear they’re helping with your recovery and balance. Smart move keeping both sizes!

Love these shoes
Initially it took some effort for my toes to separate but now I wear these shoes all the time. I have them in all black so they go with whatever I wear. Super lightweight and comfortable.
It’s great to hear your shoes have become an everyday staple. That all-black look really does make them easy to pair with anything. Enjoy the comfort and lightness!

Miracle shoes
These shoes are absolutely a miracle for me. I have been in constant foot pain for about 1 year. I have tried everything. Multiple Dr. appointment. Multiple chiropractic appointments even $2000 worth of insoles. All of which didn’t make a difference. Yet, I put these crazy looking shoes on and I have had any pain. It was instant relief. This is why I tell everybody who asks these are miracle shoes. Thank you so much. Also you’re over. Service is over-the-top. Excellent excellent excellent customer service.
We’re truly happy to hear about your relief and that the shoes made such a difference. Your story is inspiring, and your kind words are appreciated!

My new favorite walking / hiking shoe!
I've come to wear my Peluva's almost daily. They're so comfortable I sometimes forget I'm wearing them; socks, too! It took about 2 full weeks of walking in them for them to comform to my feet. I ordered a full size up. Now they fit like a glove. I'm going to get a second pair soon, I'm so convinced by them! I'm thoroughly satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend them to others who might be sitting on the fence. You won't regret it!
Your enthusiasm means a lot, Anji! Delighted to hear they’re now your go-to shoes. Enjoy your walks and hikes in comfort!

So comfortable!
Oh my gosh! I was skeptical, but now I want to wear my Peluva shoes all the time. Unfortunately, it is too cold now to wear them outside, but I wear them indoors all the time. I can feel my feet getting stronger and my balance is so good. Highly recommended!
That’s amazing to hear, Dianne! Glad you’re feeling stronger and more balanced - perfect indoor choice when it’s too chilly outside!

Amazing shoe!
I have been wearing my peluvas for a few months now. I started by just wearing them at home or during my workouts but like them so much I decided to wear them as my primary work shoe. Now I can’t stand to wear any other work shoes so I’ll be purchasing another pair shoe to become my “at home” pair.
I have been dealing with plantar fasciitis and these shoes definitely are helping me work through that. I have better balance with working out as well.
Once you give these shoes a try, you might find all other shoes to be lesser-than.
