Great shoe!
I’ve struggled to find a shoe that helps with my foot pain long term. Most work for a while but then my feet start hurting again. These shoes have helped so much with my foot pain! I can feel the muscles in my feet working as they should naturally when I go for walks in them. They have been a great addition to my footwear and will be adding more in the future!
So glad to hear they’ve helped with your foot pain, Mariah! Sounds like your feet are thriving, enjoy every step!

Love them!
I was genuinely shocked at how comfortable these shoes were when I first put them on and went for a hike. They have the perfect amount of cushion without taking away from the “barefoot” walking experience. They are my favorite shoes to go on hikes/walks now!
That’s amazing to hear, Samantha! So glad they’re helping with comfort and ankle strength, thanks for sharing!

Love these toe shoes
This is my first pair of Peluvas and this will be my go to brand. The soles are the perfect thickness to protect on rocks and the barefoot feels is still great! I thought at first they were a touch big but once I had my toe socks on, the fit is perfect. I ordered my normals size. I’m looking forward to my next pair and have been browsing the site to see which style they will be. I have worn another brand of toe shoes for almost 20 years but their quality was deteriorating. I’m so thankful to have found Peluva!
Thanks so much, Roberta! Love that you’re enjoying the fit and feel, can’t wait for you to pick out your next pair!

The 3rd Time was the Charm!
I had some difficulty finding the right size. Size 10 was too small, size 11 was too big… and I went for the 11 on the second try because the size 10 was REALLY too small.
But size 10.5 has turned out to be just right! The fit is good, and these have more cushioning in the soles than my Vibram 5 finger shoes. This also makes them warmer to wear, which is really nice with fall and winter coming. I’m really going to enjoy these shoes and I’ll soon be looking for my next favorite pair of Peluva’s!
So glad the third try was the charm, Niara! Happy to hear the fit and warmth are just right, enjoy your new pair, and happy early winter walks!

The best footwear!
I get stopped on the street everywhere I walk in the city asking about my footwear. I tell them all about how comfortable and great this footwear is. Actually my pink shoes get noticed more than the black ones I just purchased!
Amazing to hear, Amanda! Thanks for spreading the word out there, those pink ones definitely turn heads!

Womens Strand ATR
I call them trail shoes. I will be hiking in varied trails in these. At first, I didn't like them but each day I wear them they get more comfortable! Like a warm hug for my feet! I also have the desert boots and love them. Thank you for a comfortable shoe that works with and not against my foot! 🌹
Christina, love hearing how the Strand ATRs are growing on you, that “warm hug” feeling is exactly what we’re going for. Excited for you to hit the trails with them!

Strand ATR
I’m so impressed! Using these shoes help my muscles in my legs/ankle foot work together. I have a stronger stride. My flexibility is amazing!
Sarah, love to hear the Strand ATRs are hitting the mark for both style and function especially that toe splay and easy on-off feel!

Women’s Peluva
These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have worn toe shoes in the past but needed i soles in them because they were so uncomfortable. I would switch between them and wide toe box tennis shoes. Since buying my first pair of Peluvas, I have no desire to wear any other shoes. I wear them to work out, including running and jumping rope, and just every day wear.
Rani, that’s incredible to hear, thank you! It’s awesome that your Peluvas have replaced both your old toe shoes and wide toe box sneakers. That kind of all-day comfort and performance is exactly what we aim for.
So glad to hear they’re working well for you! Great call on sizing up, enjoy your workouts in them!

Love These!
I've been wearing minimal zero drop shoes for a long time but always wore toe spreaders that would slip out of place when I was hiking and it drove me nutso. I've done numerous hikes in these and my feet feel fabulous! Because I have skinny feet the toe spaces are a little big but the length is great...they kind of look "clowny" on my feet from my view but they are wonderful otherwise. I'll be buying more Peluva's for sure.
So glad the Strand ATRs are working out on your hikes especially without the hassle of slipping toe spreaders! Thanks for the fun and honest feedback, we’ll be here when you’re ready for your next pair!

Feels great
I have to say that there is a learning curve for the toes but after wearing for the second day I knew this was going to work for me. No leg cramping and no foot cramping. Now I want a second pair and some slippers!!!
So happy to hear they’re working for you, no cramping is a big win! Once you get past that toe learning curve, it really clicks. Love that you’re already thinking about your next pair!

Favorite shoe
It is necessary to go up in size and wear them at home for a bit to break them in. Then they will be your favorite shoe too! Back feels better, hip and feet too.
Love to hear they’ve become your favorite and that they’re helping with overall comfort and alignment. Great advice on sizing up and breaking them in at home!

Big changes!
I’m really enjoying these shoes. It took a little doing to get them on the first time or two. I have been trying to make changes in my feet which I’m sure was part of the difficult in getting into them. My feet have changed rapidly since starting to wear them. The pain in my hip is gone and I have more flexibility in my feet. I’m sure is improving my balance too.
I did a quick break in upon arrival and then did a sunrise event at Burgess Falls here in TN. I zipped up and down the climb to the waterfall like a champ and ABSOLUTELY LOVED being able to feel the ground but not be impacted by it if that makes sense. Plenty of padding that I didn't feel like every pebble might leave me bruised but not so much that I couldn't feel the pebbles and adjust my steps. I told my husband how much more stable I felt. I received a few compliments and bragged about the brand (this is my third pair in total).
That makes perfect sense and it’s exactly what we designed the Strand ATR for! So glad you felt stable and connected out on the trails. Thanks for sharing the love!

It’s a process
I think I have ordered four different shipments of shoes now. And perhaps I finally figured out which ones are right for me. Special appreciation to the company for the exchange process!
My favorite are the slip on shoes for around the house. They don’t have much structure on them, but that makes him really great for hanging around. Also, I don’t wear socks with them so I took a pair that is a half size bigger than my normal. But the other shoes I had to send back twice and I need a full size bigger than my normal shoe size. I have noticed that by wearing the shoes that when I put my sneakers on to play tennis, my toes are more in position in the shoes and I’m able to engage them better. I wish Pelova would make tennis shoes.
Thank you for sticking with us through the trial-and-error process, we know finding the right fit can take a few tries. So glad you’re feeling the toe engagement benefits, and we’ll definitely pass along the tennis shoe request!
That’s amazing to hear, thanks for the love! So glad the Strand ATR is your new favorite.

Comfortable shoes
I already had a pair of Peluva and thought they were the best until I wore a pair of Strand ATR. They feel very comfortable. I love walking barefoot these shoes are closest to being barefoot. I will certainly purchase another pair.
Thanks for the love, Sherma! We’re so glad the Strand ATRs gave you that close-to-barefoot comfort you were looking for. Can’t wait to get you into your next pair!

Love This Shoe
These shoes are one of the most comfortable barefoot shoes I have ever worn. Great for hiking! The only issue for me is I have high volume feet and these are snug and a challenge to get on if you have high volume feet. I do wish I could open them up a bit more to get my foot in easier. Other than that, they are perfect!
