I love the way they feel while taking a walk or going shopping. They absolutely conform to the shape and change of form to your feet. The toes are perfect for that crouch to happen a little easier. I have full control over my walking pattern and will definitely need more!
I walk 5 miles one way to work even in snowy lake tahoe and i must say these really are legit. I was always using barefoot footwear, mainly my Xero D-trail sandals but yea lol i wanted to try these and now i can't go back. I respect the cushion part since im walking on concrete.
Thanks Peluva.
Thanks! So glad you find them comfortable, stylish, and lightweight. Appreciate your review.

My Husband Thanks Me Twice Per Day For His Christmas Present!
Our household has been with Mark Sisson’s philosophy, books, newsletter and products from the beginning. I’ve met him twice in OKC and listen to him often. We tried an earlier, similar toe shoe and my husband was a big fan. He’s been a wound care and ER physician for 43 years and at 6’5 his feet can hurt! I saw the ads for these shoes and took a leap of faith. Score!! He was delighted! He wore them on Christmas and noticed one of the laces was not properly attached, so he packed them up to exchange them. So easy! They were picked up from our porch and replaced there within three days, and we live out in the middle of nowhere! Very typical of all our interactions with Mark Sisson and his companies. Top quality and professional service service every time. Now it’s my turn…..
Thanks again, Janice. What a lovely gift story! We’re happy the shoes delivered comfort and that the exchange was easy.

Cant remember what got me to try these shoes, but I'm in love
So freaking comfortable and natural feeling, and they have enough material on the bottom that you don't feel every little detail. I feel like Im able to walk much more intentionally with these shoes. I ordered the boot ones so I can try those next, because I love these ones so much I want to replace all of my shoes for these! Also, I noticed them forming to my feet within the first couple days of use.
amazing shoes do not want to wear anything else!! I have really wide feet especially my left foot and these are the only shoes that truly fit my foot. Go up half a size on these and you should be good. Will be ordering more pairs!!
Thanks, Erik! Great to hear these fit your wide feet and feel amazing. Enjoy your pairs and future orders!

Greatest Support Ever
Really enjoying my Peluva barefoot shoes. I have 3 pair now; however, i am missing a white pair. That's my next purchase. Having 4 pair of Peluva shoes should let you know how much I am enjoying them.
Thanks again, Christopher! Love that you enjoy comfort and quality enough to collect multiple pairs.

Life changing. Only regret is not buying Peluvas earlier. TRULY feel a foot to mind connection with these. Only CON: ALL my conventional sneakers are not ever getting worn again (Nike). I tryed the slip ons first then Immediately bought this pair and instantly loved them. PELUVA- if you know, Then you KNOW!

I workout outside at my home gym and I prefer doing squats barefoot. Since it’s cold out, these shoes keep my feet warm and protected from the cold. Natural foot movement, good flexibility. And great to run around outside in the yard to help strengthen foot muscles.
Short and sweet - thanks, Charles! Great to hear you’re finding them comfortable.

Pleasantly Surprised
I love my new connection to the ground. My balance has improved when I do my strength training workouts. I walked a few miles on the treadmill and prefer the Peluvas over my running shoes. It truly engages your muscles differently.
Fantastic to hear, Shaylon. That kind of muscle engagement and balance improvement is exactly what we love to hear about.

Great shoes!
My husband loves these shoes! I bought him a pair for Christmas and he wears them everyday. I will buy him another pair. He says that they are great support.
Thanks, Kyle. We’re glad you’re enjoying the feel of going barefoot while still getting the structure you need. Hopefully, one day your workplace catches up.

Next step up from barefoot shoes
I've been wearing barefoot shoes like Merrill, Vivo, and Xero for the last several years. I remember when I first made the switch it was a noticeable "wow factor". All my knee pains vanished. After a run I would feel the muscles in my feet and calves sore, as opposed to just my leg muscles. Definitely strengthened my feet and gave me a good base for my level of fitness, but they didn't do much in terms of individual toe mobility. My feet got stronger but not much more flexible, and I was still prone to foot cramps when attempting to stretch.
So I decided to make the jump and give Peluvas a shot and honestly it felt similar to the jump from "normie" shoes to barefoot shoes. Definitely got that wow factor again. 2 weeks of wearing them and I already feel myself using each of my individual toes for balancing, walking, running, climbing. I'll still sometimes wear my Xeros and I even feel myself walking differently in those now after Peluvas, using all of my toes and feeling more grounded with each step. It was definitely a deliberate effort at first, thinking about using all my toes, but over time it's becoming subconscious. Idk how to describe it, I guess it makes walking feel primal and natural for when you need to wear shoes, and optimizes your barefoot experience.
In terms of sizing I just measured my foot very tightly with no margin, then sized up 1 from there. worked for me
Thanks, David. Your experience and thoughtful description of toe mobility and natural movement is amazing to read. Glad the shoes are strengthening your feet and supporting your mobility.

These shoes are so comfortable.
I don't leave the house without them except for when it's raining or using my black pair for work.
Thanks, Rudy! Happy to hear you love them and that they’re working well for you on walks.

Peluva Strand Sport Mesh shoes are fantastic!!!
These are my first pair of Peluva shoes, and I am very happy with them. I ordered a half size larger than my normal shoe size. They fit great when I wasn’t wearing socks. With sock, they were a little too tight for me. With Peluva’s great return policy, I was able to exchange them for a full size larger than my normal shoe size.
I find that I prefer the slightly thicker 9mm sole of Peluva’s over the 3mm soles of my Vibrams for daily wear. Also, Peluva shoes have a more stylish look than the Vibrams, making them better for everyday day wear under all activities, not just sports.
I liked the shoes so much that I ordered 4 more pairs (Napa Dress Hybrid, Court Ad-In, Zen Active Slip-On, and Miami Casual Loafer. Can’t wait for them to arrive.
Thanks for the thoughtful review, Nilesh. Great to hear you found the right size and appreciate the differences in sole thickness and style. Exciting that you ordered more pairs.
