Love these shoes
It is amazing how much a pair of shoes can change your life. No more foot pain! I tell everyone to try a pair of them. You won’t be disappointed. The most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. Loved them!!
Thanks so much, Patti! We're thrilled to hear your Peluvas have made such a difference. Really appreciate you spreading the word and your kind support!

Great shoe. Very well made. The most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever owned. I feel like I’m lifting heavier weights in the gym. Just great.
Thanks for the great feedback, Terry! We're so glad to hear the Strand Lightweight Trainer is your most comfortable pair yet. We'll pass your request for solid color options like black or red along to our team!

Great shoes!
The first pair I ordered were too small (this was on me, as I didn't trust the size guide). I usually take a 7-7.5, and ended up needing an 8.5. Return was a snap, and new ones feel great...the hot pink really pops!
Thanks, Julie! We're glad the exchange was easy and that the new size fits perfectly.

Comfy
These are my first pair of Peluvas and im impressed with how comfy they are. Im typically a 10 but had to go up one size to an 11 and they fit me just right. My friend who also typically wears a 10 would've likely been more comfortable in a 12. The Customer service agent was awesome in getting exchanges taken care of and my questions answered to get the right fit. I started with the ATR but that one wasn't super comfortable on my middle toes. This pair is great. I have PTTD and can deal with Plantar Fasciitis and this i think helps a bit with the Plantar Fasciitis since my feet are protected from the ground but can still move good. Go with whatever works for you and definitely take a gander at the instruction on adjusting to wearing as your feet will get tired quick when adjusting. I ordered toe socks off of amazon since the peluva ones were too long for my stumpy toes but the shoes are also comfortable barefoot. Little scratchy but that wears off.
Thanks for the thoughtful review, Ariel! We're so glad the Strand Lightweight Trainers are working well for you and that our team was able to help you find the right fit. It's great to hear they're providing some relief for your plantar fasciitis. We truly appreciate your insight and support!

Great
I have been wearing them for a few weeks, I love them. There was no break in time, they felt good right away. It did take me about 5 minutes per foot to get them on the first time, but no problem now.
I normally wear 7½ shoes, I bought size 8, they are snug but okay.
Thanks for sharing, Tina! We’re so happy to hear the Strand Lightweight Trainer felt good right from the start. It can definitely take a little practice at first getting them on, but it sounds like you’ve got it down now. Appreciate your feedback and support!

Women Lightweight Trainer
I am really enjoying my new shoes. I am so pleased with the customer service that I received. After ordering the shoe size that the Peluva site suggested, they ended up too big. I asked to switch sizes to the next size down, and was sent a printable return label. I received the new shoes, and they fit perfectly. They are so comfortable, and are making my feet healthy again. I want to purchase another pair soon. Thank you, Peluva!
Thanks so much for sharing, Lisa! We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving your Strand Lightweight Trainers and that your exchange experience was smooth. It’s wonderful to know they’re helping with your foot health too. We can't wait to have you back for your next pair!

Love, love, love these shoes!
I walk 5 miles a day come hell or high water and I’ve all but lost my toes. These are a godsend and I really like that it feels like I’m walking barefoot. Grateful. I usually wear an 8 1/2 and the 9 is perfect.
Love hearing this, Dana! We're so happy the Strand Lightweight Trainer is making your daily walks even better. Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Peluva!

Unbelievably comfortable
So comfy, I’m wearing them all day instead just in the gym. It takes more time to put them on because my toes don’t naturally go where they’re supposed to, but no biggie. Definitely head-turners, lol.
Thanks for sharing, Cynthia! We are thrilled to hear the Strand Lightweight Trainer is so comfortable for you. It definitely takes a little practice getting the toes in place, but sounds like you’re getting the hang of it. We love that they’re turning heads too!

Toes right where they oughta be
I’m very pleased with my Peluva Strands❤️. I hadn’t taken the plunge and saw what all the chatter was about cause I thought years of wearing toe socks already and the top brand name super cushioned sole sneakers was the perfect combination. But boy was I wrong ! I wish I’d found these many sneakers ago. With an old lower back injury I was really having difficulty with workouts that weren’t very low impact. Now I’m back enjoying walking as close as nature intended. And it feels real good. I didn’t have any trouble with getting the right size using the website size feature and customer service was on great. I didn’t have these a week before I was placing another order for a different color and style. I think not only are they comfortable they’re so cute. Keep making more of these once we know you gotta have them.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Keisha! We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re loving your Peluvas and that they’re helping you get back to walking naturally and comfortably. It means a lot to know our sizing tool and customer service helped make everything smooth for you too. We can’t wait for you to try more styles and colors, and we’ll definitely keep them coming!

Most Comfortable Shoes in the Rainforest!
I’m so thrilled to have worn my Strand Lightweight shoes during our hike up the trails in the Rainforest on St Lucia. Usually by the end of a hike like that, my knees and feet would be killing me. Not this time, and I had so many of the islander’s, and other cruisers wanting more information on them!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Caralyn! We’re so happy the Strand Lightweight Trainers kept you comfortable on your rainforest hike. Love hearing they sparked so much interest too!

Better than I expected thought!
Although I’m still not comfortable wearing in public due to the “toes”, I must say, they have been incredible to wear at my home gym and around the house. Take it slow, as it works different muscles in your feet and legs. If you wear for too long right away, your muscles will feel extra tired. ! I can already see and feel a positive difference with my feet!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Dena! We’re glad to hear the Strand Lightweight Trainer is already making a positive difference for you. It’s smart to take it slow as your muscles adapt, and who knows, you might feel confident enough to rock them outside soon too!

Excited to use my new shoes
It’s taking some breaking in but I can tell these will be great. I want to help my feet get stronger
Thanks for sharing, Maria! We’re excited for you too. It’s normal for Peluvas to take a little time to adjust, but it sounds like you’re off to a great start. Wishing you continued progress and stronger feet ahead!

Amazing shoes!
I bought these trying to find a comfortable shoe for my weird feet. I usually wear barefoot zero drop shoes with some success, but lately those were starting to hurt me. From the very first moment of putting these shoes on I was in heaven. I wore them for a week and couldn’t get over how great my feet felt (first time in years). I turned around and bought another pair as fast as I could (just in case y’all stopped making them. lol). I’m already looking at getting another pair and I haven’t even received my second pair yet. Can’t recommend these enough! Thank you Peluva!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Sabrina! We're thrilled to hear the Strand Lightweight Trainer brought you immediate comfort and relief. It means a lot to know they're making such a difference for you. We can't wait for you to enjoy your second pair too!

My first pair of "toe" shoes
They are very comfortable. I'm still learning tricks on how to put them on.
Thanks for sharing, Rose! We're glad to hear your first pair of toe shoes are feeling comfortable. It definitely takes a little practice at first. Guiding each toe in and wearing toe socks can help make it easier. Enjoy your new Peluvas!

Women's Lightweight Trainer
A little difficult at first to get the socks and shoes on but once on... very comfortable. I've worn them around the house the past few days just getting used to them. Looking forward increasing my time in them but so far so good!
Thanks for sharing, Susan! The Strand Lightweight Trainer can take a little getting used to, but we’re glad they’re feeling comfortable so far. Enjoy the journey!

Best sneaker ever!
First time trying 5 toed shoes and they are my all time favorite shoe ever! I’ve been wearing them in the house and for indoor workouts, including weight lifting, yoga and re-bounding. I have a pretty decent bunion on one foot and these shoes work great and are so comfortable. Going to buy another pair to have as my outdoor shoes. I wasn’t sure on size so I used the online sizer offered on the website and it gave me a perfect fit!
That’s wonderful to hear, Heidi! We’re so glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer has become your favorite and is working well for your workouts and foot comfort. Thanks for trusting Peluva!

Obsessed
I’m obsessed!!!! I workout a lot and I’m so grateful to find shoes that work great with me while I exercise. These shoes are wonderful for every activity. My husband surprised me with these and I’m was so excited!!! The hype is real. Very comfortable, breathable and adds some spice to your workout attire with the unique look.
You guys did your big one with these shoes.
Love hearing this, Raquel! We're so glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer is a perfect match for your workouts and that you're loving the style and comfort. Appreciate your support!

So comfortable!
These shoes fit like a glove and are so lightweight and comfortable! I have been wearing minimalist shoes for a while now, so my toes slid right in place. They have the perfect amount of cushion for me to still have ground feel while not being bruised by the sharp gravel in my driveway. The digital picture sizing tool worked well to confirm the right size to start. My teens are embarrassed by their mom wearing toe shoes, but I love them!
Thanks for sharing, Myra! We're so happy the Strand Lightweight Trainer is giving you the perfect balance of cushion and ground feel. And don’t worry about the teens, you’re leading the way in foot health!

Total Game Changer
Not a fan of how toe shoes look, but I absolutely love the way these feel on my feet. The type of fabric used is durable yet breathable and they feel like you’re wearing comfortable socks. They are light weight and don’t rub between your toes. My feet don’t hurt after walking miles outside in them and I even use them when I’m on the elliptical machine, treadmill and when doing squats on leg day which has helped my balance tremendously on my one legged squats. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to traditional tennis shoes again for my workouts.
Thanks for the incredible feedback, Christina! We’re so glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer has made such a difference in your workouts and comfort. It’s awesome to hear how they’re supporting your balance and performance, exactly what they're designed for!

Love your enthusiasm, Christine! So glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer is such a great fit for every part of your day. We’re honored to be part of your routine. Thanks for being such a loyal supporter!

Love my new trainers. Great for gym use as well as my daily walks. Hips feeling much better after ditching cushy shoes.
Great to hear, Karen! We're so glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer is helping with your daily walks and gym time, and even better that your hips are feeling the difference!

Perfection
These are definitely not my cutest shoes but they are hands down the most comfortable. I have not had any heel pain or arch pain since I started wearing them. I’m slowly getting brave enough to wear them outside of my neighborhood ! Getting toe socks was something I didn’t think about when I ordered them but they are a must have for sweaty feet.
Thanks for the honest and helpful feedback, Karen! We’re so glad the Strand Lightweight Trainer is easing your heel and arch pain. And yes, toe socks definitely make a big difference, especially for all-day comfort!
