Feet feel healthy

I do get a lot of comments about the way the shoes look but I don’t care because they feel great. I feel productive wearing them. I like the mesh because they breath so well

Great shoes

I recommend these over Hoka's anyday. I would like to try the socks though. I bought two pair recently but no socks came with them.

Thanks, Brian. Glad you prefer these over your Hoka shoes and hope you find socks that match your needs.

Uncomfortable at first but give it time

When I first put them on I thought I had purchased a size too small. Everything I read on the site said they are supposed to fit “like a glove.” After about three days, they felt good. I don’t know if it’s placebo effect or not, my feet and ankles feel more stable just after a week.

Definitely Eases the Transition

I am new to the Pleura brand but always feel better wearing socks with shoes. Initially they were a bit tricky getting around each toe but I think it is actually very good for my toe movement to separate them a bit, both in the socks and the shoes.They definitely add to the comfort level of the shoes and make the adjustment from traditional tennis shoes much better.

A beginner farefoot shoe.

pretty good. I'm not gonna lie a fair amount of people stare at my feet now. A lot thicker than I thought It'd be. not too much tho. There was no sore feet while getting used to it like some people said. Which is a plus. But I don't know how long the souls will last. I got them like a week or 2 ago, the spot for your heel were the peluva symbol is on the soul, is already looking a little damage. It's not super bad, it's just usually takes longer with other shoes I've had. overall very comfortable.

12 Month Review

Twelve months in with my Strands. Absolutely the best shoes I've ever worn in my life. The only complaint I have is with durability. As in seen in the photo, I've completely worn through the insole all the way to the outer rubber. Granted, I wear this pair five days a week, eight hours a day, which in and of itself is a testament to their quality of performance. I would ideally prefer not to buy a new pair every year, but I absolutely will if I have to. I'm not exaggerating when I say they have changed my life for the better. Constant, daily foot pain disappeared as soon as I stared using them. Might try out the Strand ATR next to see how they compare.

As comfortable as advertised

The fit is exactly as I expected from the size of my regular shoes. The comfort is excellent even before an adjustment period. The traction is just right. The 'laces' are both as tight and as flexible as needed to keep the shoes snug at all times. I use these as my everyday shoes in a walking-heavy city and haven't suffered any of the foot fatigue I used to attribute to walking too much when in reality it was my old shoes causing it (pretty nice ones too, in one of the major brands regaled for their comfort). Highly recommend for anyone on the fence about minimalist shoes.

Returning again. I must have weird shape feet because I went from a ten and a half to an eleven and they still felt weird.And I used five toe socks religiously. Not worth it.In my opinion, barefoot has a better cheaper option And just get a steppers inserts. I'll be returning this order as well. They've been very good with returns.

No Worries

I do not have to worry about how my ankles and knees these shoes handle my step! My hips are happy as well! Definitely comfortable for my toe box and arch support more than other barefoot shoes I have tried! My Myoskeletal Alignment clients know I'm excited for my comfort and function. They also love the education during their treatments !!! Personally I want some elegant dress shoes too!

Ok for no show socks. Much too large/stretchy for best comfort. I have found less expensive and more effective alternatives (V-Well on Amazon)

Uncomplicated

I have had no problems ordering or returning shoes. Just trying to find my size in the different styles? I've been wearing these 5finger barefoot shoes for a few decades now! In the beginning I had to buy them from overseas. Thank you for being competent company!!!
