The BEST

These have been a game changer for me in the gym especially on a leg day. I feel so grounded in a way I never felt before. The funny looks I get in the gym are classic, but it’s so worth it. Even convinced a friend to buy a pair. Looking foward to buying the outdoor ones! Definitely size up, as I should’ve listened to the recommendations on that. Nonetheless, I am satisfied!

Second pair of Sport Mesh and I will continue to buy more!

I've been wearing my first pair of Peluva Sport Mesh for 5 months and love how my foot and toes feel so connected to the ground. I have a hard time wearing non-barefoot shoes so I bought the black/black as my "dress" shoe since Peluva doesn't make a black leather shoe for women - hint! hint! I bought my first pair at the 2025 Barefoot Shoe Expo in Denver, but purchased this pair online. I did notice with this pair and a Strand ATR that I bought online that the 2nd toe on the left foot doesn't lay flat on top (it's kind of wrinkly) so I'm wondering if they have a quality control issue. It doesn't affect functionality, just a little bit of aesthetics. Will definitely be buying more of the Strand Sport Mesh.

Amazing to hear you’re so connected to the ground in your Peluvas. Thanks for the heads-up on the toe detail, we’ll pass that along. And noted on the black leather shoe for women!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Strand Sport Mesh!

I've been wearing toe spacers in a brand of barefoot shoes and stumbled upon Peluva at the 2025 Barefoot Expo in Denver. It took me a good five minutes and some sweat to figure out how to get the shoes on because 1-it was my first time and 2-I have a broken toe on each foot (probably didn't help the process). Once I got them on ... WOW! Loved how my foot and toes felt so connected to the ground. I wear them without socks and ended up getting an 8.5. In a Nike running sneaker I wear a 9. Traction is also great - I've worn them on a wet pool deck and didn't slip at all. I wear these constantly and get so many compliments on both the shoe and the color (red). Will definitely buy these again in the same color and maybe another color as well.

Easy to work with returns. Original products. I would definitely like to be a guinea pig for your leather/winter type shoes when available.

OK this i LOOOOOOOOVE

I am full time year round "barefoot", but wanted something with a little coverage for the cold months. I tried the all terrain socks by another company, and they are true barefoot, but not enough between my foot an the ground when temps are below 40 - the cold made my feet ache. So I needed bare foot with a little sole. These slip on easily, super comfy....if you are a true zero drop dedicated person, the soles on these are a little thick to be true zero drop, I'd call them low drop, but not zero - BUT they DO have enough thickness that my feet arent getting cold. So I am calling it a win, and like i said, VERY comfy. They fit exactly right, I did the phone and paper sizing method, that is on the web site. I wear these for everything from gym, to grocery store.

Love this, Debi. So glad you found a comfy cold-weather option that still gives that barefoot feel. Great insight on the sole thickness too!

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.

Strand ATR

I’ve been in minimal shoes for almost 3 years now and have found that even “wide toe box” don’t seem to be wide enough anymore. I’ve been wearing Peluva’s for 3 weeks now and I am extremely happy with how my feet feel! I did have to go 1/2 size up in order to wear socks comfortably.

Comfortable from the get-go! I've been using wide toe box shoes for a while now so the transition was easy. I went up a half side from 11.5 to 12 and they fit perfect. Thanks , guys!

I love these sneakers. They are the best pair of sneakers I have ever purchased. They totally keep your feet mechanically correct which is very crucial for lifting weights to minimize injury.

They are great

I purchased them mainly for walking my dog in the neighborhood. Once I got adjusted to wearing them, as it does feel different than other shoes. I started wearing them more often , when going to the gym, out with family and to work. The view from the side looks like any other shoes so many don't notice them. They are comfy and are a great start pair for me.

Customer Service is A+

I had to return a pair as they were a little small, they were on it. Had the new ones in 3 days. Great company that stands behind their products. Wish they had a water proof golf shoe, I have the regular pair but they get wet when the grass has dew on it. But still love them!!!
