I wear a 2E width & have bunions so typical wide width athletic shoes squeezed my toes together in the toe box. I'd been curious about minimalist shoes and after a lot of research I decided to try Peluva. I no longer have foot pain, my squat depth is improved at the gym, and the shoes are great quality. I like them so much that I bought two more pairs. 👣
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerFirst this is my second pair of Peluva shoes which BOTH are now more comfortable than standard shoes. I usually wear a 6.5 women's standard shoe. My Peluva lite trainers are an 8. My other pair are the Miami casual Peluva shoes in a 7.5. I was comfortable in my Miami loafers but the trainer's more flexible outer fabric is way more comfortable. Getting that half size more allowed for my toe flexions both up and down to be unrestricted. It could be the combo of the half size AND the fabric. I wish there were more BOLD colors rather than soft pastels. My 7 month old Miami loafers are going strong (given the standard price, I want them to) so I'm sure these trainers will be just as durable. The anniversary sale really motivated me to jump on getting another pair sooner than I would have otherwise. New bold colors I would buy a well. Highly recommend this entire brand, not just this style. I discovered these shoes on IG movementbydavid if there is a way to give commission retroactively.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerAfter watching Chalene Johnson’s YouTube episode about walking/workout shoes and her new favs Peluvas, I ordered a pair. It took several tries to get the right fit. I wear a shoe size 7, so ordered a 7-1/2 the first time. Had to exchange them for an 8. Received them and found that the big toe was still too snug though the rest of the shoe felt perfect. SO, I exchanged those for an 8-1/2 . The morning after receiving them, I put them on, and decided I was never taking them off! I may even sleep in them I thought. Here is the thing , I first put them on without socks and found that the big toe did not have as much room at the tip as the rest of the toes, but I think a larger size would cause the rest of the shoe to be too loose. The back of the shoe (the Achilles heel area) felt a bit too high up and was rubbing that area which was quite uncomfortable. However, I was able to remedy that problem easily with socks. Here is what I did: I had previously ordered one pair of the Peluva toe socks which are thin. SO (and this idea came from Chalene), I put one toe sock on then put a regular sock over it, figured out where I thought I should cut, removed the regular sock then cut that top area off and put them back on over the toe socks. It is working perfectly. Very snug and soft. I will try to post a pic here. I then walked outside for a couple thousand steps and they felt great. It could be my imagination, but I could swear my posture was better🤷♀️. So, bottom line is, I would definitely suggest at least 1-1/2 sizes larger than your normal shoe size. I’ve walked everyday since I received them a couple wks ago. I have less ankle and knee pain with this shoe and I expect that will continue to improve. I feel stronger when walking in them. Easier to push off and feel more balanced. I’m up to 10-11,000 steps per day and feel my feet ankles and legs getting stronger. I highly recommend them. Be patient determining the right size and get plenty toe socks.! Enjoy!
I absolutely love them. They are so comfortable and my balance is so much better.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerFit me true to size.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI absolutely love these runners.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI was very skeptical about buying these shoes. After wearing them now for a week, I can say they are very comfortable and I'm pleased. I am only using them around the house and for errands and am enjoying a greater feel for the floor and ground. I remain skeptical about relying on them as sturdy and safe shoes for long weighted-vest-walks, running, hiking or for working out. I think I still prefer a more supportive shoe for those activities. I have some foot deformities - bunions and pinky toes that cross over the 4th toe. I am unable to splay my toes out and apart. That said, I appreciate the individual toe slots with these shoes and my toes feel happy. I highly suggest using their sizing system before selecting your purchase. I wear a women's size 7 - 7.5 but measured a size 8.5 for these. I indeed bought the 8.5 and they are perfect for me. I bought a size small for the socks which are also perfect for me. Overall, I am happy and recommend these shoes. As a personal choice, I'm just not ready to wear them when I need real shoe support for strenuous activities.

Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerThese shoes were great, right out of the box. A little challenging to get my toes in the right places, but it gets easier each time I put them on.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI am very pleased with the fit and comfort of my new shoes. I wanted to improve the alignment of my foot bones and ease joint pain due to a bunion. Discomfort was reduced while exercising on my first wear! My husband saw my excitement and immediately order himself a pair.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerAbsolutely love them! I can feel the muscles working. I've only been wearing them for a few days now. They're worth the price.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI love them!

Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI started using toe shoes in 2011 during my exercise to help fix my plantar fasciitis. The other brand I used often hurt my second toe but since trying Peluva, I’m definitely switching to this brand of shoe. They look fantastic and feel so secure on my feet without hurting toes. I also reached out to customer service and they were extremely helpful! I’m so thrilled with this purchase
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI have significant bunions and thought these may help and they do! Keeping my great toe from curling over my other toes decreases my foot pain. The barefoot feel has helped decrease my low back pain. Took a little time to get use to as my foot cramped up the first few times I wore them but now they are so much healthier. Without the shoe my toes do what they do BUT they stay straight for longer periods of time. Hoping I can divert bunion surgery! Thanks Peliva. Have 2 pair and wont wear any other shoe!!!
I’m super excited to keep using my Peluva, as I work on better foot alignment. I have struggled the last five years with bunion pain. Since I’ve started working on my toe alignment, I have seen great results. The purchase of my Peluvas is another testament to how we can empower ourselves to be stronger! I have enjoyed using them so far, I did the online measurement of my feet and my size was perfect. They feel great and my feet are very happy! Thanks Peluva!
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerThese shoes have been awesome! I have been dabbling in minimalist shoes for several years . I can say that these required no transition or breaking in period. I was able to jump right into my normal walking habit with them. My feet, which are somewhat troubled, feel great in these shoes and have from day 1. I wear them with toe socks and they work great. I did have to send them back and get a bigger size. Absolutely recommend going up a 1/2 size from your normal size. I have trouble with my Achilles tendons on both sides and usually walk funny for an hour or so after a walk because they are so tender. With these, I still have some tenderness after walks but it is WAY less than with any other shoe I have tried in the last two years.
Very comfortable and supports natural movement of the foot while walking.

Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI received my shoes a few days ago and I've walked about 10 miles in them. So far I like them; they feel good and are easy to put on. I wondered if the shoes would feel weird on my toes, but they are surprisingly comfortable. I didn't purchase socks to wear with them so time will tell if they'll start smelling (I hope not).
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerAt first, it felt really strange to fit into these shoes—I even lost track of my toes! But day by day, they became easier to wear. I'm still breaking them in at home and haven’t worn them outside yet, but so far, they feel very comfortable. I originally ordered half a size up (7.5 instead of my usual 7), but they were still too tight. I ended up exchanging them for a full size up (8), and that fit perfectly! If you're considering these shoes, I’d recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI love these shoes...PLEASE make some with a wide toe box without individual toes!!!
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerI started wearing Peluvas about 3 weeks ago. They are great. I feel like waking more and I don’t want to wear other shoes. I am a teacher and walk several miles a day at work. I start the day by wearing them at the gym.
