Comfortable and healthy!
This is my first pair of peluvas and I love them. I bought these because I read that bare feet help center the body and improve wight lifting results, but I'm obviously not going to the gym barefoot. Remember to SIZE UP! I ordered my usual size and they were half a size too small. When I called customer service (which was an excellent experience) they told me that they usually recommend sizing up.
Love this, Heather! Thrilled your first pair is working out and that you’re already feeling the benefits. Great tip on sizing up, thanks for sharing your experience!

I absolutely love my Strand Sport Mesh shoes. I have them in both red and black. They fit like a glove and they are so comfortable. I've found the best fit for me is without socks. I used the shoe size app on the website and it measured my foot perfectly.
Not only has my calf pain disappeared (that I was experiencing in over cushioned conventional shoes) my left knee pain and my right hip pain has reduced significantly. My leg workouts are better than ever.
I also have one pair of the Strand ATR, which has been amazing for my outdoor trail walks. I recently purchased the Zen Active Slip-On and the Miami Casual Loafer. I'm looking forward to wearing those with street clothes.
Thank you so much! You've got a new die hard fan!

Wish I had followed user sizing recommendations over the website’s guess from a picture
First, the toe bit is easy to get used to, and the comfort underfoot is great. I ordered the size peluva said to based on a snapshot of my foot on a piece of paper but should have paid attention to all the buters who said size up. I can wear them but it ruins my pedicure 😉 . Super plus was me running up and down a ladder in them without losing feeling in my feet like I do when I do that barefooted. I plan to buy a second pair because I would like to have two pair but the next pair will be larger.
These are great shoes! This company really put in the effort when a manufacturing defect was identified. Will definitely buy from the again because of the excellent customer service.
Love hearing this, Eve! We’re so glad you’re enjoying your Strand Sport Mesh and that our team could turn things around for you.

These are the best shows BY FAR that I have owned. I walk 3-5 miles per day and am already feeling less knee and hip pain. My feet are so much happier. I love the ground contact i feel while wearing them. I will never go back to conventional walking shoes again. Highly recommend. Your feet and body will thank you!

So glad you’re loving them, Lisa! Once you get used to that barefoot feel, regular shoes just can’t compare.

Amazing shoes!
I ordered a size 10 and needed a 10.5. First, the customer service was outstanding. Quick exchange and I got my shoes. I’ve worn Five Fingers for years and this is nice change. Peluva fits like a glove and if you’re someone new to “toe shoes” this shoe is a great one to start with. There is comfort and support throughout. The padding is soft and its improved my walking and those micro muscles! I walk about 60-80 miles a month depending.
*I wore the pad of the shoe down to a hole after 4 months! I reached out wondering my options as I love the shoes but expected more time and was unsure if I should purchase again. PELUVA SENT ME A REPLACEMENT PAIR. Look people I have worked in customer service for years- I did not expect that. I was looking for an option on another shoe they offer or maybe some sort of 20% off. No they went above and beyond, it’s a one time courtesy and I am so grateful. They also informed me about some other styles that have thicker bottoms. I will be choosing one of those options in the future (Strand ATR and Strand Golf).
We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying your shoes and that our support team could help you get the right fit. Thank you for sharing your experience and the kind words, we’re thrilled they’re helping your walks and muscle strength. Can’t wait for you to try Strand ATR or Golf next!

That’s amazing to hear, Amy! We love that they feel natural and comfy right from the start. More colors may be on the way, stay tuned!

Amazing!
I received mine today and what a difference they make! I love having each toe move independently. It takes a bit to figure out how to get each toe where it goes, but it will become easier. I sized up a full size. I am normally a 9 and I took a 10. Don't be afraid to go up in size. I'm telling all my friends and family about these. My new favorite shoe.
So glad to hear they’re already making a difference for you, Susan! Thanks for sharing your sizing tip, it’s super helpful. Enjoy every step in your new favorite pair!

The Most Comfortable Shoes I’ve Ever Worn – I'm Obsessed!
I’ve tried a lot of athletic shoes, and some wide-toe box shoes, but nothing compares to Peluvas. These are hands down the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. They’re perfect for everything: running, boxing, lifting, walking, and just everyday wear.
I even find myself wearing them around the house because they’re that comfortable. The sole is the perfect balance—thick enough to cushion walking on concrete, but still lightweight and flexible so they never feel bulky. I also have to say, they’re surprisingly stylish for a minimalist shoe. I’ve already gotten two other people hooked on them!
I honestly thought it would take me longer to adjust to the toe separation, but I got used to them quickly, and now I don’t even want to wear anything else. Get a size larger than you usually wear. I'm a size 9, and the 9.5 was ok, but the size 10 is perfect.
I initially bought them because I was dealing with foot pain, and I’m thrilled to say that pain is now almost completely gone. If your feet are hurting or you're just looking for the most versatile, comfortable, functional shoe—you have to try Peluvas. Total game changer.
Love this energy! Thanks for the amazing review, Brandi. We’re thrilled you’re obsessed and even more pumped that your foot pain is gone. You nailed it, our goal is all-day comfort, serious support, and head-turning style. Keep spreading the barefoot joy!

Loving these shoes!
I was developing bunions and having major toe cramping almost every night. The toe cramping has been reduced by 95%. My feet really like these shoes. I used to take my shoes off as soon as I walked in the house but I’ve been leaving them on for a while when I walk in the door.
So glad to hear your feet are feeling better, Nancy! It’s awesome that the cramping has eased and you’re finding them so comfortable you keep them on at home.

I LOVE THESE SHOES!
I wanted some Peluvas after hearing about them from Shawn Stevenson on his podcast. As I've gotten older I have started having more foot problems and I realized I could do better for my feet with my shoes. I wear my Peluvas as much as I can. I started slow to get used to them but it didn't take long. They are very comfortable and easy to put on!
Love hearing this, Erin! Starting slow is a smart move and we’re so glad your Peluvas are helping your feet feel better. Thanks for trusting us with your foot health!

So comfortable!
It took me a minute to get the right size. Love these shoes. I went up a full size and a half from what Peluva recommended. My feet feel so relaxed. Which, makes my body relax. I have low arches and was concerned, but these feel fantastic. Have history of knee pain, but feel no pain in these shoes. So thrilled. Get some!!
So glad you found the right size, Amber! It’s amazing to hear how much relief you’re getting, especially with low arches and knee pain. Enjoy every step!

Happy Customer
I really like these shoes. I didn't think they would work for my feet because I have very small toes that don't lay flat and my feet are wide. It takes me a minute to get my feet into them because I have to work with my toes to go in the right slots. They are so comfortable and I have worn them with and without socks. I recommend thin socks with these. The quarter crew unisex socks were too thick for me to wear with these shoes. I sized up to a 7.5. My regular shoe size is a 6.5. I regularly do yoga and weight lifting without shoes on so maybe my feet were well prepared for these because I don't feel like I had a break in period - my feet have been happy since the first wear.
Thanks for sharing, Cherilyn! It’s great to hear how well your feet adapted and that you’re loving the comfort. Totally agree, thin socks make a big difference with a snug fit like this.
Thanks for sharing, Amirah! We’re so glad the shoes are helping with your knee pain. And yes, great tip on sizing up, especially for a better fit with our models that tend to run small.

1st Pair Black Womens Sport Mesh
I like the look of the shoe. I have only worn at home so far. I am having a little discomfort on right heel and on a couple of toes. I usually wear a 6 1/2 but have worn a 7 in some tennis shoes. I ordered a 71/2. I have read that they will stretch a little and hoping by continuing to wear them they will become more comfortable.
