Soft & comfy

They wrap each toe in its own individual cushion.

I wear a 10.5 in my everyday shoes. I had to order the palavas in 11.5

Very happy so far. I have fasciitis in my left foot in 2 weeks the peluvas i have already made a significant difference in the pain reduction in my left foot. I have been dealing with pain in my left foot for a year and a half now with no resolve. The peluvas were a last effort before getting a cortisone shot. If my recovery continues I may be able to fully heal my left foot by just changing to a better shoe. Very happy so far. Thank you Peluva

That’s an incredible turnaround, Brian. So glad the shoes are helping relieve your plantar fasciitis. Wishing you a full recovery and continued comfort!

Impressed and satisfied

I was hesitant at first because I didn't have toe socks yet. Barefoot is nice, but after wearing them for a longer hike I got blisters on the top of my feet where the laces/tongue rub. Once I had the right socks, they felt so much better. I went to a rockier trail and found that the tread would get lots of rocks stuck, which might happen with other shoes but I could feel each place one was stuck - this is not a complaint, just something to be aware of. I would recommend this brand and shoe for anyone looking to understand their gait and habits more, while enjoying a new love for hiking with my 'bare feet'.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the shoes, Kyle. Great call on switching to toe socks. That added protection makes a big difference. If any part of the fit or tread gives you trouble going forward, feel free to reach out to support.

Best shoes EVER!!

I am 64 years old and before I bought these shoes, my feet were done for the day by about 3 o’clock in the afternoon I could not stand on my feet any longer. Now I am good for the entire day no matter what’s on the agenda hiking climbing you name it I can do it now!

Awesome to hear, Chrystalin! Glad they’re adding comfort to your walks.

Love them…perfect workout shoe!!!

I’ve been a fan of the 5-Finger shoes in the past but they were a little too minimal. These Peluva’s are the right balance allowing your toes to spread will also providing a little protection with low drop. I’ve used them while working out and around the neighborhood and they’ve been great and seem like they will hold up. Highly recommend!

Best training shoes I’ve ever had! I’m a tactical fitness trainer for military, law enforcement, and first responders. For indoor use, nothing beats these shoes! Great product!

Almost pain free after only 2 months

Glute/hip/low back pain on right side for the past 2 years is almost gone. After work (mailman) it usually flares up to 6/10 , now maybe 1/10 if at all! Thanks peluva!

Nice fit

So far they fit perfectly and I am breaking them in and getting use to them. I did have to exchange for a half size up from my regular shoe size.

Love these.

I loved my last pair of Peluva Strand. I wore them to play pickleball. The soles wore down after 6 months and I realized they probably aren’t made for pickleball. Now I wear them as street shoes. They are really, really comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Susan F.· November 6, 2025

Response from Peluva

Thanks for the honest feedback, Susan! Great to hear they’re still in rotation as comfy street shoes.

Purchased for my 16 yr old daughter for the gym

She absolutely loves them, she feels like she has more power when lifting weights, running she says she feels much lighter on her feet, and loves the flexibility of toes.

Love that your daughter’s feeling stronger and lighter in them! Thanks for sharing her experience.

My shoes

I love all 3 pairs I have. I will continue to wear them more than other shoes. However I would like you to consider the materials you use for shoes and socks. Also any plans for ones that are more geared to winter and harsh conditions?

Worth it

I appreciated them sending me the next size before I had sent the return in. That was very nice.

Ah, damn... I like toe- shoes

Listen, if you are anything at all like me... You've probably thought to yourself- toe shoes? Toe-socks? Not for me... But at 59 years of age, I grew a bit tired at the lack of mobility my feet/ toes have. While my fingers can shuffle, paint, weave, sculpt... My toes can basically just open and close... I don't like that. So now I'm experimenting trying to give my toes more wiggle- room. Like any journey- it starts someplace, and Peluva was a very fine starting line.

Barefoot Feel

I really like these shoes. They felt weird at first. I am used to them now. I enjoy wearing them during workouts, walking, and errand runs. I am very satisfied with the knowledge that I am taking care of my feet when I wear these. When I wear regular shoes at work, I just don't like that my toes are scrunched together. I even tell myself that it will be a few hours before I get home and I will wear my Peluvas. I have a pair of Strands and they are perfect. Just enough shoe so that my feet are protected, but I really feel that I am barefoot when I am wearing them. I wear a size 9 and I ordered the recommended 1/2 size up. The fit was perfect. I will buy the slip-on style next.

Mac V.· November 5, 2025

Response from Peluva

Love hearing that, Mac! It’s awesome that your Peluvas have become your go-to for comfort and support. The slip-ons will be a great next step.

Verified Buyer

So far, so great

I am very pleasantly surprised how much I really enjoy these shoes. I have had other “toe” shoes in the past (Fila) which I loved but were nowhere as comfortable and natural feeling as these shoes. There was a learning curve getting my toes to cooperate but using my toe socks made a huge difference. I am already considering a second pair so I am not wearing the same blue shoes everyday.
