The change is awesome!

My ATRs have caused some great changes in my posture, strengthen my feet and stopped the pain in them. They Helped alleviate my knee pain, and I notice my gate is stronger.

These are my favorite shoes now. Takes a little bit of practice, putting them on, but you'll slowly get the hang of it more and more. I have been wearing barefoot shoes for several years now. And the toes being separated in these gives it even more of a natural field to your foot mobility, and after several years of wearing very minimal barefoot shoes, I started to realize walking on concrete all the time was hurting my back. That's when I heard about how it's important to have some cushion if you're not just walking on earth. When I first put these on, they instantly made my back feel much better. I still feel like there's plenty of mobility, but the cushion protects my feet against the concrete They're so comfortable that I don't want to take them off.

Response from Peluva

David, this is an incredible review. We’re especially glad the added cushion helped your back on concrete while still keeping the mobility and toe freedom you want. And yes, getting them on really does get easier with practice. Thanks for sharing all that detail.

I love these shoes. They are comfortable to walk around in. The ATR have great traction. I haent tested them at my CrossFit gym or on rope climbs yet. but so far they are promising

Excellent Everyday Use

About two months in with this pair and they are holding up great. The outsole grip is FANTASTIC. My fist pair were the Strand Lightweight Trainers. Compared to those, the ATR are run a bit larger because the material is thinner, but they are much more breathable. Something to keep in mind for first-time buyers. I use the ATR five days a week, 9 hours a day, and they perform excellently. I recently took them on a trip to Costa Rica and they were great for hiking and trail running. Instead of a traditional laces, they have those sliding clips. I'm curious to see how they hold up in the long run. My experience with them on other shoes is that over time they are unable to remain tight. If that happens here, though, I'll just replace them with regular laces. Overall, they are comfortable, durable, and look great.

Amazing!

I have had knee issues for years, in fact I've had 7 knee surgeries. I didn't realize just how much traditional athletic shoes were contributing to my knee pain. Within a few weeks of wearing my Peluva's every day, my knee pain is almost completely gone. I love these shoes! I recommend them to everyone who asks about them, and a lot of people ask!

James, after seven knee surgeries, that kind of relief is incredible to hear. We are so grateful you shared that. It is amazing what proper foot positioning can do up the chain.

Rehab Journey

Medically retired early after of years of service due to mobility and sensitivity problems in back and legs due to several failed back surgeries. I have been working on my rehab for many years since my honorable discharge. Looking forward to tKing my journey in a new direction to increase mobility and performance in my lower extremities as well as pain reduction. First few days have been great. Exhausting for sure changing the parameters that my feet have come accustomed to after 40 years of poor shoes. Excited to see where the training leads from here.

Love what they've done for me

I absolutely love these shoes and how much they have helped me. Years ago I was injured in a mining accident when the roof collapsed, three of us were buried. The injury to my back caused a permanent disability and I've had pain everyday since. A few weeks after I started wearing these shoes I noticed the pain was less. I switched back to my regular footwear for a few days and the pain came back until I switched back to Peluva. I've noticed that I have better balance and a better feel for obstacles and uneven terrain. I do a lot of hiking and I've been very impressed with how well they perform and how well they are holding up. I've put a lot of miles on them and there is still no visible wear to the sole or any other part of the shoe. They are a great shoe I highly recommend them. And I'm very thankful for the reduced pain in my back and hips!!

Finally!

I have wanted a pair of Peluvas for awhile now and finally went for it. I prefer being barefoot and feel cramped by traditional shoes, so I am loving the feel of Peluvas. I previously had heel pain when wearing sneakers, and I don't experience any pain in the Peluvas. I haven't had much trouble with getting them on, I just have to check and feel that my pinky toe is in the right spot. I picked this trail shoe to be worn primarily for workouts, but I have also worn them to work in a school building and on wlks around my neighborhood. So far, they have been great for all of those things. I am already planning to buy a second pair in a different style so the ATR can be just for fitness and the second pair can be for work/leisure. I would love to only wear toe shoes and hope to be able to invest in more in the future. I initially bought an 11, as I tend to wear a 10.5, but the 11 was huge. Based on the amount of space I had, I ended up going with a 10 and that worked perfectly. I realized that my usual sneaker size of 10.5 may actually be a bit big to compensate for me wanting more room for my toes. For me, the Peluvas then are true to size as my feet are likely a 10 and that is what fits well. Returning was straightforward and the shipping was fairly quick. I am looking forward to the ways I anticipate these shoes helping with my balance and performance in the gym.

He loves them

Got these for my son for Christmas and he absolutely loves them! The only “issue” is the toe parts are a little long so his toes don’t go all the way in. But he doesn’t care, he wears them to work every day and loves them!

They took some getting used to, but after a couple days of constant wear I can tell that my posture is better and gait is smoother.
