Great customer service and great product

I recently went through a bunion surgery and decided to get some five finger type shoes. Pelluva stood out. I was very disappointed when my package got lost in the mail. Pelluva made it right and shipped me another pair. Thank goodness because when I wear these shoes it feels like I am getting a foot massage with every step. These are helping my feet recover from years of bunion pain. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Has just the right amount of support for the feet. I thought the shoe was going to be really thin at the bottom like the vibratims. These are way better.

So, I ordered a half size smaller then I normally wear(Size 10 mens) and that was my mistake. The toes fit a bit too tight for my liking, but again, that one’s on me. The shoe itself is very comfortable to wear even without socks, granted, I do believe they sell them on the website but I was unable to see where exactly, so I’ll have to buy them along with my correct size next time. Oh and, thanks to Stayflexy for recommending these on his youtube channel. 💪🏻💪🏻

Loving my Peluvas

I am absolutely in love with my new Peluva shoes. They’ve finally freed my toes and given me that barefoot feeling I’ve been craving. I love walking around the house and yard barefoot, but that’s not always practical or accepted in public. Now, thanks to Peluva, I can enjoy that same freeing barefoot experience anywhere I go. If you're like me and have longer middle toes than your big toe, be sure to order a half size larger than your usual shoe size. I learned this the hard way. I ordered my regular size and wore them for a week, thinking I could break them in, but they just weren’t comfortable. When I finally reached out to customer support, they were so kind and understanding. They quickly sent me a new pair in the right size, and the difference was night and day. I absolutely love great customer service, and Peluva really delivered. I've worked in the fitness industry for over 30 years, and I've always believed that foot health is incredibly important for overall well-being. That’s why I spend most of my time at home barefoot. Peluva gives me the freedom to keep that natural, grounded feeling no matter where I go. These shoes feel like walking barefoot, but with just the right amount of protection and support to keep my feet and body strong. In short, Peluva has nailed it. Great design, excellent support, and top-notch customer service. The individual toe design, zero-drop sole, and flexible cushioning all come together in a shoe that lets your feet move the way they’re meant to. I couldn’t be happier.

Unusal at 1st

Ive been wearing toe sock for years. I started to help keep my toes from rubbing on each other. So I was excited for these shoes. I thought It would be like wearing slippers. No definitely not. The hardest part is getting your toes into the shoes for the 1st few times. After some time your toes will get used to moving apart and slide in effortlessly. ** the size calculator works well, BUT it gave me my size barefoot.**. I would need to size up to wear toe socks. That being said I wear the shoes a LOT and enjoy it. My calves are definitely feeling it after a few runs and walks. I ride a ONE wheel, its an electric skateboard and wearing these shoes while riding is insane comfortable. Overall experience is im going to look into getting the trail shoes

Appreciate the detailed insight! It really does take a little time to adjust, but once your toes get the hang of it, it’s smooth sailing. Love that you’re rocking them on your Onewheel too,sounds like the perfect pairing!

Comfortable

Stable, but takes a use or two to get use to them.

Thanks for sharing, Lynn! Glad to hear you’re finding them comfortable and stable. That break-in period is real but once you’re in the groove, they’re game changers for lifting.

14 years of barefoot shoes and these are the best.

Peluva nailed it. The shoe is the perfect combo allowing the toes to work independently while creating comfort on the forefoot. I’ve tried all the brands out there Vibrams (2011), vivobarefoot (2017), Xero (2020) and a few cheaper brands. They all were missing one thing to feel the best. Peluva did what the others couldn’t do. Thank you!

Peluva lightweight trainers

I bought my 1st pair of Peluva's and honestly I struggled the 1st few times trying to get them on. Once I figured out the secret(angle your foot in and get the 2nd toe in the right spot-everything else follows), I love them. Super comfortable, very light, almost like being barefoot, except my feet don't get cold on my basement floor where I workoput!

Great shoes!

Once you get the correct size, the shoes are awesomely comfortable and really look nice. My feet are more comfortable in these compared to standard shoes. I’ve worn Vibram 5 toe shoes in the past but they don’t have the minimal support that the Peluva’s have. I like!
