Walk a Mile (or two) in My Shoes

Yes, it took a little patience to get every toe in the right place. And it took a little more patience to get used to walking in these things. But what a great workout and a great way to walk. I highly recommend these to anyone who likes to walk. Or doesn’t like to walk. Either way, this is the way to go.

Response from Peluva

Love your perspective! It definitely takes a little time to adjust, but once you get the hang of it, the natural movement and added foot engagement really make a difference. Thanks for sticking with it and sharing such a motivating review.

Great feel!

The more I wear them the more I like them! I wear them with out the socks because the socks were just to tight feeling. Love them!

Thanks, Jason! We’re glad the Strand Lightweight Trainers are growing on you! Totally understand about the socks, and it’s great to hear the shoes still work well on their own!

Worth the buy

I've only had them for a day, but I like them. I was original gonna wait for a week to see how they effect my feet, but whatever. The socks are a pain to put on. I'd say they are the worst part. Also my little toe I currently have to reach in a make to go into the right hole. I don't know if that's a bad thing, but it feels comfortable when it's in so I'm just assuming that the previous shoes I've been wearing have been unhealthy for my feet. Also almost everyone notices them, but I don't really care and you shouldn't either. Anyways as of I have no complaints. You do have to get used to them, but it's really not that bad just different. If anything bad happens over a week I'll update this, but if not I'll leave this as it is

Response from Peluva

Appreciate the real talk, Isaac. The adjustment period is totally normal, especially with toe alignment, and it sounds like you’re already seeing the difference. Glad you’re feeling comfortable once everything’s in place—and you’re right, the attention just means you’re ahead of the curve!

More than expected

Upon watching the ads I wanted to give toe shoes a try. My usual work shoe is 10.5 (44.5) which i thought to be a size larger. With socks i can feel the punching up on my second left toe. Without the socks it feels like I don't have them on. I have been wearing toe socks for years and the transition to the shoe was relatively easy. They feel tight at first but will losen up where they can slide on easier with little effort. These shoes were on sale and the only color I could get is white. On with the test. At first glance they look like a sneaker with toes. Similar to flat bottom shoes with individual toe boxes to promote splay. I wore them to work. The flexibility of the toes eased the pain of climbing on chairs or ladders to reach high places. Getting on the ground and getting up with little pain was a pleasant surprise. I just turned 68 and had some joint pain and stiffness getting up from a low position. I got caught in a downpour making my shoes sopping wet. They were uncomfortable for a while because I had socks on. They dried out quickly after I got home. Then examined for damage because the insides were first to get ruined but no they weren't. After taking them off I noticed no foot odor. What I like to see is a care guide for the shoes and whether or not sole replacements are available.

5 Stars

Very comfortable and from a glace and a far most people dont even notice. It also feels like wearing entry level toe spacers all day and its so comfortable. I wore vivos for 2 years and they didnt feel wide enough for me as my pinky toe never felt like it could splay proper and was always pinned on the side of the show. With these no more pinky toe pain and they honestly look really good too imo

size 13 shoe

i’ve purchased the size 13, took me a few tries to get the shoe to fit com Comfortably on my foot. You know to alignment and stuff.. once I overcame that small hurdle. I was able to comfortably wear the shoe, first walking around the house for a few hours, then out and about running errands with no discomfort. Love the product.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Kenneth! We’re glad to hear you pushed through the initial adjustment and are now enjoying your Strand Lightweight Trainers comfortably. Toe alignment can take a little getting used to, but once it clicks, it really makes a difference. Appreciate your support!

Best Pair of Shoes Ever

I really love my Peluva Shoes! They are super comfy! A bit awkward wearing them the first time but an absolutely amazing feel after wearing them for a while! Super stylish and people always look surprised when they see them for the first time. I will definitely buy another pair and more pairs of toe socks!

A guy that likes shoes

I have a lot of barefoot shoes. It works with my anatomy of my feet in addition being barefoot growing up I like the feel and support. Your shoes were great. Like the look and feels. A lot of time when I wear “five finger shoes” people give me the looks of unfamiliarity of the shoes. I’m use to the looks from other but your shoes style blends with the environment people don’t notice. Love my pair! Aloha!

Best Brand yet!!!

They're perfectly fitted for my feet. I've tried other brands over the years and they've always cut circulation in my feet. Not these, I've trained Yoga outdoors in them, and resistance trained in the gym with them. No complaints, just compliments. Get yourself a pair.

Interesting concept that surprises me. The shoes are comforting and I believe will assist in my balance progress.

A+ pair of shoes!

These are probably one of the best pairs of shoes I've ever owned! Wide feet friendly and comfortable to walk in too! Take Peluva's advice and go a half size bigger since they run tad small, but not by much. Ps, the customer service is great too!

Superb !

These are My new running shoes ! I have been wearing other brands of toe shoes for years ... resulting in plantar fasciitis . While I do believe that toe shoes lacking supportive cushioning may work for the gym , I know that the result can be injury when used for running on hard pavement . Enter Peluva ... I was dubious at first , but that all changed when going for My first run . My Peluva give Me the freedom of toe shoes with the supportive cushioning to run on pavement . I am in love !
