I like the shoes! They are comfortable and provide a bit more padding on the sole. Was hoping for it to be a little less, but it does keep me out of small puddles. Shoes are definitely not waterproof, but they dry fast. I will probably slowly replace my entire wardrobe to this brand.
Men's Strand Sport MeshIt's a good feel, it's comfortable and flexible. I'm not sure how good the sizing is because I'm pretty snug in the toe, I'm assuming as it breaks in it will fit just right.
Men's Strand Sport MeshGood feel, design, comfort. Not great or perfect.
Men's Strand Sport MeshThey are really good, personally I think they should be $80 to $90, but i might be stuck in the days of skeletoes that were $45. These have a bit more cushion than the Vivo barefoot. The bottom seem sturdy but the mesh between the toes seem very light for being a high wear and tear area. Great for long jumps and lunges, doesn't really cut into your skin. Comfy enough that I've forgotten to take my shoes off twice.
Men's Strand Sport MeshAs a longtime strength coach, and a barefoot footwear lover, I have almost exclusively good things to say about the Peluva. Comfortable, stylish, good snug fit, devoid of fancy colors, and a subdued logo. One of my favorite things about these shoes is the ability to truly toe off when walking or doing loaded carries. Really helps engage the posterior musculature. My only knock, as a barefoot footwear snob, is that I would love them, personally, to have a thinner sole. That said, for the person who is transitioning from traditional footwear to barefoot footwear, these are a great mid-range step.
Cant tell quite yet whether I like these or not. My pinky toe doesnt feel right and they might be a tidge too small but Im willing to give them a chance. I wear a size 10 and ordered a 10.5. Im thinking I should have ordered a size 11, we’ll see.
Men's Strand Sport MeshInitially purchased using the sizing tool at the website. Shoes were extremely snug and very difficult to get on. Watched some of the very helpful videos and still determined that shoes were too small. Returned and got next size up. Return was easy and replacement shoes came relatively quick. Fit was much better and videos were very helpful in understanding how shoes went on. Still getting used to this type of shoe, but my feet feel great.
Men's Strand Sport MeshI will be using these shoes to try and get the use back in my toes. With my feet locked in regular shoes for 40 years it is shocking what it feels like to have my foot move like it should. The hard part is how they look. It is hard to adjust to. My wife hates them, but she knows what they are made for. She just won’t be seen in public with me. I’m excited to keep using them when the weather warms up and get a feel for daily use. Excited for the way my body has already woken up a littLe bit from wearing them. The app told me to get 12’s but my guess is that 11.5 is best based on how much room my smaller toes have.
Men's Strand Sport MeshThe red shoes are more comfortable than the black
Men's Strand Sport MeshFit well and they are comfortable just my right pinky toe has some slight irritation. I’m still in the break in period though.
95% of the time I've worn shoes over the past 16 years they have been Vibram Five-finger shoes with 2-4mm of "cushion". At one point I had 30 pair! As a dog groomer, I stand for hours at a time, sometimes on hard surfaces. This was never a problem until recently. At 60 years old, my plantar fascia (the thick, fibrous, and inelastic connective tissue on the sole of the foot that extends from the heel bone to the toes) has been causing me a lot of pain by the end of a workday. My new Strand Sport Mesh (SMM) allow me to keep the shoe form I've become accustomed to with 9mm of cushion giving my tired feet some much needed relief! If you are already used to the form-fitting design of VFF it's easy to switch to Peluva. They are slightly bulkier/stiffer than VFF, but are still lightweight and provide some ground feel. I normally wear an EU43 in VFF so I opted for a US size 10. With socks the SSM fit okay, but are a tiny bit large. If I push my toes fully forward there is a little bit of space at the heal. I think that's because the Peluva shoe has a bit more structure to it where as VFF is more elastic and hug the foot. Without socks, or with super thin socks, the SSM would be too big for me. I might try a US 9.5 for my next pair. The only concern I have is the durability of the nylon(?) eyelets of the SSM. I worry that the sawing action of tightening the laces may wear them out prematurely. Time will tell. I prefer the standard hole punch eyelets of the Strand ATR.
Very stylish fit like a glove
Men's Strand Sport MeshThese are objectively a strange looking shoe. I knew they would be but in person man they're odd. That being said I love wearing them. They do take a bit of getting used too but after a few days you get the hang of how to put them on. These are my everyday shoe for just going to the store or working out. They're a little thin on the sole which that's by design but for me personally they're not good for hiking for that reason. I step on a tree root or a rock I really feel it. I prefer my Ascics for trails or even just jogging. Other than that they're great they're super lightweight and after a little while you almost forget you even have them on. They're odd but I love them
Quality looks greate, specifically the bottom of the shoe, they r a little expensive, regarding the materials, good quality but nothing different than the usual (i think).
Men's Strand Sport MeshLove my shioes
Men's Strand Sport MeshDefinitely takes some getting used to. Feels great but not for long periods of time.
Men's Strand Sport MeshIt takes some time to get used to, but I do think the toes could be longer from the web to tip of toes.
Men's Strand Sport MeshI like the shoes. I bought a 13 and they are a little tight so I thought I’d buy another pair and they’re too big…. Never had a shoe fit like that, I like them though!
Men's Strand Sport MeshVery unique. Not the easiest to wear but suit their need

Men's Strand Sport MeshDefinitely unique, going to take awhile. Not really an attractive shoe.
Men's Strand Sport MeshGood shoe. I don’t like the laces (string too short & vibram strings better)
Men's Strand Sport MeshLove these shoes. They do everything they say. I prefer less stack height so I probably won’t get another pair but if you’re switching from brooks or hoka big foam running shoes, you will love the feel of these.
Men's Strand Sport MeshI really like my new blue mesh peluvas! They have plenty of room and they look delightfully weird! I think I’m going to get a pair of black ones next!
