Comfortable.
I like the toe spread my arches feel a lot less restricted. The fit isn’t perfect. My heel also gets a blister. The socks in size small are still too big.

(Sigh) I was so excited when i ordered these, but my excitement was thwarted by dissatisfaction and disappointment. It's the size of these shoes that's so annoying! I wear women's 9, STRONG, in every shoe I've worn. This shoe, however, feels like 2 sizes too snall. The shoes are digging in between my toes, making an ache like I've never felt before! The sole and heel are very comfortable, though. Hopefully, I'm able to return these for a size up and update my review.

They're the wrong size. I like to return them and get the right size. Can somebody give me a return slip? Thank you.

My girlfriend wears a 9. 5 the site said to order them a half size bigger so I ordered a 10 and they’re too big she needed the 9. 5 ! But either way she liked them ! Hasn’t wore them yet but said they’re comfortable when she tried them on

Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerThe fit was ALMOST perfect
So I really love the idea of these shoes. They are pretty comfy for the most part.. however my second toe on each foot is longer. I did size up from 6.5 to 7. My left foot fits perfectly. But on my right foot my second toe is longer than on the other foot. So it pushes against the edge of the tip.. you can see in the photo that it sticks out further. So this does become uncomfortable for me. If I had a 7.5 on my right foot it would be amazing. But a 7.5 on my other foot would probably feel too big. I wish this wasn’t the case because I would definitely buy more of these shoes. So beware if you do not have “standard” feet/ toes. lol
Nothing very special
So this is my first time using barefoot shoes of any kind. I saw them advertised by someone I follow on Instagram and decided to give them a whirl. I bought a half a size larger than my normal size (I'm a women's 8, so I got 8.5), and I do recommend definitely sizing up. I think I should've gone a full size up because my toes fit all the way to the edge of the shoes, and it's been causing me pain and discomfort over just a couple hours of wearing them. So that's a downer. The pain goes away as soon as i remove the shoes. Next, I do have plantar fascitis, so I wondered if these shoes might be good for that...nope. I still get really unbearable heel pain after a few hours in addition to the toe pain. Now as for the whole "natural feet shape with the toes", honestly I don't think it's as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. Unless you have incredibly strong toes, you can't move your toes. My feet are still in a "foot coffin" lol. I will say, I do have better balance when I'm doing calf stretches (standing on my "tippy toes"). But other than that, I haven't been impressed with wear. Could be because I got a shoe size too small...but these are too expensive for me to buy another pair in the right size, especially since I still get heel pain. I will just have to stick with my orthopedic shoes. Worth a try I guess 🤷♀️
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerNot sure how I feel about the Peluvas
The stitching inside the toes rub on my toes, and it makes them very uncomfortable to do lunges in them. They also look very chunky on my feet compared to the Vibram 5 finger toe shoes that I'm use to wearing. I do still have high hopes for them since I'm a Primal Coach and I'd like to be happy to promote them. I just don't know if I got a weird pair or if they need some improvement.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerWaiting on Sheri to get used to them inside
My wife has not really had the chance to get used to them. We are big followers regarding diet. Hope she gets into them, I thought you send one pair of socks to get used to them but no big deal.
Women's Strand Lightweight TrainerGood for foot health
Fit small. They’re comfortable, but they do look a bit odd. You need to be confident to wear these out and about.
