Your Feet Were Designed to Move Freely
Modern shoes compress your toes into a single box. Peluva gives each toes its own space the way nature intended.
True Toe Separation
Your foot has 29 muscles, 26 bones, and 33 joints. When your toes can move independently, you activate natural grip, improve balance, and restore the proprioception that conventional shoes have dulled for years.
Real World Cushioning
A 9mm EVA midsole gives you groundfeel without sacrificing comfort, making Peluva ideal for all-day wear on hard surfaces.
Zero-Drop, Flexible Sole
Peluva’s flat, flexible sole allows your body to achieve optimal posture and gait mechanics, reduce joint stress, and interact gracefully with the ground for all manner of complex kinetic chain activity.

Second pair
These walking shoes are liberating once you get used to the feel of walking with a low rise sole. It forces you to walk more vertically and is a more strenuous leg workout. They are well made and it is important to size up as they recommend. I purchased a different well known brand of toe socks which compliment these beautifully. I typically power walk/ jog 4 miles in most weather conditions. I can no longer wear regular width walking shoes. Better for foot health all around.

Barefoot shoes that keep kicking
I haven’t had my Peluva’s for very long, but I decided to put them to the test, hiking Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park. The Old Rag Mountain circuit hike includes nearly two miles of granite scramble and climbing along the ridge line. It’s a rough and tumble ramble and loads of fun, and the Peluva ATG performed well. They were super grippy and I could easily climb up rocky inclines with a short sprint. There was a little wear and tear, which is to be expected considering the demanding terrain.

Pain gone!
I am in love! I have been trying to find a good shoe that does not hurt my feet, knees, hips and back. I am a dog walker and I do many miles a day! These shoes have been awesome. I come home with no pain now! They take a few days to break in but then they are so comfortable!

This will be the only shoes I wear
I am new to the toe shoes. These shoes will be the only shoes I wear from here on out until I am no longer walking. I first bought a pair of the Men's Stand ATR at the end of January. I ordered the same size as my regular shoe and when they arrived they felt great. I should have gotten a half size up but im size 13 and the next size was 14. I was afraid they were gonna be too big as I didnt plan on wearing socks. At first they felt great but after a couple months it felt a little tight. I attributed the tightness to my feet conforming to the natural splay being widened due to new use of this type of shoe. When I would prop my feet up and let it rest on the heels my pinkie toes would slide out. This made me think if I were to get a size bigger that it would make the pinkie toe fall out the pocket even more so I didnt think anything of it. Winter was here for a couple days(Texas) and the new Winter boots came out. Instantly purchased those as well and kept my regular size 13 for those as well. These were a bit tighter than the ATR but I had slightly faded thr inside sole where it shows Peluva brand name so I didnt reach out for a return as I figured it would have been declined. Then the new color Black/yellow DAVID Stay flexy color combination came out and I decided to go ahead and try the size 14. Boy oh boy I should have done what Peluva recommended the first 2 times as they clearly know the recommendations for sizing. Yes my pinkie toes still slip out but only when I curl my toes downward. The extra size difference allowed my big toes and other little piggies to have more room to naturally stay in the pockets easier especially when in a depp squat position applied with standing on tip toes in the deep squat position. I'm able to move my feet in the natural positions that you can without wearing shoes while being barefoot. These toe shoes are a game changer. My feet and toes are stronger. My toes are more splayed out instead of being crammed together and are more grounded for a solid foundation. If you have been thinking about it but just haven't made a decision on yes I hope this review will help someone else out there consider the change. Just make sure you get half a size to full size up so you have room if you decide to include the socks. Adding the socks will also help fill the shoes in more and lessen the chance of pinkie toes falling out of the toe pockets. I will never wear another pair of non toe type shoes from here on out. Thank you to Peluva for creating the outlet and to David as well for promoting this as I would have never given them a chance unless I saw his videos.

My Personal favorite pair. Lightweight. Squishy, Great Durability
I love my size 8 lightweight trainers they are by far my most favorite pair compared to the all black Trail hiking boots and the Desert Boot designs. While I love all Peluvas the light weight trainers are true to their name and weight nothing, they fit my feet perfectly and give the best barefoot experience. They are not waterproof in-between the toes but these are made to have breathable material between the toes to reduce sweat during exercise so its only inconvenient when it's really rainy and I accidently step in a big puddle going to my car but that doesn't stop me from wearing them everywhere . This specific pair i wear almost everyday for work and exercise in everyday so 5 stars for quality design. They show no signs of any bad wear and tear and I have had them for almost 6 months already..which is why the pictures are of Dirty peluvas i wanted to show how well they have held up for someone who goes through shoes fast . I run on dirt roads constantly in my area and they have held up very good on tread, foam, and overall hold up. My bunion pain and nerve pain in my feet has definitely reduced since wearing which is one of the main reasons I wanted to try toe shoes. I tell people the only bad thing about Peluvas is that its hard to wear all your old shoes once you start wearing them. They say to size up but for some reason I have found my normal size 8 seems to fit me the best. I didnt have to return them the first time for this specific pair the first pair didnt fit me but peluvas return and exchange process was so fast and easy I was able to figure out the right pair and get them shipped within days. Will definitely get a new pair of this design once these start to fall apart especially if they get different colors.

Built by an Athlete Who's Been Barefoot for 30 Years
Mark Sisson is a former elite endurance athlete who qualified for the Olympic Trials marathon and raced Ironman triathlons professionally. After decades of studying human movement and founding Primal Kitchen, Mark turned his attention to the one piece of gear that most impacts how we move: our shoes.
Having lived barefoot for over 30 years, Mark knew what the foot needed — and what was missing from every shoe on the market. Peluva was born from a simple idea: give each toe its own space, add just enough cushioning for modern surfaces, and make it look good enough that people actually want to wear it every day.
