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.

Honestly a pain in the ass to size but worth it
My shoe size is 11.5 wide US My peluva size is apparently (after 4 pairs sending them back) an 8.5-9 glad I did 9 cause there's a little wiggle room and I can wear some toe socks

it's going be hard to ever wear regular shoes again!!
I'm going to to be short and sweet! these shoes are amazing!! I didn't want to spend this much but I was curious and my feet have found their home, the sport shoe is so supportive and I feel great wearing them. I have bought a second pair the one good for hiking and they are just as comfortable! I'm already eyeing up a third pair!

So comfy
I have been using zero drip shoes for about 3 years. Prior to buying the apeluvas I was using Vivobare shoes for golf. I’m in Australia so was a bit nervous about buying as I had to use an forwarding agent to get delivery as Pelicans don’t deliver directly to Aust. This did raise the cost of the shoes due to the extra delivery charges. However. The effort was worth it. The Peluvas are so comfy on the course. Feels like I’m walking on air. No probs walking 18 holes. They are definitely more comfortable than the Vivobares. As my feet don’t tire as quickly. The Peluvas have just the right amount of padding whilst still giving you the zero drop feel the ground feeling. They are easy to put on I just angle my feet when I put them on. One small downside the do take a while to dry if it’s a rainy day. The leather soaks up the water. I probably should have water proofed them when they arrived. Other than that they are an awesome shoe. I have no hesitation in recommending them if you are used to zero drop shoes. To the Peluva team. Please get a distributor in Australia soon.

I LOVE THEM!
I bought a pair of these almost as soon as I saw them launch. I got the beautiful brown and tan ones, loved the colors even though I had to order in the men’s size instead of women's. I LOVE THEM!!! When the toes are separated, you get better circulation all through the foot and that keeps your foot warmer. So I can wear these a lot during cold weather in SW Colorado. However, if the temperatures start getting into the teens or subzero and it’s really frigid out, I will be going back to using my Lems boots with correcttoe spacers, and warm socks. I am now wearing Peluva shoes whenever possible. They exercise all kinds of little muscles in my feet and toes I never knew existed before these shoes. It takes time to get used to that. It’s good to take it slow and easy and build up your wearing time. But I’m pretty much there now and my feet and lower legs feel much stronger. Every time I wear these shoes, my feet and toes get a workout and they are definitely getting stronger. An added wonderful benefit: I have Morton’s neuroma’s in both feet, the right one being somewhat worse. These can cause excruciating intermittent pain from time to time and neuropathy. When I wear shoes like Peluvas, separate my toes, I get a great deal of relief from those painful neuromas. Even after I’ve taken the shoes off for the night. I started taking a serious look at Peluvas when I saw that they were being endorsed by Naboso, where they make products that are all about caring for and strengthening the feet. I love Naboso’s products to help strengthen feet and hands and I know they would not have endorsed Peluvas if they were not seriously, really good for the feet.

Perfect work shoes
I love these shoes. The material is perfect for work. They are so comfortable I have to check to make sure I have shoes on. They are right. If u wear socks go half a size up.

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.
