FAQs

How do I know my size?

In general, we find that it's best to order a half-size larger than your regular running shoe. While we offer standard shoe sizing, Peluvas have one basic common foot pattern, to accommodate your individual toes. This common outline is intended to fit most people. Of course, this pattern increases or decreases based on shoe size. Some people have a longer second toe than the first (or big) toe. Others have a longer than average pinkie toe. In these cases, you might try buying a half size larger than your normal shoe size. It is not necessary that every toe extends all the way into each toe box. We recommend that you use our fitting app underneath the size chart of each product.

They feel weird at first. Is this normal?

Many people have never had the experience of wearing “gloves for the feet.” As such, it might feel a bit unusual at first to have your toes in separate compartments. Most people find that after a few minutes of wearing them, they begin to enjoy the feeling and appreciate the newfound freedom of having their toes able to move up and down over surfaces unevenly. After a few times wearing Peluvas, regular shoes might start to feel cramped, an indication of how uncomfortable regular shoes generally are. Over time, you'll find Peluvas to be far more comfortable than any other shoes.

Can I run in Peluvas?

Running in minimalist shoes is an entirely different challenge from running in regular running shoes. It takes very strong and well-adapted feet to be able to effectively and efficiently run in any minimalist shoes - including Peluvas. If the small muscles of your feet have not become acclimated (adapted) to covering longer distances barefoot, it’s best to not run much - or at all - in any minimalist shoes. Our advice is to spend your day going barefoot when appropriate and/or wearing various styles of Peluvas (in the house, at work, walking distances, at the gym, running errands, going out, etc) putting the muscles of your feet through various easy movements and ranges of motion which, over time, will allow those muscles to get stronger. Then, when it’s time to run (or play soccer or tennis or basketball), put on the shoes that were designed for that sport. Your feet will thank you.

    Second pair

    I like the fit of the boots are well as my walking/work out pair. I just feel that the ankle rim on the top could be smoother or padded slightly. It tends to rub uncomfortably. But, I am still breaking them in so it may get better.

    Amazing! Would love a non slip patterned one so I can wear to work!

    I’m used to being barefoot (most of the time) ever since I was little! So these weren’t an issue getting used to. Love these shoes, I wear them whenever I get the chance.

    That being said, I would love if you guys made a non slip one. (My current work shoes aren’t zero drop, and at the end of the day my knees & feet occasionally hurt due to them -and they’re sketchers.) I work in the restaurant industry and floors are often times slippery. I was going to buy the black ones as my work shoes but looks like I might not be doing so. I tested out the current ones just in the dining room (not on the clock) and I almost slipped.

    I’m otherwise over the moon for these shoes, they’re the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I rave about them to my friends and family even if I get weird looks I don’t mind! If my current ones ever wear away you bet I’m getting a new pair from Peluva.

    Soft, supple and Very Comfortable

    Very comfortable, soft suede, thick enough to feel substantial but still flexible. I ordered the same size as my previous Peluva’s but these seem to be slightly bigger. Took me a minute to get comfortable with the size difference.

    Thank you!

    I feel they are very good quality shoe. I've worn them a couple times. They are not easy to get my feet/toes in but the material is stretching and forming to my feet n misshapen toes. I'm glad I made thus purchase. Thank you for such great customer service and support!♥️
