Care Guide
We recommend hand-washing your Peluvas with mild detergent. In the event that they get super dirty, you can machine wash the non-leather models in warm water and allow them to air dry. If you are spending time sockless and notice any odors, you might try some medicated foot powder inside once in a while.

    Love these shoes!

    I love these shoes!!! I was concerned about the size. They recommend half size bigger. I have 1 pair of running shoes at 7.5 and another at 8. But then I did the AI and it recommended 8.5 so I took the chance and the AI was right! My pinkie toe barely makes it in its spot but my big toe practically goes to the end. When I first got them I wore them most of the day indoors. I haven’t ran with them yet but I wear them to walk my Shih Tzu or other walks and I absolutely love them!!! I am considering getting another pair as slippers for indoors. FYI have you thought of making slippers for indoors??? As a stay at home mom I wear slippers more often than I wear shoes.

    Great Barefoot Shoe!

    It’s super comfy and I love the toe separation to reinforce our human toe splay! It’s a great option for new barefooters or seasoned barefoot shoe lovers!

    Came from Xero and Swapped to Peluvas

    My Xeros were worn and it was time for a new pair. I wanted to try these shoes since I read a bit about how I might need just a little bit more cushion for the concrete running. These fit the bill! They are wider than Xeros in the way that the toes can feel spread in their natural position. I can also STILL feel enough of the ground despite the light cushion, which is epic. I put them on straight out of the box at the post office in excitement and walked 2 miles. Now, note that my feet are already used to my other shoes so I didn't need a break in, but this increased my comfort even more since my toes have more spread space than my old shoes! And they're more snug so I easily forget they're on after a while. Though I was wondering if people would say anything; they didn't even notice lol. Plus, I was prepared to revise in my head that they love my new shoes if they did. I just strut happily anyways. I checked myself out in the mirror, and I can see why! They're actually super cuuute and look awesome! Not weird at all, imo at least. Anyways, Other things to note: The toes can flex up easily, but not down into a "toe point" due to the sole. But this is fully unnecessary anyways;, you don't need that for running walking-- maybe just stretching. I suggest Tighten the laces so it hugs all around and you'll forget they're on. Also, pleeease BUY TOE SOCKS. Invest in a few pairs so you don't need to worry bout sweat and don't have stinky feet to keep weird stereotypes going. Next,…
