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.

- DPDavid P.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoLove them!
First pair of “toe shoes” after wearing lots of barefoot. They look good and fit the bill. Recommend if you’re looking for a pair!
- AYAnne Y.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 month agoNew to Peluva
I bought these as a gift for my son who is extremely active every day. He was interested in trying them for foot and overall health benefits. He’s had them approximately 10 days and likes them so far. I would have given these five stars, however, they arrived without the free socks that we’re supposed to be included as noted on the FAQ page.
peluva1 month agoThank you for your feedback and for choosing Peluva as a gift for your son. We're glad to hear he is enjoying the shoes so far. We apologize for the oversight regarding the free socks. Please reach out to our customer email support, and we'll make sure the socks are sent to you promptly.
- KMK. M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoComfortable, light weight with the right amount of cushion
I was pleasantly surprised by these shoes. I've worn other "toe shoes" in the past and have liked them, but sometimes wished they had a bit more cushion underfoot, especially for longer walks. These fit that wish perfectly. They have some cushion but still allow you to feel the ground well enough. They are light weight and comfortable. I used the foot/size size calculator and and it was pretty much dead on accurate. I would say that while I can wear toe socks with them, they are more comfortable without. I think I might want to go up half a size if I want to wear socks with them all the time. Over all I'm quite pleased with them!
- NRNelson R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoThe best shoes I've ever had
I'm willing to do a testimonial with my story.
Since having knee surgery in 2019 I lived with chronic knee pain for years.
The short of it is that the peluvas fixed the mechanics of how I walk and now my knee doesn't hurt.
I only wear these shoes now, this is my third pair and I will likely be buying more
- JOJason O.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoFREEDOM OF FEET!
Like anything else at first you might be a little skeptical but for some reason I didn’t have that feeling. As soon as I saw my really good friend have a pair of these. I immediately wanted to get a pair. They just look really cool aside from looking really cool they are really comfortable. That’s a huge plus, especially when it comes to training. a lot of my pretty high intensity so to have shoes that are lightweight flat very comfortable is a huge plus. I did come from using vans and converse, but to me they were still heavy and my feet were very confined and Wearing peluvas my feet feel as free as ever. At first, they might be a little uncomfortable to get used to, but once you break them in you are golden. I will promise you that. So don’t hesitate to get a pair get a pair and get to work become a ninja
