Women's Carrie ST

The strands were too tight on the top of my foot, and the footbed was a little narrow. These soles are nearly the same width, however the Carrie is more forgiving for wider feet. Many people complained the uppers are too loose, but they are perfect for my foot shape. The stretch is great, and I’m maybe 20 hours of wear in, but I love it! These need more widths and a restock!! The free socks are ok but not worth buying on their own. Also, I would highly recommend socks with these for more than a few minutes of wear. I started to get blisters.

I was incredibly excited for these shoes because of how sleek and modern they looked compared to all the Vibram Five Fingers shoes I have. I am no stranger to toe shoes and in fact love them. I have been looking for other brands that make toe shoes for a while now when I came across Peluva. But this specific Carrie ST model was let down. Since the top is laceless I was expecting them to be tight fitting and stretchy. But instead they are incredibly loose and stretchy. I can comfortably fit 4 of my fingers in the shoe along with my foot. So needless to say my foot moves around a lot when trying to walk in them. The shoes fit length wise so I cannot size down. I honestly don't know if these shoes would fit anyone who doesn't have swollen feet or very tall and wide feet. I should also note that my husband tried the men's Napa Dress Trainer (which is sadly not available in women's sizes) and didn't have this issue because those shoes have laces and can be manually adjusted.

I would give 5 stars for the sleek and modern color block aesthetics of these shoes but I have to give 1 star for the fact that they are too loose and my feet move up and down with every step. Overall 3 stars.

Peluva if you can modify this design in future releases to be tighter and still a stretchy slip on, I would love to give them another shot. Also I would absolutely love to see these shoes in a sage green or mint green colorway!
