This order took a long time to arrive. When it finally did, the socks were dirty and sticky. I was going to order the shoes but after this experience I’ve changed my mind.

Verified BuyerPeluva Women's Strand Lightweight Trainer Game-Changer for Foot Relief: Peluva Women's Strand Lightweight Trainer Review
Product: Peluva Women's Strand Lightweight Trainer Color/Size: Black / White / Size 12 I have only had these shoes for two days now, and I am already able to wear them all day! Back in 2007, I had to have surgery on both of my feet due to years of wearing pointed-toe shoes. Pointed-toe shoes act like clamps on your feet—they force your toes together, cramming them so they can’t move naturally or feel free while walking. That concentrated pressure caused me friction, pain, hard corns, bunions, and hammertoes. While surgery straightened my toes and gave me beautiful feet, it couldn't solve everything, especially a stubborn callus in the middle of my right foot. Over the years, I tried everything: warm soaks, pumice stones, non-stop moisturizing, and wearing toe separators day and night. Nothing gave me lasting relief. Recently, the pain returned, and I felt a bunion trying to form again. I know for sure I am never having foot surgery again, and in the past, I’ve literally thrown brand-new shoes straight into the trash because of the excruciating pain they caused. After doing research, I decided to try 5-toe shoes alongside 5-toe socks—and oh man, let me tell you, it is a total game changer! Benefits of Switching to 5-Toe Shoes: • Natural Toe Spread & Alignment: Unlike pointed-toe shoes that squash your feet, 5-toe shoes allow each toe to sit in its own individual pocket. This keeps your toes from rubbing against each other, relieves joint pressure, and helps prevent bunions from reforming. • Better Traction & Balance: Having your toes spread out naturally gives you incredible grip, stability, and natural movement whether you’re walking, running errands, or standing for long periods. • All-Day Comfort: They completely eliminate that cramped, jammed feeling caused by standard footwear. When your feet feel good, you feel good! Fit & Sizing Details (Size 11.5 vs. Size 12): • Sizing Feedback: I originally ordered a size 11.5, and the body of the shoe felt like a glove on my foot! However, my big toe was pushing all the way to the end, needing less than an extra inch of room. I exchanged them for a size 12 to give my big toe space. While the size 12 fits my big toe, there is now a bit too much extra room around my other toes, which caused a little initial discomfort. I really hope Peluva considers adjusting the big-toe length on the 11.5, because that glove-like fit was amazing! • Return Protection: I loved having the free unlimited return insurance valid in the US. Knowing I could exchange them risk-free gave me great peace of mind, though I definitely plan on keeping these because I love wearing them. If you understand real foot pain and want to break free from the damage caused by traditional pointed-toe shoes, do your feet a favor and give 5-toe shoes a try. I will forever wear 5-toe footwear from now on. I would really love to try Peluva’s 5-toe socks to go with these shoes. However, given the sizing issue I ran into with my first pair of shoes, I am hesitating to order them. Peluva does not offer returns or refunds on socks, and I simply can’t afford to spend $27.00 on a pair of socks if they end up not fitting right or not working for my feet. I really hope Peluva considers updating their return policy for socks in the future so customers can try them risk-free!

I wanted to share how quick and easy the return process was when I had to exchange my size 11.5 for a size 12. The return location was very close to my home, so I didn't have to drive far at all. The exchange was fast, smooth, and hassle-free—I really appreciate how convenient you made it!

Perfect fit. After the second day, I notice my toes are already starting to re- adjust to the shoes. Feet are more relaxed.

Verified BuyerNew Experience
I've only had the mesh ones for a few days, they're comfortable, and it does take some effort to get the toes in the right places. With the size chart, I measured at size 9, ordered a 10, then ordered the Zen Slip on, and ordered a 10.5 for a bit more room. Reviews subject to change as experience does, but so far, I'm satisfied with them. Received a lot of compliments and questions about them too. Now, if only they were made in the U.S.A.

Verified BuyerOne Week In and Already Ordering a Second Pair
These shoes are great. I made a point of wearing them every day for a week, and I have already started to see results. I can feel the muscles in my feet working, and my posture is better. I liked them so much that I ordered a second pair for golf. If you are on the fence, give them a week. You will feel the difference.
