The Strand ATR is a trail-ready shoe engineered for serious hikers, trekkers, and ruckers. Its custom outsole delivers strategic cushioning, puncture protection, and aggressive traction on rugged terrain—without the bulk of traditional hiking boots. Built for natural movement, the Strand ATR lets your feet navigate obstacles with precision and balance, absorbing impact efficiently across uneven surfaces. The reinforced EVA midsole features Kevlar™ puncture-proof fabric, while the Jacquard mesh upper with midfoot overlays resists the elements with a DWR finish. Quick-lace system for fast adjustments. Ideal for trail work, gym training, and those transitioning to minimal footwear who want added stability and grip.

Comfortable and Protective
The Strand ATR provides the flexibility and natural structure of a 5-toe shoe while offering more support and protection than expected. The sole curls up to the front of the toes. I have twice stubbed a toe in the shoes. And both times the toes felt just as protected they would in a box toe pair of shoes.

The shoe feels great and I can actually wear it all day.

Verified BuyerLike running in them.
I like the way you can feel your toes grasp the ground as you're running. Very natural feeling. I'm glad if I decided to try them. I've got weird feet and Morton's/Greek toe, but they seem to compensate as they are molding to fit. The big toe area on mine seems to bunch with a little extra cloth maybe because of my longer second toe, but doesn't affect comfort. I'm a size 12.5 and so usually get 13s but I went with 13 on peluva and seems to be the right choice.

Absolutely love these shoes. I can run with no pain in my toes or bunions. I love wearing them plain on getting another pair for every day use.

Verified BuyerPretty good!
Makes a nice change from regular toe squishing shoes. My feet are different sizes so I ordered up a size, they work well. Takes some practice getting your toes in the right slots but it’s not difficult once you’ve done it a few times. Would like a little more padding in the sole but they’re pretty comfy as is. Would recommend.

I already had the ATR in blue, so the all black was an easy decision!

This is my first pair of toed shoes. I've had other barefoot shoes before, but not like these. It took me 2 trys to get the sizing correct, but now I think they're amazing. I've been putting on miles in them, the thought of strengthening my feet and legs with every step is just what I was looking for. So much so, I bought 2 more pairs. Can't wait till they get here. The worst part is getting used to all the dandelion heads getting stuck between my toes

There is an adjustment period just putting on the socks and shoes. I'm 64 and not as flexible as I once was When I get them on they are very comfortable Like wearing nothing without the pain from walking on pebble pavement and not wearing shoes. If I see a big sale I might buy the golf shoes

It’s like discovering you’ve been playing basketball your whole life wearing mittens when you discover how to unlock your toes and use them as they’re designed to do
Eric S.
Verified BuyerGreat!
At first I didn’t think I would like them because they felt quite uncomfortable but more than likely it was because my feet weren’t used to using my toes to balance as much. Since wearing everyday mainly when going to gym to to workout and a little while after I have noticed my balance is improving and knee pain is starting to go away as well!
