Women’s Strand ATR

I recently bruised my heel and was in tremendous pain, even using crutches to get around. While searching online for the MOST comfortable shoes, with the MOST cushion (because I never wanted to injure my heel like that again), I came across a video regarding barefoot shoes, and specifically Peluvas. I began listening to several videos regarding the importance of barefoot/minimalist shoes. So, I ordered my first pair of ATR’s. I had to send them back for a full size larger because I did not size up as so many had recommended.

I have now worn my Peluvas for 3 days and I can say that I absolutely love them! There have been times when I forgot that I had them on and went to put on shoes! They are that comfortable! They feel so natural but yet my feet are completely protected in them.

I have not used them yet for cardio, as my heel is still healing, but I hope to in the near future.

I’m now telling my friends and family about them because I love them so much.

So surprised at how comfortable these shoes are. I am still getting a bit used to the look of this style but inside the house, I have been wearing them non-stop. I have some degeneration at the big toe joint that makes me shift my weight onto the little toe side when I walk but in these shoes, somehow, miraculously, the joint feels supported yet cushioned enough to place weight on it without pain or discomfort, helping my gait get back to normal. LOVE the color combination (I have the olive ones with the blue laces)!

I love these shoes! I initially ordered a half size up, but they were too big. I contacted the company, and they quickly sent me the form to get them replaced. I ordered a size 8, and they fit perfectly. Normally, I have to wear my Good Feet orthopedic inserts, but since I work out barefoot, I really wanted to try these. They felt a little strange at first, but after the second time using them on the treadmill (because it’s winter), I could really feel how my feet were working the way they’re supposed to when walking.
