Love Peluva! Happy feet!

I fell in love with the beauty, Then after a brief adjustment period I came to love this pair of red footwear for its comfort and foot aesthetics. It’s become a part of me!

My biggest struggle with the shoe is getting it on. I dress for workouts first thing and sit on my closet floor for about 5 minutes struggling to get all my toes in the right places. Once they’re on, they feel good and I know I’m strengthening my feet by walking in them but man! I wish they would just slip right on without a fight!!

Overall I really like these shoes. The sizing is a little wonky. I used the online sizing tool and ordered the recommended size. They fit well except for the big toe, which was too short. It felt like that toe wouldn’t flatten completely and I was sure to develop a hole at the end. My big toe isn’t much longer than the second toe, they look pretty standard to me. I exchanged (very easy, thank you Peluva) and the next size up was more comfortable on my big toe. The length on all the other toes is kind of too long and I was worried I would trip or have to alter my gait in some way, but this hasn’t been the case. Transitioning has been easy, I’ve walked in them for several miles at a time outside and on the treadmill. At some point I may try wearing them to work if I can tolerate the teasing by my coworkers.

I bought these shoes out of desperation. My feet hurt badly after years of nursing. I have a bunion on the right, fallen arch on the left and my next step would be surgery. I consulted with AI and Peluva was recommended. My first pair was 1/2 size larger but I needed to go up a full size to accommodate Morton’s toe. Just putting the shoes on and getting that toe spread gave immediate relief. I’ve been wearing them now for 6 weeks and I’m able to do daily 3 mile walks comfortably and the relief extends even after I’ve taken them off. These shoes are a game changer.

★★★★ ★ As a Certified Personal Trainer, and someone who has spent years studying movement, performance, and overall body mechanics, I’m extremely picky about footwear. Most shoes restrict natural foot function, squeeze the toes together, and disconnect us from the ground. Peluvas do the exact opposite. The individual toe design looked different at first, but after wearing them, I honestly don’t want to go back to traditional shoes. My feet feel stronger, more stable, and more connected to the ground whether I’m training, walking, or simply going about my day. The natural toe splay and freedom of movement are unlike anything I’ve experienced in other athletic shoes. What surprised me most was realizing how restricted my feet had felt in conventional footwear all these years. Once my feet adapted, everything just felt more natural. I wear these for workouts, walks, errands, and pretty much any opportunity I get. They’re lightweight, comfortable, incredibly well-made, and always spark conversations when people see them. As someone in the fitness and sports industry, I’m a huge believer that healthy movement starts from the ground up. Our feet are our foundation, and Peluva is one of the few companies creating footwear that actually respects how the human foot was designed to function. I rarely get this excited about a product, but these exceeded every expectation I had. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. Your feet will thank you. Needless to say, I’ll be buying more pairs.

These shoes are a game changer for me and I have bad feet. If they work for me, they can work for everyone!

Quality construction. Attractive design. Because my 'errant' toes are separated, there is less stress on my foot. Hoping for miracles, longer-term, in realigning my foot with consistent wearing.

I love these shoes because they are very comfortable, they have an additional cushion without it being too much, it’s just enough. I’ve tried other brands and love these! I did purchase a black pair before this one, but a 1/2 size smaller. The size 7 fits much better.

These shoes are really amazing. They can't fix my hammer toe, but they sure make it easier to walk!
