Women's Strand Lightweight Trainer

I love my size 8 lightweight trainers they are by far my most favorite pair compared to the all black Trail hiking boots and the Desert Boot designs. While I love all Peluvas the light weight trainers are true to their name and weight nothing, they fit my feet perfectly and give the best barefoot experience. They are not waterproof in-between the toes but these are made to have breathable material between the toes to reduce sweat during exercise so its only inconvenient when it's really rainy and I accidently step in a big puddle going to my car but that doesn't stop me from wearing them everywhere . This specific pair i wear almost everyday for work and exercise in everyday so 5 stars for quality design. They show no signs of any bad wear and tear and I have had them for almost 6 months already..which is why the pictures are of Dirty peluvas i wanted to show how well they have held up for someone who goes through shoes fast . I run on dirt roads constantly in my area and they have held up very good on tread, foam, and overall hold up. My bunion pain and nerve pain in my feet has definitely reduced since wearing which is one of the main reasons I wanted to try toe shoes. I tell people the only bad thing about Peluvas is that its hard to wear all your old shoes once you start wearing them. They say to size up but for some reason I have found my normal size 8 seems to fit me the best. I didnt have to return them the first time for this specific pair the first pair didnt fit me but peluvas return and exchange process was so fast and easy I was able to figure out the right pair and get them shipped within days. Will definitely get a new pair of this design once these start to fall apart especially if they get different colors.

I grew up mostly barefoot and generally not a fan of shoes so I tried Vibran once before and quickly didn’t like them. Figured these would be the same but been pleasantly surprised. These ones I have been wearing around the house and also doing some explorative hiking. I actually ended up getting the sportier model for hiking because I like the barefoot feel. The trainer was slipping climbing hills. I also ordered a size down so they would be snugger for hiking. But the size they recommended with the paper test is great for everyday around house and out and about. Only negative is I keep going back in forth with wearing socks of not. Without socks they seem to be rubbing where the seams are. That is the only reason it isn’t a 5 star. But potentially.. a break in period is needed.

The first pair of Peluva's had seams that irritated my toes, so they recommended this pair. These are much more comfortable! Still tricky to put on, but I can feel an improvement in the bunion I was developing. I'd prefer a more neutral gray color to either black or white.

I was very skeptical of these shoes. I am a 62 year old woman who has been wearing Kurus for a few years. I decided to try them as I still have some foot pain and I wanted to fix the underlying issues instead of just trying to medicate the pain with shoes. I ordered a pair and the first thing I noticed, when I tried them on, is how stable I felt. I took a couple of weeks to get used to them and then wore them to walk the dogs for an hour. They felt wonderful! Then I wore them to the gym. Again, amazing! I love them and I am now ordering a 2nd pair. They do have some traction which I also love because in life, water gets spilled and sidewalks get wet from sprinklers. I wanted to be safe and many of the barefoot shoes have no traction. I tried a different brand and as soon as I put my foot down on the wood floors, they felt slick. Not safe. Peluva has passed all the tests. Don’t hesitate to order.

These are the most comfortable shoe Peluva has and that’s coming from someone who has several pairs.

First time trying this type of shoe. Love it so far!

I got the Strand Lightweight Trainer to use as my daily walking shoe (transitioning from the running shoe I have worn for years). They are very comfortable and I’m glad I made the switch! Plus, I’m getting compliments on my “fun” or “cute” shoes.

The minute my new Peluva's arrived, I put them on and took them for a spin on my daily walk with my dog. I was immediately impressed with how comfortable they were! I have a history of plantar fasciitis and my feet pronate inward so I was concerned they might not work for me. But even after wearing them all day, my feet still feel great and I'm obsessed with them! I can't wait to buy another pair, I just have to decide which one's I want next.

The Peluva shoe is the way to go! Perfect structure for all feet. Couldn't ask for a better solution for walking, exercising or hikes for proper placement of toes and foot. So comfortable that you do feel like you are barefoot. Thank you Peluva for your manufactured uniqueness in these trainers!

I've only had these shoes a couple weeks and I am loving them! It takes a little practice getting them on, but my feet are so thankful! I can't wait to try some different styles!
