Your Feet Were Designed to Move Freely
Modern shoes compress your toes into a single box. Peluva gives each toes its own space the way nature intended.
True Toe Separation
Your foot has 29 muscles, 26 bones, and 33 joints. When your toes can move independently, you activate natural grip, improve balance, and restore the proprioception that conventional shoes have dulled for years.
Real World Cushioning
A 9mm EVA midsole gives you groundfeel without sacrificing comfort, making Peluva ideal for all-day wear on hard surfaces.
Zero-Drop, Flexible Sole
Peluva’s flat, flexible sole allows your body to achieve optimal posture and gait mechanics, reduce joint stress, and interact gracefully with the ground for all manner of complex kinetic chain activity.

“As a functional podiatrist I look for footwear that supports the natural function of the foot and the important role it plays in controlling human movement. Peluva offers footwear that allows the foot to move as it was designed while creating stability and strength through the toes.”

Look great feel great
If you thought you knew what comfortable shoes feel like, I suggest you don’t until you’ve tried Peluvas. I couldn’t be more pleased with the comfort of these shoes. As long as you don’t mind having conversations with random people asking about them!

Strong Toes Make Strong Ankles, Knees, Glutes, and Back
I have worn these Women's Strand Sport Mesh for almost 4 months now, and could not be happier! I have suffered from plantar fasciitis, a plantar fibroma, an early bunion, ankle sprains, knee arthritis, and tight hamstrings and lower back. Wearing these shoes, even after a few hours, seems to lessen all of these issues. The ability to splay the toes, moving them independently, allows me to really plant myself as I am doing weight lifting such as squats and single leg raises. I have walked and have run in them, with ease. The zero drop makes you feel like you are walking practically barefoot, allowing the calf to stretch appropriately. Running downhill in my Peluvas, I was able to grip the earth, and was able to run way faster than normal and not feel like I was going to trip or fall. I have even done yoga in my Peluvas, and it allowed me to stick in the deep poses better and helped my balance on poses where I normally slip a little. I have worn Peluvas to work in healthcare, and my patients say they look "cute," but I wear them for the comfort. My feet never ache at the end of the day. I really didn't have much of a "break-in" period as some have described, but maybe I am lucky. The only thing I wish were slightly different, is that the big toe slot were 1-2 mm wider, but I may just need to size up. I think my big toes may just be slightly larger that average, lol. They seem to stay pretty clean looking too, even after hiking in some dusty areas. Easy wet wash cloth and clean again. I bought them in the pretty light blue, but am considering getting them in black and perhaps the hiking style. The tennis court shoe is also catching my eye! They definitely look cuter with the no show socks or perhaps no socks at all, but I love crew socks, and the Peluva toe socks are working well.

My new favorite shoes!
I’ve walked over 30,000 steps in my new peluvas, lifted, jumped, and trained in them. These are my favorite shoes - comfortable, toes spread, improved balance and strength. I just bought 3 new pairs including another pair of trainers, slip ons, and tennis court - and of course my wife got a pair as well. Highly recommended!

These are a great pair of shoes. I sized up like it said but I think I’ll just stay with a 9 instead of 9 1/2. They feel a bit big but other than that I love them .. oh one more thing. I wish they came with shoe laces not the elastic ones. Thank you.

Impressed AND obsessed!
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.

Perfect Boot
Got these just before departing on a trip out of country. I wore them everyday walking several miles a day and they felt absolutely comfortable from the first step. They handle multiple terrains and went with each outfit with zero issues. These are the perfect boot in my opinion.

Lightweight Joy!
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!

Built by an Athlete Who's Been Barefoot for 30 Years
Mark Sisson is a former elite endurance athlete who qualified for the Olympic Trials marathon and raced Ironman triathlons professionally. After decades of studying human movement and founding Primal Kitchen, Mark turned his attention to the one piece of gear that most impacts how we move: our shoes.
Having lived barefoot for over 30 years, Mark knew what the foot needed — and what was missing from every shoe on the market. Peluva was born from a simple idea: give each toe its own space, add just enough cushioning for modern surfaces, and make it look good enough that people actually want to wear it every day.
