Men's Strand Lightweight Trainer

Favorite shoe

Got these as my first barefoot shoe. Having lateral and anterior pelvic tilt; I was looking for something to help my foundation become stable. I chose peluva’s due to having 9mm cushion over other competitors having 2-3mm. I was surprised at the comfort of these shoes; I instantly wore them first day out of the box and haven’t looked back. I also got a wide toe box shoe shortly after with 3mm cushioning for the gym and wore them out one day, but never doing that again. Peluva shoes are now my everyday wear shoe. Great comfort, protection, and style

peluvs shoes

Really like my new peluva shoes. I can feel my toes spread out in them and it feels like your grounded to the floor. I initially bought them to try and straighten the bunoin on my big toe and its helping with that problem, but i can tell you there really comfortable to wear.

Functional

I have been wearing these shoes daily for just over a year, and they have not fallen apart yet. I will say these are good for beginners just getting into the barefoot or zero drop style. Coming from regular shoes, these took at least a month to break in and for my feet to stop hurting in them, I wear them at work 6-8 hours a day walking and standing. Once my feet adjusted to the this style of shoe, they felt amazing to put on, tho my feet still get sore from walking 6-8, but they never hurt the next morning. These are thicker, and not as flexible, than most barefoot shoes, and they provide a bit of cushion for walking on hard surfaces, like tile, or pavement. They are still too thin for winter, any weather below 40F, just make sure you aren't outside too long, I swap to a fuzzy zero drop boot for winter. I highly recommend giving these a shot if you are new to zero drop or barefoot shoes, BUT, I would personally price tag these around $80-90. I bought them at $120, they are now around $150, I'm sure the R&D may cost a lot, and inflation is, you know, but the quality of the physical shoe materials is seems the same as any other shoe. Due to the increase in cost I will not be buying these again once I need new shoes. If money is not an issue, they are still a great shoe to try!
