Women's Strand Sport Mesh

Getting it on…

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!!

Very comfortable

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.

Comfort for my old worn out feet

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.
