I’m a horticulturist and on my feet all day walking on concrete and gravel/dirt. I have plantar fasciitis on my right foot and a bunion trying very hard to make an appearance on my left foot. Which Peluvas would suit me best please? I’m a female, size EUR38 in Australia.
How are these different or better than Vibram Five Fingers? PS: I had a pair of Vibrams years ago, I loved the idea, but my 2nd toes are long and did not fit well into those shoes. They seem VERY unforgiving of different toe sizes. If they were more customizable, they’d be amazing. Or if you have toes that fit perfectly into each space.

Born To Run - the book by Christopher McDougall about the Tarahumara Indians is along the lines of these Peluga shoes. Even if you’re a lover of Hokas, which so many are - there’s a science behind barefoot or zero drop running. We aren’t all as fit as Mark and some of us really aren’t going to be switching to barefoot running. But at 62,63, post menopausal I thought I had to quit running because even in my new Brooks Ghosts or Hoka Bondi’s, I was getting back pain, ankle pain and shin splints and my big toe ached. I thought I was going to have to just start walking. Then I on a whim tried a zero drop shoe - Flux - and almost immediately- I’m running 5k’s again with no pain! I’m loving it. So now I’m going to try these Peluga’s. I’ll let you know how I like them. But I already love these running videos!
I don't think they say anywhere in the book that you should just go out the door and do an ultra marathon without preparation. The whole point is that we need to re-learn proper running form.
I liked the video. It's concise 7 clearly explained, but I wonder about dismissing typical running shoe cushioning while predicating from a rubberized track. If you're forced to run on paved surfaces for all your training, I can't believe minimalist shoes are the way to go.
Great comment for sure. We do not recommend endurance running in minimalist shoes, especially on hard surfaces. Since most all runner's feet are poorly adapted. The best strategy is to try and life a barefoot-inspired lifestyle, get your feet strong, and run in your favorite shoes while trying to exhibit good form, particularly the important midfoot landing.
Good comment. We don't recommend people do endurance running in minimalist shoes because its very difficult to adapt. My videos show doing low-impact drills in Peluvas, and I think most runners will benefit from doing lots of walking in barefoot style shoes and running in their choice of shoes, WHILE striving to improve form with that key midfoot landing
Peluva.com is the place to order and get fantastic customer service. We have the absolute finest materials and R&D and durability with these shoes, and charge a fair price for direct orders. I hope you will enjoy a pair and they will last a long time!
What a ridiculous demonstration. Who runs like that it cushioned shoes? Not anyone aware of running technique at least. If these advice where so amazing all elite runners would run barefoot and you no what - none - 0% - are...
The longer you send your arms forward when actually moving forward the longer your feed will be moving forward breaking you and leading to all types of problems. Not a very good recommendation I'm afraid. Also - none - 0% of the elite runners have a 90 degree angle on their arm movements when running so this is way off.
Good point, I said 'pick an angle' and mention 90 degrees as a simple visual. True many elites exhibit a tighter angle and a varied angle during stride pattern. Im not sure a jogger has direct application to elite runner for arm angle? As a triathlete, I found creating tighter angle caused bicep fatigue since I was running in a fatigued upper body state. Trying to lower arms to around 90 degrees as a thought cue is helpful for many runners who tense in the shoulders too. I dont understand the first part of the comment sorry, but thanks for taking the time to comment.
I can run In place but I have to lean a lot to move forward and end up with problems like anterior pelvic tilt and straight shuffling legs. Aside from working on mobility any other ways to fix my stride? Thanks
Running with good form is the best way to fix your stride. So if you can only maintain correct angles for a short time, you do that and then walk to recover, then resume. This is a much better workout than shuffling along for miles and miles with poor form!
Very good video on striking and posture. I’m 76 years old. I have some running faults brought about by age, but this video will help me try to correct those faults.
The problem with these shoes is that they are sooo expensive even with discounts. Also if you want more publicity, make more RU-vid shorts, and have more people review them. 😊
