Welcome to our latest shoe showdown! In this video, we're putting the Vibram Vtrain 2.0 and the Peluva Strand toe-to-toe. Though these shoes have a lot in common, each shoe has its own unique strengths, and we're here to help you decide which one suits your specific needs.
The Strand does really well on the road, providing a smooth and comfortable ride for your daily runs. On the other hand, the V-Train 2.0 proves to be a solid contender in the gym, offering the support and flexibility needed for a variety of workouts. But each can crossover into the others strengths pretty functionally.
We won't pick a winner because both shoes have their own niche where they thrive. It's not about one being better than the other; it's about which shoe aligns better with your preferences and activities.
In this video, we'll share our experiences with both shoes, highlighting their respective strengths and where they shine. Whether you're a road runner or a gym enthusiast, we've got you covered.

This is exactly the review that I needed. Thank you!! I have been vacillating between these for over a year now. I am also a delivery driver, do light strength training, and do more walking than running, so this review is practically tailored to my information needs.

@sonsofsever 2 месяца назад

Which did you choose????

@@sonsofsever I went for the Peluva, but also got some Vibram slip on for casual wear.

@sinnastevenson2302 Месяц назад

@sonsofsever So, I have had both brands for a bit now. Peluva, I will say, has a terrible size conversion chart. I use European sizes because they are standardised, unlike US sizes. I wear a 41 in all sneakers of every brand, a 42 in all boots except steel toes of every brand, and a 43 in steel toes of every brand. I wear a 42 in Peluva sneakers, apparently, and could use another half-size yet for better comfort. This is per their chart, which means their chart is wrong. As to the rest, I find the Vibrams to be more suited to casual wear, as I thought they would. The Peluvas will be nice for my delivery job, once I break them in, and that's an odd thing for me these days. I've never had a barefoot or minimalist shoe that felt like I needed to break it in. There's a bit too much padding for my taste. I think I'll stick with Vibrams, after these wear out.

@sonsofsever Месяц назад

@@sinnastevenson2302 the only comment I have here is that we have found European sizes to be super inconsistent 😂 we never know what we’re getting when it comes to tightness with European sizes. From all the companies we work with, I have tried 41-45 and all of those sizes have fit me from different companies 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wanted to let people know, with my vibrams, they didn't feel the best day one, but after a week and 50 hours in them, they loosened up a little, and my toes adapted to them more. One foot fit pretty good first try on, the other has some issues as I broke it and some toes in the past. The broken toes were the problem areas, the shoes rubbed on my toes weird, they've since stopped having that issue. Just wanted to say this for anyone who is on the fence when they receive their toe shoes.

@satansujay 4 месяца назад

Do you have the v-train? Wanted to get the v-runs but the store had only kso evo. Right foot fit perfectly but my left foot had all toes a bit bent coz they were a bit too tight. I can’t run in them coz I need to clench my toes a tiny bit.

@satansujay 4 месяца назад

The store assistant sucked and couldn’t answer a single question about whether they loosen after using them a bit.

@kyesims2426 2 месяца назад

Only use i found out of the Vibrams, was fighting outside!

@joylox 3 месяца назад

What is the support like? My physio suggested I switch to a more supportive shoe because of some issues I was having mostly with squats and deadlifts, as my knees like to fall inwards, and my arches collapse. I ended up getting New Balance 880 v14. I like them, I find they help my form, especially as they make me slightly taller which keeps my feet on the ground. But I miss the thinner soles. I'm thinking of maybe getting a pair of shoes specifically for lifting after the summer when I should be strong enough to keep proper form without so much foam under my feet. But I still want some arch support for those heavier lifts. I know some Vibram ones are better than others (Trek Ascent has much more arch support than KSO, for one), but I hadn't seen much on the V-Train 2.0 and if it's more supportive than their hiking models, or somewhere in the middle. PS: for a more weather proof one, Nikwax Cotton Proof works well on Vibram's insulated models. Still not great, but better than their failed Gore-Tex ones that leaked so much and were not breathable at all. I use the Trek Ascent Insulated ones that I treated for winter hikes across icy and snowy patches and stay dry. But I'm also looking into waterproof jikatabi as an alternative.

@caitlin6935 2 месяца назад

Sounds like you need to strengthen your feet so you can support being in thinner shoes. You’re supposed to be able to pronate but and a very big BUT is that you also need the strength to support coming out of pronation (collapsing). When lifting it’s even harder and putting more force. I would wear your supported shoes and just strength train your feet. Then try going back to flatter shoes. Remember when you were supported shoes, it’s like a cast. It makes your feet weaker. But if they are already weak, you don’t want to put them under too much load, go slow.

@checosam03 7 месяцев назад

I already measured my foot and I am size 43 according to the vff page. My question is: if I want to wear it with socks (obviously corresponding to this shoe) should I choose 43 or the next size which would be 44?

@sonsofsever 7 месяцев назад

So I would say depends on the socks but I can wear all my toe socks with these. I think you should be good going true to size

@checosam03 7 месяцев назад

Actually I was thinking of buying the same ones from the Vibram brand, a couple of packages just to have for the training days. He would never wear them barefoot!! You're right, thanks for the advice, I'll do that.

Can you run without socks and have little effect on your feet? Or when running do you recommend always wearing socks?

@sonsofsever 4 месяца назад

Both of these shoes are very sockless friendly. I have run and lifted sockless in both with zero discomfort

@ratchat123 5 месяцев назад

Just pull the insole out of the vibram and they instantly get much more comfy

@sonsofsever 5 месяцев назад

I dunno about yours but these ones are stitched in and I like them just fine 😂

@joylox 3 месяца назад

I had a pair I wore pretty much every day in high school, in all weather, and that led to me machine washing them every week. The insoles came unglued after 2 years of constant wear, but are thin, and mostly there to protect your foot from how itchy the bottom is. It also makes a huge difference for insulation. The V-NEOP came with extra insoles to help with how cold it can get, and the Trek Ascent Insulated with its wool insole is great for walking on ice. As a Canadian, that's important, but if you're somewhere warm and always wear socks, yeah, the insoles aren't needed.

@arad818 3 месяца назад

Why /How did the peluvas not fit his foot? Cuz his big toe is longer? or in what way?

@sonsofsever 3 месяца назад

His pinky toe wouldn’t go into the pinky toe hole. It was too short

@joylox 3 месяца назад

@@sonsofsever That's good to know. I often have a bit of a baggy spot on my pinky toe in toe socks, where my biggest two toes tend to wear holes in them. Especially my SmartWool ones, which sucks because they're discontinued. I find most Vibrams a little big in the pinky toe, but in stretchy upper fabrics, it doesn't matter as much. I've been eyeing Peluva, but I think I'll stick with Vibram because of that.

They’re both pretty good in that regard. Probably the v train. But they’re both like gloves. They kinda stretch to fit your width

@jgmidnight 2 месяца назад

It looks like the foot spills out over the edge of the Peluva Strand during a lift.

@sonsofsever 2 месяца назад

A little but that’s more because I have a very wide foot in a very weird way. I have almost like a bunion at the knuckle of my pinky toe. I don’t blame the shoe for the shape of my foot and I honestly don’t notice it. All that said, the Strand is fine for lifting but by far not my favorite lifting shoe. It’s a good overall “training” shoe. But I prefer to lift in something with less EVA midsole

@@holliedekraai4137 the Peluvas do seem to be holding up better. Chris has put 150 miles of running on them plus casual wear and they are still in great condition. It's a tough call cause people do love Xeros, they always get a lot of good reviews, but we just haven't had the best experience with their quality and longevity
